Finally

The new roofer showed up Wednesday, a day ahead of schedule.  Although it is costing me more than the original, the continued contact keeping me up to date on their arrival gives me a sense of satisfaction.  That will hopefully relate to a job well done.  The care they have shown I would assume will translate into a quality product.

We should hear sometime today when my cousins funeral is.  Kim had an opportunity to work a gun show that may have to be cancelled.  Fortunately it is not a one time thing.  They do it quarterly.  I first questioned why she would do a gun show.  How does her craft etc. even seem relevant?  The gun show owners approached her after seeing her in action at the resort.  It seems a lot of folks bring their kids to the gun show.  They have several other vendors that will provide a craft/service that keeps the kids busy while Dad drools over guns.  They didn't have anyone with what she does and thought she would be a great asset.  She may have to postpone them until the next quarterly gun show due to the timing of the funeral.

Working on some new wallets.  Kim sold out of the ones I made last month.  This time I unwittingly bought an entire kit instead of just the inserts.  They were the same price.  That actually makes it go quicker and easier on putting them together.  Maybe exposure at the gun show will be good for that.  Also the local rodeo is a big deal here and having a few extra leather goods is always good for that crowd at the resort.

Mom and Dad are still adjusting to life in their facility.  They still haven't taken full advantage of the amenities they have.  They actually have forgotten they have a nurse on campus that could help them with the things she would normally wait to long for.  Plus they have a 'country store' that has a lot of items available that relieves need to travel to the grocers.  They will even get items for you they don't have if you let them know.  They are still dealing with getting all the things they usually use/go to on the other side of town where they are familiar with, moved over to this side.  That may take a while to get comfortable, or maybe won't ever.  We try to help as much as they will let us.
