28 Days Before Closing (The time that remains before we have to get out of this house)

We were just ready to head out the door to go over to the new house to meet with our wall builder when we got a call from our wall builder. Now I'm not sure when or if we actually will be getting a wall built today or not. One of his work guys didn't show up for work today and we're told that they didn't plan to work tomorrow (even though he told us that they would) which was a relief to me because I have church tomorrow and it would have been hard to manage being at two places at the same time. We were assured that they would definitely start work on Monday if they don't get out there today. So we have to wait until we hear whether or not they plan to come out today or not so we can let them into the house to work. Regardless, I have to go out there today to bring all this stuff over there that's packed into the car because I don't want to go to church tomorrow in a car that's packed full of stuff. It looks like I've been garage saleing. On the plus side, you notice that I could write this blog. On the minus side, it sure would have been nice to sleep a little longer this morning. It's a grey day which is always conducive to sleeping in.

Today's Little Bit of Trivia

In 1787, as the Constitutional Convention was being held in Philadelphia to draw up the country's new constitution, political factions were already beginning to emerge. There were "Federalists", who wanted to create a strong federal government by giving it powers that had previously belonged to the state governments. And there were "Anti-Federalists", who opposed the new constitution which promised to give powers that had previously belonged to the state governments to the federal government. The "Federalists" won. The new constitution went into effect on March 4, 1789.
