Brutal weather

What terrible storms ravaged Mississippi today - many deaths and incredible damage. We’ve had rain and thunderstorms all day today (nearly 2” of rain), but nothing like that. The weather has kept things nice and cool today. But we’re still under a tornado watch.

The coolness has been great for the work. John and Allan got all the heavy furniture piled up in the middles of the bedrooms. We finished getting stuff off the walls, and then started peeling wallpaper. John got most of it done, and I did what I could reach. There’s a little bit left to do tomorrow. The painter really has a job ahead of him.

But, we hate all the empty walls. It even echoes. Going through all this stuff is really going to be a chore, but it’ll be nice to have paintings on the wall again.
