Spent most of day cleaning the house. Vacuumed and washed second floor. Moved furniture out of downstairs in preparation for opening DOG.
Moved wing chair to breakfast nook for a comfortable place to read while DOG is in operation. Karen liked this as much for not having to hump that chair up the stairs and into our bedroom. Need to find a little table to set next to chair for coffee rest.
