Russ, Butch and Gary accomplished a great deal yesterday. Russ plans to put a railing on the steps off the new room and then the steps will be completed...except for paint and that happens to be my job.
While Russ and Gary worked on the steps Butch worked on the interior and it is now to a point where the expert hand of Russ is needed there as well. The added help of Gary has speeded up the process tremendously. Gary and Lou can stay as long as they like!
Last night we went to the farmers market where we shopped, ate supper and went up in the tower. It was a great time to be in the tower because the visibility was crystal clear, much better than when we were there with Sherri. There is an article about the tower in the latest edition of Iowa Living.

We rode around the area and looked at various features and oddities of Jefferson. We made our way back to the house and finished off the strawberry-rhubarb pie Keri had made for us. I must say it was the tastiest strawberry-rhubarb pie I have ever enjoyed. Keri had gone on her nightly bike ride and shared some great news with us upon her return. The fellow who has blocked the alley with his 5th wheel for the past 3 years has moved it. We do not know how long it will be out of the alley but we always have hopes it will be permanent on the rare occasions that it is moved. So hope along with us please!
I plan to get some pictures of the 3 workman, Russ, Butch and Gary and their progress on the projects later today.
