I Wonder as I Wander…

So it’s not a long trip or has lots of new things to see or do, but we did end up going to the cities for Bob’s spring meeting. We picked up Kara at Hibbing and brought her down with us. She wanted to go to the State Speech meet, so took a personal day. Paul came down later and met us there. We stayed with Ross and Richard and played with the Wii—Each person makes a Mii (a character that looks like them). We had a lot of fun making them for each of us. It’s kind of fun now because when we do some of the activities, we see all the family members.

On Saturday, we drove over to St. Cloud where we helped Kara and Paul sheetrock in the basement of their duplex. I had never been involved with sheetrocking—it is an interesting (and very dirty) experience. We had sheetrock dust all over us. Kara and I got pretty good at measuring and cutting—although we cut a piece for a closet, but then couldn’t maneuver it into the closet—so ended up having to cut it down to get it in.

We went back to St. Cloud the next weekend and then had a lot of sanding to do—that’s even dirtier than the cutting and rasping off the edges—especially when you are sanding the ceiling and it’s all falling in your hair and face. We also discovered the joys of mudding! Now I can put sheetrocking on my resume!
