Recovery day.

This morning Luke and I went up to Franklin for his speech therapy at High Hopes. He slept most of the way up there. Things didn’t start off to well – he cried a lot when Miss Sarah took us to her room. But he calmed down and started having fun. He pretty much talked the whole drive home. We read and played with Legos until lunch time. He ate a decent amount, then went down for a nap. So did I. Mine lasted about two hours, while his was nearly four and a half. Liz was finished with work by the time he woke up, so we all went to the nature park. We brought along his bus and he loved riding it on the newly paved path. The temperature was a bit warmer than expected. Luke had a good dinner and bedtime, and now we are just relaxing. Hopefully it will be an early night to bed.

Reunited.

Well, it was quite a day. I had trouble sleeping last night and got out of bed a lot earlier than usual. After kind of cleaning up my car I drove up to my parents’ house. I visited with them for a few minutes and then borrowed my mother’s car to go get Liz and Luke. Instead of heading straight up I-65 I took I-24 to Hopkinsville, then a Kentucky parkway, then I-69 to Indianapolis. We were due to meet south of the city, but Liz was running late. Shocking. So I drove up to Kokomo and waited for them in the parking lot of a farming museum. They finally arrived and we were able to get everything transferred pretty quickly. The drive home was long but uneventful. We stopped at a rest area so Luke could eat. He loved seeing all the semi trucks there. Same when we stopped for gas, he just loves pointing at them. We finally arrived home at about ten. I was exhausted. Luke was happy to see the moon out. He turned 28 months old today.

Long day on the road.

We got up mighty early this morning and spent a while preparing to leave. Then we finally hit the road around seven. The drive was pretty uneventful. Luke loved seeing all of the semi trucks. We made good time and arrived at the meeting point with Liz’s dad and brother before they did. It didn’t take long to transfer everything. We said our goodbyes and I drove back home. That was uneventful as well, although I did stop at Meijer in Bowling Green.

Short time on the Mountain.

This morning after breakfast i drove to Shelbyville, but the cabinet shop was closed. So I continued on to the Manchester Home Depot, got what I needed, then headed up the Mountain. I stopped at the house and chatted with the plumber’s new helper for a few minutes. Him and another guy were digging the electrical line. I went by the new property and took a picture, then got it and several others printed at CVS. By that time the Goat Market was open, so I went there for an early lunch. I started filling out some forms for the bank, then went to the cottage and finished them. My last stop was the bank, where I gave them all of the required information for a loan to construct the next house. They felt like it won’t be a problem for me to get a loan. I drove home after that and played with Luke a bit. Tomorrow I am driving Liz and Luke to Indianapolis, where we will meet her parents and they will go to Michigan for two or three weeks.
