Week in review

Sometimes when your loved one is feeling under the weather you forget all the little things that they do all week long to keep your home moving along the right track. But when it strikes the whole family all at once you see the unraveling happen quite a bit faster.

With the weather playing all the tricks that spring can pull, both Sam and I caught a cold. Everything that we thought we 'had' to do this week just got put on the back burner. While we both got in a full week of work (and Sam his little extra) we both broke down on Sunday and took the day to relax and enjoy the rays of sunlight creeping threw the blinds.

As you can see, the buggy didn't get a whole lot done. The parts that we needed to put the old gal back together are getting harder and harder to come by. An afternoon spent calling around you soon find that we live in quite a geological oddity...we seem to be about 5 days from anywhere that can get us parts.

Even Steele and Marilyn came by to help us wish the thing back together. A ingenious idea that seldom works around here.

On a good note thought...with Easter creeping up on us next week, Sam finished up his qualifications for his new gun to carry on duty at the sand dune.

As terrifying as it is to think of the other guys that finished up this training as well, I will feel much safer knowing that Sam will be prepared for anything crazy that could happen while he is on duty.
