I had the final inspection on my basement workshop Wednesday. There's still a few details to finish but for now, I've started building a hammered dulcimer down there for my wife and look forward to many pleasant hours doing so, and several other instruments in the future. My seven daughters are all healthy and doing brilliantly in school and even the teens are starting to get a grasp on the concept of personal responsibility and that their parents are not their enemies. And one of our two chickens laid her first egg the other day.
