Hooray!

New carpet in family room, writing room, stairs, hall, and upstairs bathroom.

Carpet layers were four brothers and a cousin, all from Mexico. We spoke a little Spanish. They did good work. You should see the stairs. That was the hard part.

Andrew, Paul, Peter came tonight and moved the furniture and other stuff--and I do mean stuff--back. If you've been in my house, you know how much "furniture" I have in these places. Imagine all that in my living room.

Yes, I did thank them.

And, obviously, I now have use of my computer again. Three days without it showed me my dependence upon it.

Is that a good thing?

But it's about the carpet. I want everyone to come and see it. But not to step on it.
