Day 1

Well, first things first. Connie made cookies. This is very important. And they are DELICIOUS.

Also important, Grandfather Roth came in last night on the plane. The patriarch is here to do the noble job of fixing the burnt duck hutch. Here's some pictures of him at work, courtesy of Connie.

Connie did her share of work today. Besides vacuuming the house and various other tasks, she took all the strawberry plants out of the hutch and made a fence out of them for the asparagus.
