It feels a bit surreal to be back in Monteagle. This morning I loaded my car, jumped it off, since the battery was dead, and greeted my parents who came down to look after Luke today. Then I drove to Lowe’s in Shelbyville where I picked up the rest of my bathtub tiles and a couple of other things. Next stop was the lumberyard in Winchester where I picked up my replacement window sashes. I took everything to the house and got it all unloaded before the rain started. Then I got an oil change, bought some food at Piggly Wiggly, and took a nap. After my nap I got a call from my neighbor in Columbia, Jerry, saying that he and his wife were in town and asking if I wanted to go out to dinner. We met at the Goat Market and were able to order and be seated before lots of people arrived. After leaving them I just came back to the cottage and worked on materials lists for the next house.

Luke had speech therapy this morning, then my parents came down for a visit. He had a wonderful time reading, playing with Legos, and showing off his toys. After lunch and a nap we went to the nature park. The weather was great – cloudy and breezy so it wasn’t too hot. Rain is supposed to be rolling in. Luke saw the backhoe again but it was in a different spot. We came home and said goodbye to my parents. Then it was dinner time. He was rather poorly behaved for that. He had a bath and didn’t want to go to bed.
