We started off the weekend with a little work around the house. It was a beautiful sunny morning yesterday so we walked up to town to get some things in market and get a little exercise. Saturday is kind of a nice time to shop, because a lot of the vendors have fresh produce in preparation for the big market day Sunday, but there aren't nearly as many people. And you run into folks you know and can stop and talk without getting mobbed. I even got a call from my mom and dad while I was strolling around the stalls of veggies. Very nice morning!
After we got home, we took a trip out to Clinica Caris to check out the new dental cabinetry that went in Friday. Kemmel was helping to install them on Friday, but had to get back for our Quiche lessons before they could finish. They turned out great, and the workmanship is excellent. Now if we could just get that sign! "It should be ready next week........."

All we need is a dentist! Coming soon......
We finished out the day with general cleaning and straightening and hired our next door neighbors' son Brandon to do a job for us that would have qualified for that show "Dirty Jobs" . Our long-abandoned cistern project (of the owner) is nothing more than a huge hole in our front yard that fills with water and grass clippings. After the rains stop, we are going to dig a new cistern, but in a different area, and fill this one in. Well, Brandon stepped up the plate and did a great job and in about 2 hours had it drained and most of the slime layer out. It is definitely nice to have teenagers around!
Any crawdads in there?

Well, today, Kemmel and Tomas and Gaspar head to Clinica Ezell to work with a surgical team. I, unfortuneately have to stay back. I will be studying for a quiz (of all things) this week and try to get some of my other scholastic projects done.
Hope everyone has a good Lord's Day.
