Remember my girls writing letters? My 11 year-old wrote 3 letters, and got 3 back. She also got some bracelets from one of her Aunt's (a brother/sister celebration held in India, sorry for the bad photo).
I have mailed the last of my postcards for the postcard swap I participated in.

We are currently doing an entire inside and outside homestead clean up. It's long over due, but it's best to get it done this week. I've been carpet cleaning (cannot wait until we have zero carpet here), dusting, wiping, weeding flower beds, and doing a lot of coughing. We've washed up bedding for the camper, took a load to recycling, cleaned up the garage, but there is so much more to do. Including those light fixtures that keep collecting more dust.
My bedroom needs a complete overhaul. When they cut the tile in the bathroom, dust went everywhere, despite the air purifier. It may take me two days in that room alone, just to get all the dust out.
Our barn roofing is being delivered today, and will be in progress soon. They are calling for more rain yet this week, so his project is taking priority.
Hubby has many jobs going on this week too - replace the front screen door, tar the wood-stove piping on the roof, replace an electrical outlet we found went bad after the last storm, camper repairs, and a lot more. And we still need the fencing finished before winter.
Today, I plan to make a batch of homemade ginger-ale, to enjoy after my work is done for the day.

Thanks for the letter writing reminder...I need to get a couple of them out in the next day or two.
Let's face it we all like getting something in the mail... that doesn't have a bill attached to it.
A all-around clean up must be in the air...that is what we've been doing this week too! :)

I'm playing catchup but it sounds like you are REALLY getting things done around the old homestead! Hopefully that will motivate me here! I wish I had you as a next-door neighbor!
