[Loch-soilleir] Checking in...

[wiselaw at comcast.net]

Hi all,
Got the house situated, with the roof covered, carpets drying, water and power from the generator and the grandparents in to keep an eye on the kiddos, so Teresa and I headed off to Italy.  Roughing it atm looking out at St.Peter's Basilica from the hotel window.  Tough I know, but somebody had to do it :)  Will be back on the 27th, so can give folks a hand if needed.  Of course I'll still have to repair my house when we get back...
Regards,
Alexis
