Very busy day on Tuesday! I had an early haircut appointment so dropped Phil off at the house to continue his work marking and sorting the growing pile of tools. After my cut, on the way back to the house I stopped and picked up my beautiful quilt from the cleaners. The seamstress hemmed it all the way around for me so that it might fit our queen size bed a little better but I haven't tried it yet to see if it worked. When I arrived back at the house, daughter, Violet and her husband, Fred were there to pick up a few family mementos she wanted. The little house they sold was closing that afternoon so they could also buy a few items they needed since they moved from 700 square feet into 1500 square feet. When they left, Phil made a speed run to take care of some banking business and pick up some chicken at the Colonels ... which got cold ... because just as we were ready to eat, two men from the prosecutor's office came by to interview us (again!) and give us copies of our taped statements (Obviously, they want to make sure we remember what we said.) taken by the arresting officer. They also told us the trial begins on Monday the 27th of September and should be finished by Tuesday. Since we are only five minutes from the courthouse, we will be able to be "on call" to testify rather than have to sit outside the courtroom for two days. Then, after eating our cold and very late lunch, our hairdresser, Mindy stopped by on her way home to pick up some lumber we had for sale and just after she left the phone rang and it was Gloria and Les asking us to join them at Denny's. Well, we certainly weren't hungry but if possible, we never pass up a chance to spend time with our dear friends (Les cooked a luscious salmon dinner for us the night before!) so we had coffee and dessert while they ate dinner. Then, since we hadn't accomplished much in the way of working on the garage sale all day ... we went back to the house and worked until 8 PM. ** Very nice, rain-free day Tuesday but it's pouring down rain again at this moment with more "showers" in the forecast. Gray and gloomy outside. ** After resisting the urge for a week and trying to stay warm with our little inadequate electric heater, we gave up and turned on the furnace in the motorhome after piling on the afghans and shivering from the cold all night the night before. Except for the problems caused from drinking coffee so late in the day (it was hard to get to sleep), we both slept a lot better with a little warmth in the rig. Like everything else in this motorhome, the furnace works perfectly ;-)! ** Phil is taking his cousin, Randy's brother, Vance to the airport at Sea Tac for his flight home to Utah this morning. Vance rode home with Randy to keep him company and "be there" in case Randy started having serious problems again. Fortunately, he didn't and has felt good enough to take his brother fishing a couple times in his new boat. He is going in for his preop today with another surgery scheduled for Friday. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this time, they can finish what they started last month.
