Last night, Lorena, Kelly, Christian, and I went over to Jim and JoAnn Waldo’s house again to hook up her new DSL broadband internet line.  It went surprisingly smoothly.  It is always fun to hang out and talk with them which we did until about 9:30.  When we got home, Christian, Kelly, and I read about half of chapter two of How to Win Friends and Influence People.  All of us are enjoyinging the book very much.  It is amazingly interesting even for kids and the concepts are great concepts.  I think this would a good book for us to read more than once.  Maybe we will make it our “begin the summer” read-aloud for a few years.

The cabinet guy came yesterday and put trim around many of the cabinets and Mark and his helpers poured the concrete for half of the new porch.  Today, they are going to put the forms up for the rest of the porch and set the island in the middle of the kitchen.  Tomorrow the counter tops arrive and Friday the rest of the new appliances arrive.  It is all coming together very fast now.
