Still Recovering from Clarinda Weekend

I am still so tired from this weekend. We moved 70 heavy sheets of plywood from our garage to a rental truck, drove the 4 hours to Clarinda and moved the plywood from the truck to the building, a backbreaking task to say the least. We then could not find the Uhaul place to return the truck, even though Clarinda is an impossibly tiny town. We finally found it hiding behind the Dollar Store, went to the Clarinda house to find the furnace not working. It appears that the batteries are out in the thermostat, but new ones did not work. We moved all beds into one room and put on a space heater, only to wake up hours later to a very hot house, as the furnace finally kicked in. Had the repairman check things on Monday, new thermostat installed, crisis averted for now. I picked up a few things left from my Christmas show, here is my photographs of what I found. My whites and blues and robins eggs are coming soon, they are some of my best work, hoping to have them ready for show and tell this weekend!
