Neighborhood Rapist

We were just notified that Jabar Morarend, a convicted rapist, is moving in two blocks away.


Now, I don't believe he is the only sex offender in the neighborhood. A quick search shows he is 1 of six in the zip code. In fact 5 of the six are within 5 blocks. Then there are all those who have not been caught/convicted as adults. I guess the point is that it is always a bit unnerving when you get one of those notifications that your new neighbor is a rapist.

doggie snacks

Kassie's dad Don came over Monday and the three of us spent about eight hours hanging drywall. Don came back today and he and I worked on it a bit more. It's almost finished.

Not that anyone will be surprised to hear it, but our house is all crooked. It made for a lot of extra measuring and trimming. Jeff was pretty sure that all the wood and extra drywall were for him to eat. Hopefully we'll get a really good taper who can work some magic.
