Day 18



 We had to begin our day with a nice hot fire... it was really cold this morning and we always like to practice fire building.  After all, tomorrow is campfire!!!!  After some nice songs (River Nile, Done, Gibberish...) everyone got to werk.  Specifically trying to fulfill the requirements to get deeds for land.  Appraisal day should be tomorrow (it might be Monday- but don't tell anyone!), which means that all of the houses, fences, landscaping, furnishing, surveying, ... other (?) must be complete.  We are SO close!!  By the end of the day all but 3 houses were on the land.  We are nearly as close to finishing up our maps.  I suspect the morning to morrow will be a mad dash to fill these lovely new homes with some fine furnishings.

As it was quite cool and many homesteaders had a lot of work to catch up on, many stayed behind from swimming.  We were very productive.  A glass castle even saw completion!!!

The afternoon brought with it more work and an amazing radio show.  Filled with sing alongs and fill ins by the DJs!  Ask you homesteader to play "You can do it like this" with you!

Today we liked:
  • getting houses finished and on the land!!!!!!!
  • the afternoon radio show
  • finding stuff in bags
  • Forest on the Radio
  • falling down
  • CTF!!!!
  • "Oh, we're mocking them?  I'll start from here." Will
  • You can't do it like this
  • finished swimming pools
  • swimming
  • getting tagged and wiping out
  • winning CTF
  • practicing for campfire
  • the entire day!
  • getting a great map of my property
  • blocking Jesslyn's view today (during CTF)
We wish:
  • for something random
  • for cookies and rainbows
  • it were warmer
  • building houses wasn't SO hard
  • I didn't fall down
  • CTF wasn't SO hard
  • nothing
  • everyone could be in the spirit of the game
  • you could do it like this
  • I didn't sniff so much glue- my nose hurts (glue not provided by village!)
  • I wasn't out in the acre when the radio show was happening
  • to block Owen's view tomorrow
