Carpet cleaning

Once again we moved the stuff out of the big room. I'm hoping this will be the last time. I might move stuff around sometime if I ever want to paint the walls again. This time we wanted the rugs shampooed. That's the machine next to the vacuum. We hired Preston, one of the young men at church who has this machine and another, much bigger one to clean carpets. At least we didn't have to move everything, just the traffic patterns. He spent a good part of the day cleaning and I whiled away the day reading since I couldn't do anything else. The most important room to be cleaned was the white one in our bedroom. Who in their right mind would put a white rug in a house where there's so much red dirt outside. It feels so much better.
