I am in NY, packing up some more things for Ken's dad to take to NH when he goes out next weekend. Ken's parents should be here this afternoon, and will stay through tomorrow to help with packing and cleaning. We'll fit what we can into their truck, leaving room for luggage.

Ken is of course in NH, and took delivery today of our new refrigerator. The old one that came with the house was just too old, and probably very inefficient. Unfortunately, the new fridge came with a dent in the door, so they are going to order a new door to replace it. However, it's functional.

The new septic system is also well underway. They had to move a small boulder to put in the leach bed, so I suggested Ken ask them to move it to the area that will be fenced for the sheep for this winter. It would provide a bit of entertainment for them, as they love to climb up on things and this boulder was fairly flat on top which should provide for good "king of the hill" games.

The lawn here needs to be mowed badly. Between being gone and some rainy days, I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Ken's dad might be able to do that today.

Ken went to a potluck dinner last night in Tamworth. Almost everyone knew who he was once they heard his name. I had introduced us on the Tamworth Exchange Yahoo! group last week and everyone was very welcoming. It's really nice to have a friendly place to live in.

Wish I was there instead of here!
