Stacy got back from Iowa on last Saturday (10/18). It took her about 5 days to get used to our pacific time zone again from Iowa's central time, but she's pretty well back to normal on her sleep time. It is hard getting up at 6 am when it stays dark till almost 8 am! Dark by 5:20 which will be 4:20 in a little over a week! Just 4 months ago, it was light by 3:30 am and staying that way until almost 10 pm!
She had a lot of fun with the grand baby Tyler. We watched all her video on Saturday evening then all over again on Sunday so her father could see it too. This weekend we'll be putting scenes from all the mini-DVD's to a standard DVD, then copy and send them out so all can see how Tyler is progressing at almost three years old.
Stacy with Laura and Tyler did drive up to Missouri to visit with my parents. They didn't get to meet brother Daryl and his wife as they were on vacation. It was a spur of the moment trip anyway since it wasn't known if Laura could get the time off from work, so another time maybe.
The Columbus Holiday weekend while Stacy was gone I decided to tackle a task I'd been wanting done for over 2 years. Underneath the stairway to the TV room and our bedroom was decided to be media storage when we moved up. So all the old VHS, 8mm and digital 8 tapes, CD's, DVD's, just everything was stored in and around that area waiting for that to happen.
So while not entirely dry walled yet at least it's almost done and all the home movie tapes and our music CD's, audio book collection, and the movie DVD collection, are now on shelves and much, much more accessible than digging through boxes or stacks of stuff. I didn't mention it here last post just in case Stacy had taken a look at the blog while she was gone, and I wanted to surprise her. I shouldn't have worried, she was so busy with Tyler she never used her laptop except at the airport!
Not much else going on here. Fall colors everywhere, getting pretty nippy at night, been in the low to mid 20's the last few nights. I drained out all the water from the 5th wheel last weekend. After that first winter when I had to replace a majority of the PVC piping in the 5th wheel, I didn't to have to do that again!
We've been told "it always snows just before Halloween", not so sure it will this year. It did last year, but the long range forecast is mostly sunny and cool to cold, no rain/snow predicted.
Today brother Michael is supposed to be having treatment two of three against his prostate. He'd talked of how treatment one made him so sick for days, so I'm hoping like he is that this time won't be so bad.
Last Saturday, youngest kid Sean had birthday number 25, and on Tuesday was anniversary number one for oldest kid Sandy and Erik.
At work where we spend most of our time it seems, it was a parking spot war last week, and this week it was Monday to Wednesday getting the computers here ready for a state program and the via internet hook up. Oh well, not the same oh, same oh!
