We worked on the house, cleaned things up and got ready for our yard sale. We put new carpet on the front steps, layed ceramic tile on the front porch, finished some painting inside and did some repairs that have been waiting for us to find time to complete them. Larry built our new trailer that we'll use to haul thing around. We also took a day trip to pick up some bikes and an aquarium in Southeastern Pennsylvania. |

Vacation to visit Jen's family in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. We took the Insight and stopped at the Moonshine Store on the way out.
We went to the St. Louis Arch while we were in Missouri.
On the way back we stopped at Fish Collectors in Louisville, Kentucky where we bought a breeding pair of greenface brichardi and about 30 of their fry from a few broods (They have since had another brood of 8). We also bought 11 juvenile brichardi from 3 varieties and a trio of 6" 7–stripe brichardi. What a great fish place!
