I decided that I needed to spend some time with my parents and then see 4 of my grandchildren. It's been since a few months since I've seen the 4 that are in Oregon and also my daughter Pamela and her husband Jon.
So I headed off on a Friday afternoon, after a day of work and reached the Tri-Cities about 9:00PM. We visited for a while and caught up on some TV shows, then headed off to bed. It was really nice to be in a cool room to sleep and have the basement pretty much to myself.
The next day was a very exciting, I helped my mother blow out the underground sprinkler lines. It was a good thing that I somewhat watched Arvil the week before. But within 45 min. to an hour, all zones were dry. That was quite a learning experience. We then decided to go pick up my sister Carol and hit the town. She had been waiting for a carpet man to come and give her some quotes and advice. By the time we picked her up, the man had came and went and she decided to lay vinyl flooring in her kitchen, entry way and washroom, but wasn't sure how the floor under her carpet looked, so she left instructions for Evan, her husband to tear up a corner of the carpet to see. By the time we returned with all our goods we found, Evan had tore out all the carpet in the area that would have flooring. But it looked like a lot of work was ahead for him to get all the glue and rough edges sanded down. We decided to go out that night to Tony Rama's and had a wonderful meal, thanks to dad's gift card. Sunday was church and a get together by Carol/Evan's family, Craig/Bonnie's family, Pamela and the children and mom and dad. Goodies were enjoyed by all. Monday Mom, Dad and I all went shopping again and by the end of Monday night, Evan decided to replace all the sub flooring and lay down new wood before the vinyl would be laid. So we all jumped in the car and headed off for Home Depot to buy what Carol/Evan needed for the floor. With living in Montana, it can give you perks every now and then, (such as NO TAX). Tuesday, Mom and I hung Christmas lights around her house and out on the pine tree. A job that we wanted to get done while the weather was right. It should look pretty good, it a wind doesn't come up and blow them down. Then I was off to Oregon to meet up with Pamela, Jon and the kiddos. And the fun really began...to be continued

"Look mom it's Ramma and there's Prampa!" That's what Jacob said after each picture of you and dad. Then whenever he saw a picture of Courtney it was "Ethan!" and then it turned into "Corkey!" The pictures are cute and it's nice to be able to actually see them instead of giving up half-way through the loading process.
"Corkey"...that's a new one! Cute! I'm sure she'll be excited to here all the names her sister and cousins have given her when she's older.
