Weather Report: 64 Degrees Feels Like 84

On the way to the local, Harrisville megawalmart for cleaning stuff yesterday afternoon, the temp registered 64 degrees and it felt like 84 after winter in PA this year.

The blasting, blasted, terrible, no-good, very bad, Wyoming wind pitted my windshield with the sand (I repeat SAND) they use on highways instead of salt. Bah Humbug! I'll hate driving back through there when I am finished here. Tim says Colorado is just as bad. Ugh.

Praying for positive thoughts here now...

Ah, The Big Prep: 

A busy day focused on cleaning/laundering, and making electronic notes of stuff to remember on my iPhone. Yea! It's in my pocket; I don't have to go find where I left the notebook/pencil. 

There were moments to relax with each family member here and there through the day and catch up a little. Even got a pot of bean soup and cole slaw made for supper. I was totally surprised the beans went over so well. I thought I might have to eat them myself. 

Sat outside a bit late afternoon to watch Elijah and his next-door buddy, Schuyler, mix it up across the street at another youngster's basketball court.

Elijah scores.

Schuyler scores.
Just now waved Elijah off to his school bus a half block up the street. While I stood outside sand hill cranes flew by. Yesterday morning when I let Nandy, the Love's dog, out the back door, a pair of pheasants flew up out of the backyard and disappeared between the houses.

Sonja finds out today whether or not her rental choice passes inspection. Our loosely held plan is to get her and Dimetrios and Elijah moved to their new quarters; then, phase two is finish readying the kitchen and bedroom for Valerie's convalescence while continuing the general moving prep process.

Valerie is able to sort stuff for short spells.

One small chunk at a time.
