The Pressure is On

We have just found out that in the Aug 14,15,16 2009 our community is hosting a community reunion called "Come Home to the River" That means that many people are coming from all over the country to come back to their roots to see family and friends. The organizing committee is busily preparing different events for people to do while they are back home and have asked us if we would host some events. Just about everyone in the community at one time or another had worked at the homestead. It at one time had played a very important part in the community and so it was only fitting that it be available during the Home Coming. We had decided to host two events, a coffee and dessert social on the first day (this was organized by Clarke's mother and two sisters) and a story telling session on Saturday evening. We also said we would have the house open for all 3 days so anyone who wanted to come back to reminisce could do so. Family that would be coming from a far will need a place to stay.


We came home from the meeting to take stock of what we needed to get done before August. Are we going to be able to do it?

Never mind the dust that is everywhere through out the house........no time for doubts.......there is no turning back now.
