I slept really well last night, and a little bit later than planned. I organized my car some this morning, but the address signs in front of the new lots, and then drove down to the courthouse in Jasper. That went well and I took a different route back to Monteagle. I went to the bank and Piggly Wiggly, ate lunch at the cottage, then began the journey home. I stopped at trailer dealers in Fayetteville, Lewisburg, and Columbia on the way. I wasn’t too impressed with any of them. I arrived home about three and Luke was still napping, so I made some phone calls and did a bit of work on the computer. After he woke up we did a video chat with my parents. Dinner was nice and then we cleaned up and he had bath and bed time. He went to sleep more easily than I expected given his long nap.
Errands and more.
Liz had an early meeting this morning so I took Luke to speech therapy. He didn’t really engage there for whatever reason. He did come out of his shell once we went to Publix though. After shopping we returned home and I did a few things before driving up to the Mountain. I spent the afternoon making address signs for the next two houses, going by the bank to submit loan stuff for the houses and to wire money for the truck (pictured below), and chilling briefly at the Goat Market. I also used took a bicycle to the thrift store in Tracy City. This evening I have not been using my time very productively, but rather just looking at trailers on my phone.
Buying a truck and other adventures.
This morning I took some stuff to the thrift store in Tracy City, then came to the library to use their internet in order to watch an online auction in Houston. There were several trucks I was interested in, and I bought one. Now I just have to figure out how to get it. I went to the Goat Market to celebrate before going to the cottage to clean and pack. On my way home I stopped by the Kubota dealer to check on the mower (not done) and went by a trailer place near Shelbyville (practically no inventory). It was great to get home and see Luke. We played together for a bit as Liz had a late meeting. He had a lot to say and dinner and didn’t really want to go to bed. Now I am working on my loan applications for the next two houses.
Warm and sunny again.
I didn’t go to bed until 2:20 this morning, so getting up for breakfast was a little rough. After eating we went to Maury County Park on the other side of town. Luke had fun at the playground and interacted well with the other kids. We came home for lunch and then he was supposed to take a nap, but didn’t. I was loading the lawn mower onto the trailer and Liz came out and took him for a short drive. She returned and he was still asleep so we all drove a bit and ended up at Henry Horton. Luke played there a while and then we went to Ace Hardware, which he loved. We returned home and I worked on the computer while Liz and Luke did a video chat with her parents. After dinner Luke had his bath then went to bed. I will chat with Liz for a little after she comes out and then will drive up to Monteagle.
More rain, new adventures.
It was raining this morning and Liz and Luke made breakfast cookies. After breakfast and a little playing we hit the road. Our first stop was Hobby Lobby, Luke’s first visit there. He had a big time and talked us into getting some decorations for his room. Next we went to Lowe’s and picked up something, but now I don’t even remember what it was. our next stop was Office Depot and I stayed in the car. Finally we went to the farmer’s market. We had lunch and both Luke and I failed to nap. The afternoon went by quickly. Luke was a little rowdy at dinner but did well for bath and bed time. Liz is at the store now and I’m looking at trucks online.
