Our rain and gloom are gone and today starts a streak of 75-80 for us. Our family room floor is done and beautiful. We love it. Our boys go to run across it and keep sliding around! lol! Today they are going to do the entryway and bathroom floor. Next Monday will bring bedroom carpet and rock for the hearth. This weekend we will dismantle our king bed, rip up the last of the carpet, and take all the clothes from our closet. Then go shopping for a new toilet and laundry sink. The end is in sight!
Bill spent the day in Seattle with Uncle Ernie. Ernie is out of it, majorly confused, and doesn't seem to be getting better. Because of this the rehab places he can go to are very limited. They've only found one so far that his insurance will cover - it's about 30 miles north of us. Closer than he is now, at least. Bill went to his house yesterday, cleaned the fridge, took some pictures, talked to neighbors. It's becoming pretty obvious that Ernie won't be going home - at least not for a long time.
I spent much of my day working on a document encapsulating the major Vicki events pulled from the journal I've kept for the past 4 years. When he gets time, Bill will gather up photos and videos and put them on a thumb drive. Slowly lining up our ducks . . Still no word from her kids on an exterminator, but I do know the rats aren't here yet. Our workers left brownies on a plate in our garage. I found them yesterday, un-nibbled. If we had rats they would have been all over those brownies!
TINA - nice to have a supper out, just you and Frankie. Happy pond cleaning. I remember the last time you did that. Has it already been 5 years?? And you have grand-turtles! DGTs! How cool is that! Those are big frogs you have. Our friend, Tex, would eat them! Double ick!
JANA - It sounds like the truck accident is the biggest incident Aaron has encountered so far and by far. I'm sure they are hitting the driver with assault on a police officer, which is a big deal. My words to USP is "Sic 'em!" and yes, you deserved a night out for supper, too!
CHICKIE - You must be meeting yourself coming and going on that road! Whatever did everyone do when you were still living in MO. Who took care of them all - and their furbabies?! If you are happy with your rain then I'm happy for you. I sure enjoyed our rainy 1-1/2 days of it here. I'm almost looking forward to winter!
IRISH - I hope you and Scout found something fun to do yesterday. Though from what you said, he seemed content with his nap. lol! Oh, I would want a picture of your Kevin babysitting, too, if I were you! How is sis doing? Has she gotten out of the house yet? Our friend, Susie, was at the ocean, camping, 2 weeks after her hip replacement. And a wave came and knocked her down! No damage done, but she did stay off the beach after that.
BECCA - what's the word on the babies today? They are almost 3 weeks old. What little champions they are! Looks like NC is getting some stormy weather. We always watch the national weather map because so many of our forum members, and now my DD, are on the Eastern Seaboard.
Supper - I'm not sure. Either burgers on the grill or something in the crockpot. Maybe pork chops with rice and salad . . Mr. B will have some input as soon as he "comes on shift", aka, wakes up.
I bet that's a lot of organizing and writing to get all the things Vicki had done over the past 4 years.
