Mmmmm

This time of the year is possibly one of my favorites, the mornings are cool and calm shadows on the mountains and hills. If you are downtown the birds are singing and chirping and squirrels are scrambling -- oh man I sound like a Disney scene. This morning I sat on a bench and watched people walk/rush by on their way to work or whatnot. Drank a large glass of sweet tea and talked to some old gents across from me about taxes, the high price of gas and the war – just blew out of the Disney scene.
Last night I may have overwhelmed Jacks a little with the announcement that he has 5 condo plans to choose from, his PO Box address will be sent to him and he had mail from his new school. He seems to be pretty stable with a huge class load and events after that keep him preoccupied from being homesick or friendless.
Trace and I would like to run up for a visit this weekend but that’s not really advisable at the moment, he really needs to acclimate himself to the area without being dependant on someone else (family) being with him.
I caught Lori looking in his room the other day, I’m thinking she’s making plans to move from the 1st floor to his on the 3rd. It might not be a bad idea, besides she’s scoped out Luke’s room for years and I don’t really feel like sharing a bathroom with her.
Mom is somber; she and Pops have not resolved their problems with his temper and attitude around the house. I feel guilty, as if I had some invisible hand in their arguments and would do anything to resolve them.
PG has been the man of the hour/week, talking to his realtor buddies and getting the latest and greatest info out for us. He amazes me with his charm to them; how he can get anything he needs in a proper amount of time. He worries that his slow speech and backwards wordings will confuse them but he gets his point across plainly.
Amy and I have managed to talk just about every day at lunch, pure heaven for me to hear her giggle and not freak over problems either home or here. She’s still is working both jobs and millions of hours but if that makes her happy….
