Setting up the Swing Set

Fiona really wanted a swing set for when our cousins, Dakota and Sierra come to visit in September. My Dad built a swing set out of logs from our firewood pile and we tried setting it up, but it just didn't look stable. So my Mom asked the secretary of the school, Julie, if she knew of anyone who was getting rid of a swing set. She just so happened to be getting rid of hers and she said we could have it because her boys are too old for it! We went to her house and picked it up (Dad had to detach everything) and now we have a free swing set (Mom made Julie a batch of fudge for a thank-you)!

Transferred!

That same day, we also inherited these free items:

A box of boy's clothes from a friend...

Two free sewing machines from another friend....

And free dishes from Aunt Mauray....

Tilly loves pudding!

Fiona helped Dad with the new door trim.
