Nuther week gone by
Mood:  not sure
Went to go visit Nellie this weekend. She certainly seemed to be upbeat after all that she has been thru. It is not a question of if she will do this or that, it is a question of when. She complains that the therapists are not giving her enough to do and that she has to do stuff on her own to challenger herself. If mental toughness counts for anything she will pull thru this situation.

We stopped at a store on the way back to 75 and got a few things. We found a sign that said "Pop's Garage" that I put overtop the big entrance to the barn.

Joe has helped with the landscaping. I had him drive the tractor to pull up some old bushes. I was a bit nervous about letting him do it, but you can't baby them all their lives. He did fine and was a big help with the landscaping. I joked that at this rate we will have 10 foot X 10 foot square of grass surrounded by an ocean of mulch. Oh, he made a 3 story hamster condo out of lego's with like a little see-thru penthouse on top.

Chelsea wanted to go camping at Hueston Woods for her 18th birthday. I told her if you go, we'll go camping too. Plus there is plenty of space at our place for a campfire and campout where we can keep an eye on things. She still wants to do the tattoo thing. But she may only have money for an outline, then would have to go back and have it colored in. The way she spends money she would have it filled in by the time she's 35.

Vanessa is doing OK. Just wanting to go ahead and have the baby, she says it feels like she has been pregnant forever. Eric got a healthy payraise, so that will help them out. The ice business is heating up. With the Kentucky derby coming up, they are gearing up full production and he is gearing up for 14+ hour days until it is over. They bring in people from other districts to help with the deliveries during the week. Last year Vanessa helped by cooking meals for Eric's deliverymen.

Chad is working on the Honda Civic. As much money and time as what he is putting into it, it had best run on air so that he gets a payback.
