week 33
Another sad weekend here... We moved Benji and Peyton's stuff out of their house and into a U-Haul truck for them to drive down to Clinton. Unfortunatly they had to move it all into a storage building until they can actually get into the house in 2 weeks. :(
We did have a nice lunch of pizza delivery and cold beer sitting in the middle of their big empty living room when we got done. And they came out for supper that evening. Raven and Karen were there helping out and it was nice to see them again. Since they cut back on their SCAing we don't see too much of them anymore.
Since then B&P have kinda had a hard time of it. They were supposed to close on the house in Starkville on Wednesday. But when they dropped off a trailer at our house Wednesday night, the woman who is supposed to be buying their house hadn't gotten everything done and so they were having to postpone the closing to "maybe" Friday. So Peyton was starting to try to figure out how to afford their house in Clinton if the sale of this one falls through.
They canceled out quilt day for this coming Saturday :( And I was really looking forward to it. So now we are planning on just going over to Lake Lurleen in AL for the weekend. Camping out and taking the canoe to see if Moe can find his "sea-legs" before next weekend.
Reading: Still working on the Protector's War (it seems slower than the first one was, but it is a big book in my defense) I also got the Dog Listener out of the library and read that (all about pack leadership and such) and sped through The Secret Life of Bees on Mrs. C's recommendation. (Plus someone put in a request for it on PBS from me... so I went ahead and read it before shipping it out)
Mom and Dad should be coming in on Sunday for our class on Monday and Tuesday. I hope that this class is going to be useful to me in getting some of these quilts tops knocked out and finished into real quilts.
Moe is still settling in ... he is finding things occasionally to chew on, but he gives them back pretty readily. We are doing pretty well on the daily walks, even if we have to wait until late due to the heat (It's been over 100 for the last 2 weeks), and he usually sits and downs when I ask him to. I still think he is going to be a very good dog for us.
