Jeanne is here

Jeanne arrived this morning. It is great having
her here for a few days. Talking helps and she
and I have always been good at that.

The cleaners are here today. There are 8 of them
and they will be here again on Monday and Tuesday.
They are cleaning the walls, ceilings, floors and
everything in between including all the books. I
never realized how many books we have until you
think of taking them all down and cleaning them
and the shelves upon which they sit. Also, they
are cleaning everything in the pantry. We left
the window open in the pantry so it smells worse
than the rest of the house.

We've had the air scrubbers going for a couple of
days and that has really helped get rid of the
smell. They are very efficient.

I called the Sheriff and the County Commissioners
today to ask if they could at the very least put
up a sign asking people who are just curious to
stay away for another week. The traffic with
Qwest, Xcel and the cleaners is bad enough. Adding
a dozen or so motorcycles and bicycles plus all the
cars filled with the curious causing more traffic
than I have ever seen up here. It is annoying
to say the least.

We are still hoping for rain. The fire danger
is still extreme and that is scary.
