Babies

Grandbabies.
What could be finer?

More grandbabies.

Another on the way.

The fourth of July.

Taylor, Tony, and Teigan expect a baby brother or sister.

I can’t send a picture just yet.

We’re all excited.

Work

I love those maps you stick pins in so you can see all the places you’ve been, or all the stores you’ve sold to. I need a map for the alphabet. I was just looking through our client list, and we have at least one client for every letter except four: O, V, X, and Z.

Motorhomes

Shamu left the driveway today. The excited new owners brought us some more money, and a check for the balance. When the check clears, they get the title.
They’re planning an immediate trip to Pennsylvania. Next weekend.

Things are simpler here now. Only three vehicles, and they are all 2002 vintage. Less miles on all of them combined, than on Shamu.

Less stuff.

Tricks

Saw the greatest trick wheels on a truck. Pickup truck. He rolled up to the intersection, wheel covers rotating and flashing in the sun. He stopped. The wheel covers kept rotating. That was startling.

Decorations

Well, finally it got back above freezing. No more ice.
No decorating duty today, though. It’s still cold and cloudy and drippy with temperatures in the thirties.

Lots of thought about Christmas trains, though. I think one more locomotive would make for a really really cool layout. Three trains going all directions. Yeah. That’s it. Three trains.
