MONDAY 17 thru WEDNESDAY 19 June 2024 — Grand-daughters, friends, workshop tables
Monday 17 … Supervising grand-daughters in Ann Arbor and meeting a friend
Linda went to Ann Arbor yesterday for three (3) nights to supervise (and entertain) the grand-daughters. She arranged to have brunch with Kathi S. today. Kathi is the mother of childhood friends of our children, and a friend of ours, who now resides in Ann Arbor.
Tuesday 18 … More Ann Arbor & More Garage Doors
Both of the new garage doors are installed and in the open position. Each one has a wireless exterior keypad. The one for the smaller door is visible in the photo.
Linda wrapped up her initial 3-nights of child-supervision and entertainment, mostly for our 5-year-old grand-daughter (Sadie). Our daughter, Meghan, took over from there.
While Sadie was at her day-camp (at Daycroft Montessori), Linda went to Meghan’s house to get detailed instructions on taking care of the cats while Meghan and Chris are away. She returned to Ann Arbor to gather up a few things and did some light grocery shopping (Whole Foods Market) before returning home. Meghan picked Sadie up from camp, and provided her supervision and entertainment until Saturday morning, when Linda relieved her.
Our friend, Kate, texted us today to see if we where available/interested for/in getting together tomorrow evening. We were, but deferred making a decision about where to go until tomorrow morning.
Dan (Everlast Doors) texted to see if he could stop by late afternoon to continue working on the installation of the new garage doors. He arrived around 16:30.
Wednesday 19 … A big delivery; dinner & coffee with Kate
After sharing suggestions back and forth with Kate, we all agreed to go to Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina in Ann Arbor for dinner. They have non-dairy cheese available for their pizzas, so that worked for us.
I recently ordered numerous work table components from Rockler for the workshop in the barn. Many of the items arrived today, but the remaining ones are on back-order, with estimated availability of July 28 (this year). Everything was coming via UPS with a delivery window of noon-16:00. Shortly after noon, the truck pulled in front of the house.; I saw it come in, and dashed outside to ask the driver if he could unload at the barn, as that is where all of the pieces will be assembled and used. He was more than willing to do that. I met him down there and helped move the boxes from the door of the truck into the barn. I did not, however, immediately verify if what I had received matched the shipping notifications I got from Rockler and UPS.
Linda booked our flights (DELTA) for our Thanksgiving trip to Florida to visit with Nancy and Paul.
