THINGS ARE BECOMING A LITTLE HECTIC...
Yesterday, it was Grammie Day with Tom and Jordan...but Emily, Ean and my un-named grandson soon to born, got just as spoiled.
We went to a restaurant I've been wanting to try out for a year in Lincoln City...(it was good)...then to the Outlet Stores where Jordan and Tom got some school clothes...but most of my time was spent getting the cutest things for the "wee ones"...then, we went to the show. Not too shabby for a Gramma Day, methinks.
Today, we drove two hours to Salem to take the 'ancient one' (aunt Faye) to visit with her sister Opal while we get a lot of the furniture out of our current residence so we can get it ready to put on the market...get this house spic and span...and most of the small stuff packed and ready to go to the new Log Home.
Allen has been working on moving the shop for a few weeks and closing in three sides of it, and he did all the sealing, conditioning and clear coating of the interior wood (24 ft. high ceilings and all...) and completed almost all of the Log home yesterday, while me and the Grandkids had 'fun'.
Tomorrow, it is drive two hours to Eugene to order tile and cabinets... a jacuzzi tub and fans and fixtures...plus whatever else is on the list... so when the remodeling gets to the point when we need these things...they will be delivered by the time we need them. Then to the 'train station' to get some of the money back we spent for Tom's round trip train ride...and then to the airport by 6 pm (his flight is at 8 pm) to sadly see him off for a little season as he returns to the fam, work and school and a full schedule of actvity in his senior year.
Then Monday, it's working on both the old house and the new house...and eventually, both will be complete...and the old house will be sold. On Tuesday, our commercial building in Visalia will be closing escrow...(thank you God...and Jim and Lindsay)...so even though we are running a little behind on our planned relocation...we are still in "process" and coming along pretty nicely considering these are extra curricular activities that fit in somewhere between running a business, working on some loans...and the usual responsibilities involved in running a home (or two)...or three with the vacation rental....so it's another 'Adventure' for Papa and I...in our anything but 'normal' world....cause we are two wild and crazy guys...(ok...I'm a girl, so don't sweat the small stuff ok?).
Plus...in a few days, our youngest son, Joey and his older sister Karen will be arriving for a long overdue visit...so we want to make sure they have fun, and that we have time to visit...and we still have to manage to get as much accomplished as we can on both homes...since the cost per day is pretty stiff on both of them together.
Like I said from the beginning, we'd rather 'burn out' than 'rust out'...and it appears that is exactly what is happening now. So...later alligators...and after while crocodile!
It's all good though... just in case this sounds like complaining...it isn't. We excited about it all!

Have fun, I am glad that is not my itinerary, eventhough mine is not that much better.
Ha Ha...I know that yours is almost as bad as mine now...and when the little one comes next month, having two babies 18 months apart...would overwhelm me beyond what "I could bear" I'm afraid.
So, I am hoping you can get in a little 'relaxation' here and there NOW...as the term 'sleep and rest' are soon to become a fond memory of the not so distant past.
So let me apologize for teaching and training you to keep five or six balls in the air at all times...just like your mother.
You'll never 'rust out' either!
do YOU miss ME yet
OF COURSE I miss you Tom...each morning when I wake up...the only person who is going to go down the two flights of stairs to get me coffee is ME...for starters...
Then, the house is very 'quiet' as Allen is gone early and home late...and without YOU..it is 'very, very quiet' cause I have no one to talk to.
...so DO I MISS YOU? YOU BET I DO!
Grammie
That photographer was the Fabulous Genn...of course!
Are you blogging yet? Went to your location and didn't see anything.
We'll see you soon girlfriend!
