Notice to the HATS Board of Directors:
October’s report will be late because all the papers and receipts are in boxes and Karen and Joan won’t be able to find anything for a few days.

Yup…I finally got the office cleared out and prepped for painting. I know I know…I was supposed to start on Monday, but on Monday the school was closed and I got busy with the kids…

• Then there was a leak in the girls’ home sink
• Then I had to tidy the depot to find the parts for the sink repair
• Then there was a toilet to unblock
• Then before the plumbing supplies were put away there was a kitchen sink leak
• Then the kids wanted their bikes out
• Then I had to fix a bicycle seat
• Then the house mothers need the propane changed
• Then Karen wanted a program loaded unto Joan’s computer
• Then I had to show Joan how to use the program
• Then a hockey game broke out
• Then I needed a nap
• Then I had to do the blog
• Then I had to check the water tanks
• Then the spring on the boys’ home door need to ne reattached
• Then a quick trip to Luckner’s store for orphanage supplies
• Then the house mothers need a sack of Fab from the depot
• Then I started emptying out the office.

It’s all good stuff though, just the day to day workings here at HATS. Joan and I are enjoying our vacation and having fun with the children.

I’ll start the wall painting tomorrow unless…

I should be able to make the job last a week or so…
