Yesterday, Thursday, the first dome school was inflated. It really looks good! It is located just barely north of the Wichita County High School gym. Go by and take a look at it!

City of Leoti Website (NEW)
The Leoti City Council has decided that it is time to start their own website. I am very proud to say that Council Woman, Lori Elder-Christensen, my younger sister, is currently getting it set up!
Please go to http://leotikansas.org/ to check it out!
Earlier this week, test results showed an unhealthy increase in nitrates in our local water. Parents with small children were advised NOT to let their children drink our water. Today, it was discovered that a mistake was made in the compilation of the nitrates. Now, the City has been told that the nitrates are well within allowable SAFE limits. Our water can be drunk by young and old alike.
The City apologizes for any problems that this may have caused anyone.

A cute observation
The census workers are now at work in the Leoti area. Today, we saw something that really gave us a good ol'chuckle!
We live across the street from a small trailer park in town. A year or so ago, one of the mobile homes was moved about a block away.
Today, while we were watching WHEEL OF FORTUNE, Stan and Leighlyn watched a stranger walk up to the abandoned tool storage building just behind where the mobile home once stood. The man knocked on the door. When no one answered the door, he tacked census paperwork to the one and only door. He then walked across the street to our house to give us paperwork to fill out.
The man asked Stan how many people live in the "house" across the street. Stan couldn't help but laugh a little when he told the man that the building is only for storage of such things as lawn mowers.
The man was embarrassed, walked back across the street and retrieved the paperwork from the door.
Too cute not to pass along...

MAJOR beautification project on Leoti's Main Street!
Over the past couple of years, business owners on Main and Broadway in Leoti have really gone all out to make their businesses look fresh and interesting again! It is all so well-appreciated!
Today, I was leaving Dollar General when I found a few men standing out in front of the store looking off to the north. Of course, being the snoopy wonder who I am, I had to take my own glance! I discovered that a local popular contractor was working on the large quonset building that belongs to John and Liz Griem-Gould. John purchased it a few years ago and uses it for storage of his seed that he sells. The contractor was pulling out the old windows and later, started covering the entire building with new materials. I cannot believe how quickly the project is moving along! (Wish our kitchen project was moving so quickly!!!)
Anyway, take a swing by the new and MUCH improved building. You'll be very impressed!!! And, please remember to say thank you to John and Liz and all of the other business owners who have spent mounds of money to make Leoti look like a much better and prettier place to live!!! Because of their efforts and the new school expansions, I personally believe that Leoti will have more people moving into our little town...

Quick explanation on my whereabouts...
In case you have been checking in here and haven't seen anything new for a few days, here's my explanation.
I am no longer sick with that horrible flu from last week. I am having some pretty bad times with my asthma but I am sure that that will pass soon.
I started another of my homemaking projects on Monday. Between that, being a mommy, working for the credit bureau yesterday and tomorrow and my daily cleaning at two seperate office buildings, I have had VERY little time to be online at all.
I would love to say that our kitchen project is about finished but I cannot. My Tuscan treatment on our cabinets is extremely slow-going. Tonight, Stan was able to hang three of the upper cabinet doors and install their "jewelry"--some new and very pretty doorhandles. Unfortunately, I can't even say that those doors are finished. Once I have finished the other doors which haven't even been started yet, I will have to come back and put the finish coats of polyurethane on them. My mom came over to see my work this afternoon. I was so uplifted as soon as I saw her eyes light up when she saw my work! (Not all of my creations turn out so well. LOL!) Her enthusiasm gave me the will and energy to continue onwards.
Out of 12 cabinet doors, 5 are complete except for hanging and the final coatings of the sealer. The other 7 doors are yet to be touched. The cabinets that they cover also need to be dealt with. Sometimes, I really wish that I had an assistant. LOL! However, this particular treatment can only be done by the same person. Because of the technique, each person has his/her own way. Therefore, the results would look different.
I am trying to finish them this week because Stan is planning on laying the new ceramic tile on the countertops this weekend. His MAIN goal is to get to plumb in our new gooseneck water faucet. He cannot do that until the countertops are finished. He can just hardly wait to do that! Ours has a head that pulls out of the main support system so that it can be used to spray the sink, veggies and fruits, plants, etc. The sprayer even has a high and low pressure setting. MAYBE, the projects will be finished this weekend. I'll let you know!
Anyway, my information may be abit slow for the next few days. Please be patient with me. I will be back with bells on my toes!
