Feeling Scouty

So S., D. & I went out Monday night to see Troop 90, but couldn't find them. Tuesday night we went out to see Troop 111 - They are meeting at the fairgrounds for the summer, were mostly D.'s age - and had cupcakes. Saturday we went out to Rum River Camp (owned by Northern Star, but in Ramsey) - it's 12 miles from here. Troop 90 was there - they went canoeing, and were camping out with a court of honor tonight. I left the guys there and will go back this evening to pick them up - they may want to stay overnight.

Sorry - I know I've been busy

So we're in the new house. The Ct. house is empty, and I lowered the price again. Open house next weekend I think. I'll post in the next couple of days summerizing the move and arrival.

Happy Birthday to my brother Kevin (8/18) - D.'s friend Bubba (8/19), my friends Walt (8/18) and RickT (8/23).

Bye for now.

At Bunga's

Picked up S. and D. at Workcoeman today - then went over to the house, to say goodbye. It was sad for S., the rest of the guys were more ambivalent. Had lunch with the in-laws and then went over to their house for a while, was hard watching C. say goodbye.

We are at Bunga and Umpa's house - had Stew (mmmm) and the guys are running around. Tomorrow morning C. will go get the cat and we will head for the airport to touch off at 12:05.

Next week - Sunday PM, deliver cat to new house, Monday the truck with our stuff arrives and Cindy's Truck shows up Thursday-ish.

Empty

The house in Torrington is empty - The truck pulled away yesterday around 3:30, so I took a shower and ran up to camp. The guys were disappointed I didn't make water polo. I brought up N. and told them we weren't staying over - as the truck trucker was coming at 7:30 am, and then a contractor to the old house at 9. Oh well, it was real nice to sit with some of the scouts, and my boys. So I'm off to clean the house today.

Schedule - near term

Boxers - Monday & Tuesday
Truck - Wednesday
S & D out of Camp Saturday

Plane to our new home Sunday Noon.

Otherwise we're flexible...

New Home

Great News - We closed on the Elk River House yesterday. I went up and wandered around for a few minutes, and then flew home to Ct. one more time. Today we actually had someone come over for a showing! The only one so far, working my butt off cleaning up this morning, slipped out at noon, and they were done before we reached Mcd's . Looked at all work Umpa's has done, wow...

Tomorrow we drop off S. and D. at Workcoeman.
