Yesterday we walked our new house with a contractor. Whew,
do we have a lot of work to do. Just about everything we own is in storage
awaiting re-engineered heating, new flooring, scrapped ceilings, updated
plumbing, and lots of paint. Guess our stuff will be hidden away in a dark
warehouse awhile. In the meantime, we’ll stay in an apartment and make frequent
visits to our renovation project. I already warned the contractor to expect to
see us daily, so he should bid accordingly.
Our house may not be ready, but family and Omaha friends
have already made us feel welcome. We were even welcomed by the Department of
Motor Vehicles and the Douglas County Treasurer. The people in Omaha sure are friendly.
I’m hoping the temporary quarters will give me plenty of
time to write. I already started researching the next Steve Dancy Tale. That
means I’m reading books about the places Steve and his friends might visit. Reading
about the Old West is fun, but I’m getting anxious to start writing.
Especially, since I’ve come up with a tentative title. I hesitate to share it
because it may change, but for now it will be called, Jenny’s Revenge.
