As of the time of this writing, Trace, Will, and I are all doing fine. We are hoping that y’all are doing fine as well and coping with the bizarre impacts that this virus has had on our ways of life. It’s hard to think of anyone or anything that hasn’t been affected in some way by this horrible virus. Trace has continued to work from home as usual so very little has changed in that regard for him. As for me, Magnolia has shut down the Market at the Silos until 30 Mar 2020, so I am home for the duration. So far, there are about 57 cases in…
A Slight Change in Plans
So you are probably wondering why I have not posted anything yet about the house and how it’s coming along. Well, we have run into a few snags.

I realize it has been quite a while since I sent out my first email blast. Well, thanks to my son, Will, who set this thing up, I have this blog to not only get you guys caught up, but also to keep y’all (required language here in Texas) up to date with what’s going on in our little world down here in Waco, Texas. We’ve had lots going on and we have been super busy. So sit back and read on. Hopefully, you will find it mildly entertaining.
