It's been more than a little wild around here with the kitchen remodel going on. Nearly every spare minute has been spent with some construction project or searching the inter webs for stuff and ideas. The kitchen is finally staring to come together with the installation of the cabinets starting late last week. If things go smoothly we should be able to cobble together a functional kitchen within two to three weeks. I'm not holding my breath cause you know how construction stuff goes.
On other fronts Mom is still being herself, though I'm letting her. The last couple of doctor visits have subtracted two different meds from her LONG list. She was still getting dizzy just this last week though nothing is showing on her implanted heart monitor. Hopefully the removal of these meds will prove fruitful.
Sonny Boy has started football now full force. Four days a week, two hour practices. You might think this was the NFL, not 5th grade peewee. He likes it though, and he's comfortable with his coaches, a big improvement over last year. Igor is rather bored this summer. Both boys go down to the pool daily but Sonny Boy generally hangs out with a group of kids his age that are there while Igor swims. Igor's social circle is smaller and he is not near as social as Sonny Boy and being on the younger side of the pool crowd leaves him out a bit.
This week it was officially announced that my hometown school district is closing. It's not really unexpected, the place has been in decline for a long time. Low enrollment, poor achievement, and plagued with mismanagement it is time. This will be the last nail in the coffin the small town has been filling for a while now. A strange feeling knowing your school (heck the whole district) will no longer exist.

So, what does that do to your property values if there is no school district? I guess it's better to have none than a bad one...but, gees. That is disturbing!
Hope the kitchen gets done soon!
The property values were pretty much nil anyway. Big, nice houses go for easy less than 100k. I could live like a king there for our modest house here in WI.
My wonder is what happens now that kids will be bussed over a half hour or possibly more to the next school district? Graduation rates are already pitiful, you think a kid who finds school a waste of time is gonna wanna spend two hours a day on hot school bus?
Make sure someone turns off the lights cause that town is dead.
