Monday

 Monday was a busy day for Garry, apparently the septic system at our house quit working the day before he arrived, and Monday morning they discovered they needed to dig a new one. 

Around 2 pm the rain started, Garry said it's been dry this spring, so rain is good. Not sure when he'll be able to shower at home. I guess they are using the outhouse. 

Update- I had forgotten the summer kitchen has a separate septic system, they are showering and using the toilet out there! Garry said the girls had trouble opening the door, so the brick is holding it closed, like in the old days.

As you can see lots of help digging.

Garry says it was quite hot, so he let one of the students cut his hair, instead of going into the city. I'm a little disappointed in the look, but he says he doesn't look at it. He sent some photos from Julia's 29th birthday party that took place Monday evening. As you can see, she prepared a feast. 

Here he is with the birthday girl.
