out of pocket

I have been out of pocket the last two weeks. My daughter and her husband have started building a house themselves and Dale and I have have been helping as much as we can. They have the walls up and are working on the roof. They hope to get it dried in soon and will then finish it as they can. Dale built our house years ago and we have been encouraging them. I am so excited. I will be busy in the next few weeks. I have an art show coming up and a Spring fest so I will not be around as much as I would like. I am trying to clear my plate before the 18th. Hope everyone is well.
