This is the night the kids are finally in the RV and awaiting the closing on their new house. Johnnycakes hasn't moved it properly in place yet so they can get the pullout section fixed in place to give them more room. I imagine he will do that tomorrow before he goes to bed (after he gets home from work). We will probably have the Princess and Gunner here for several hours until Gunner is ready for his nap. The Princess wants to give Johnnycakes enough sleep time so that he isn't going to bed tired. Poor Gunner misses his daddy-time though. At least that is what the Princess tells me but I can believe it. He's very much a daddy's boy although he loves his snuggles with mommy. It's really cute.
I don't think they will be here for too long, however. The Princess thinks they will be closing by the end of the week or Monday at the latest. The best I can hope for (to have the kids closeby for a while) is the 1st of the month. It all depends on the loan company. I gather it's a farm loan and I am really not familiar with that at all since I never dealt with one when I was working in real estate in S. California. Even the avocado ranches had regular loans. They plan on having a few cattle on their acreage but I don't think they have enough to make a living off of them. Who knows? I'm sure no expert.
The Princess got a lot of samples of various colors(?) of flooring. The wood type. She sent for a bunch that were free and the price is right from the place she ordered it from. The Beast is even considering ordering some for the guest room at the same time she orders hers. Even with shipping costs, it ends up cheaper per square foot than we can get locally. And I have to admit, this stuff is really nice. It's even thicker than what we put down in the other rooms in our house.
The Beast is really getting ready for winter. He bought me a new electric blanket that is actually a nicer one than the one we've had for a few years. He got worried about it developing a short from the folding and storing away every spring. He also says he wants to pick me up what they call an *electric throw* that I can use when I am at my computer in the winter. I suffer from the cold, especially my feet (because of the neuropathy from my diabetes). He says this way I can plug it in, wrap it around my feet and lower extremeties and keep warm. He hates that I jack up the heat in my computer room (and run up the electric bill) and I still complain about how cold my feet are. I can deal with that, I think. All we can do is try anyway.
Well, time to get this posted. Love you all and I hope your week has been good thus far. Tomorrow is Hump Day. Say hello to the camel for me if you see him. Be good. Be kind. It costs nothing. ***Hugs***
HINT#1: Cardboard egg cartons are great to use when starting fires(in your fireplace or outside in a pit, of course). Fill them with bits of wood and pieces of paper that would be too small to use on their own, like receipts. You can also fill an egg carton with charcoal and use it to start your barbeque grill.
HINT#2: Place the side of a large cardboard box near your door during snow storms so family members can pile their filthy, slushy boots and winter gear on top while keeping your home clean.
