No, I didn't forget that I already wrote the word once. (Though there are times when that might be a very legitimate guess!) I just have a couple of quick updates on life in tornado land and some fresh starts. I mentioned before that they weren't sure whether or not they would rebuild their home on the original foundation, though they were given permission by the insprector to do so. The delay partly had to do with rezoning taking place in the town...and if it did, the part of town they had lived in might end up being an industrial/business area, rather than residential.
My latest word from Lori says that they will be moving to another part of town, so that is one decision completed! They have been able to look at a few empty lots in town (well, the tornado made the whole town one empty lot!....but I mean available lots) and have also taken a look at several different options of houses to put on said lots. It looks like a decision could be made on both those things fairly soon, which would be great, because that would bring them that much closer to being back in a real house in just a few months.
Unfortunately (for Lori) all the house plans do come with a kitchen. She was so hoping to avoid that in a future home. Funny the things that come standard, I guess. :) But they were able to find some plans they really liked - and they especially liked one of the lots they looked at too! So all those things are very good news. Now we start (or join?) the waiting game....
PS - Hey Lori, since I know you'll be by to read this at some point, I'll tell you that when Mom and I went through the model home at the fair, I so thought of you when we went through the master bathroom. It had a huge garden tub right in the middle of the bathroom - with this big wide ledge all the way around it. I don't know if you would have liked any of the rest of the house, but you would love the bathroom! Hey, maybe if it's still out on Saturday, you can see it!
