I have had two sleigh rides this week, the first for me have felt very tired since but keep of pretty well considering the fuss we are in, are geting nearly ready now for one new tenant [Dds] helped us yesterday and Caroline was here in the afternoon helping. They cleared the study for a bed room leaving only the large book shelf.
