We finally got a bit productive today around the house.\u00a0 There are plenty of jobs that will need to be done before we can put the house up for sale.\u00a0 Melissa spent a good part of the day cleaning out the laundry room.\u00a0 She also took several bags of stuff to Goodwill.\u00a0 I started work on the upstairs bathroom.\u00a0 The caulking around the tub needed to be replaced and there&#8217;s a small section of the wall that was water damaged.\u00a0 Eventually the walls need to be repainted.\u00a0 I also got the back yard leaf-free, so that feels good.\u00a0\u00a0So much to do still and so little energy! Tomorrow I get to tell our church about our trip to Haiti.\u00a0 I only get three to five minutes, but part of the announcement is that we will be gathering on December 5 to share stories and pictures for an hour and a half.\u00a0 Not sure what I&#8217;m going to say yet, but I&#8217;ll think it through before I hit the sack tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago Melissa brought home a large plastic outdoor water table.\u00a0 I believe we were living in Indianapolis at the time.\u00a0 Caleb and Hannah played with it a bit when they were toddlers, but it was hard to keep the thing dirt and mosquito free.\u00a0 Ever since we moved into our current house, the thing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6461"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6462,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6461\/revisions\/6462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
