Kelli had a bad night, which was a shame as she had gone three weeks without a problem.
I suspect she was buzzed by Jill and Chris’s daughter Morgan, who is a sweet child, but she is super hyper. She talks at warp speed, and it could have been enough to dwell in Kelli’s brain stopping her going to sleep.
I had to go to Menards to buy some timber for the drawers and bins for the kitchen, and it had been snowing overnight, so there was about three inches everywhere.
I took it slow and collected the wood I needed.
I felt like I inspected every piece of inch by four in the rack, there were many that were bowed, twisted and warped, it a wonder that anyone can use any of it.
On the entrance to the store there used to be two large areas of undeveloped land that belonged to Menards, they were prime sites, and for sale for a while.
One was eventually bought by a car wash that turned the green grass into a concrete slab, like the town needs another car wash.
The other patch of green has become the Menards personal storage facility, for people who hoard stuff and pay fifty bucks for the privilege, like Holland needs another storage facility.
The number of wonderful green spaces that have been lost to development is terrible, and it will never come back.
