Week Over Ready to Move this Weekend

We have been in School for more than a month already. Its hard to believe.

I had to be out of my class a couple of times this week. One whole day for negotiations, one half day for a doctors appt. and and another half day for the jury selection. Its great to get back and break the tension that exists when they have someone else working the class.

The urologist yesterday has referred me to get a ultra sound on my kidneys. He gave me 80 20 odds that nothing is seriously wrong. He said that its the 20 percent that makes this important.

I am hoping that it is not like the weather. 20 percent rain is most likely rain in the valley this time of the year.

Speaking of rain, this week has brought down right cool conditions to the Merced area. We have had a good chance for rain. So far none has fallen in the daylight hours or much at night.

I am glad to see that Acacia is up and back at blogging. She was on her way to UCSD yesterday. Sounds like a great send off party!

It was nice to touch base with Cammie and Dom last weekend. It sounds like Dom and I have similar reading interests... short stories. It was great to hear about the projects in Merced the Cammie has worked on in her new job. I am really happy to hear that they have moved to a really cool place in West Sacto! Way to go.

I called mom and dad on the cell yesterday. After an hour delay in San Jose to fix an auxiliary something or other, their trip worked out okay.

It sounds like Kelly's new boss likes her style.. coffee cup and all. We both had a wonderful cap in Concord at the Pete's last week.

Along with moving some of our stuff to our day house, I hope to get some painting done. I am working on some fly fishing ones. I have two postcards made. One of the fisherman looks more like he is roping steers. Ha!

They have been pounding our house all day with one tool after another. Friday it was the dirt compactor that pounds the sand together for the new foundation. Tony and I looked at the project. To me it looks masive.. Adding 15 feet to the back of our house all the way along is something. It leaves about 18 feet of backyard. Tony thinks that it might be too little for a patio. He will check, but he thinks that the set back from the back fence of the yard has to be 10 feet. That would leave only 8 feet for a patio. The books (sunset) say that you need 10 feet for a table and chairs. I suppose with this new part of the house we will have less need for outdoor space.


Hope you all have a great weekend.

Love
Pat
