Rob arrives then we measure and buy....

I did laundry yesterday in my fixed washer.  I held my breath, hoping that James had tightened everything to keep the water inside the washer.  (The first time he put it together he missed something and it leaked....)  It was fine, so I got my clothes done and washed up the sheets for Rob's bed.

I started getting ready to head into Philly to the airport.  I had been watching Rob's plane across the country.  Then I had been checking the traffic cams along the route I take.  All day it had been fine.  But just before I headed out I checked again and there was traffic backed up everywhere... an accident on the northbound side of I-95.  So I quickly researched the alternatives, plugged in my GPS and tried a different way.  I got there, but I have no idea where I was... there were traffic lights at every intersection and cars going in every direction.  I am assuming that people were using back roads and clogging them up pretty well.

I still managed to get to the cell phone lot about 15 minutes before his plane landed.  It took a while for him to get his bag, but we finally connected and we headed South on I-95... encountering traffic.  This time I did not care and it kept the speeding maniacs from being hazardous objects on the road.  We ordered a pizza from Pizza Villa and just chatted.  Rob headed to bed early and I was not far behind.

Winston loves Rob.. and thinks he is the center of our attention.  Rob loves to pet him and plays with his toys so Rob is Winston's new, best friend.

Today we spent a lot of time in the basement.  We were measuring for RG6 cable to move the cable into the sewing room so we can watch TV while sewing.  We also planned out additional outlets and two circuits so the sewing machines, irons, TV, microwave and Keurig will not overload the system.  Then we went to Home Depot and did our best to buy everything we need to do the work.  I even bought a small but heavy duty circular saw to work on furring strips, deck steps and other things I may need to repair or build.  Amazingly, I will be learning how to use it so I can DIY projects in the future.

Then we went to dinner with some of my Parkesburg friends.  It is a group of really nice folks who go to dinner at different places every Tuesday.  We went to the Manor Buffet in Lancaster.  It was a marvelous place.  So much food and a wide variety.  Rob got his fill and so did I.  I will go back, for sure.

Tomorrow we start installing cable and extra outlets so I can start loading the room.  Then other projects will be done as well!!!  This is super exciting!  Pictures of our work tomorrow.
