We picked up Ty and Sonny around 3 pm and were home by 7. He had a great trip and was glad to be home. Jag called last night and said his trip was a nightmare! I guess the crew was horrible and he said the one guy who was a deck hand hadn’t showered in weeks. I don’t think anyone had much fun. We’ll learn more tonight at 6 when we pick him up. I guess we’re driving Zach and Ethan home too.
We stopped by the cabinet maker and everything looks good except the laundry room. The melamine which is the veneer like product that goes on the wood is the wrong color. They used what Lori picked out but now it looks like it has a tint of pink to it. It’s so hard to pick colors when your looking at a 2 inch by 2 inch piece of wood rather than a 4 X 8 foot sheet! I said let’s suck up the $600 and change it yesterday but she then said leave it. This morning though it’s still bugging her so we need to change it as if not, it’ll keep bugging her. We also need to pick out some light fixtures today.
I think we’ll take the truck down today as the three boys all have long legs. We have new neighbors in Nancy’s place next to us. We haven’t met them but that’s ok as we’re out of here in about 8 weeks. It’s coming up fast now.
I’m stopping at R.E.I. and buying some dehydrated camping food as we have a huge dividend from all the gear we had to buy last year for the kids trips. All credible news outlets and agencies are now saying get ready for the virus to take hold here in America. Executive Orders have been signed by the President giving the DOD (Dept. of Defense) powers to spend and prepare for a pandemic here in the U.S. Other govt. agencies like DHS (Homeland Security) have been granted money and been instructed to get ready also. Like I said a few weeks ago, watch what they do, not what they say! That’s all I can say. We told both boys to wipe down all surfaces on the plane and assume everyone is sick. Hopefully it’s still not spread very much with the boys traveling home but none of us know and won’t for at least a few more weeks. Anyone of us or anyone anywhere could have it and not know. So try to stay healthy and again, get yourself a little extra food if you can. I’ll stop now as if you haven’t heard me by now, you probably never will.
We’re showering and headed to Denver. make it a great day and God Bless.
