Day 23 - A Crate and A Turtle

Today was a CRAZY windy day.  There was a literal hum from the wind whipping past the windows. We found out today that the glass that will be installed in the master bathroom will be delivered today in a crate on a pallet.  It wasn't scheduled to arrive until next week when Scott would be here to uncrate and move it.  Because I wasn't able to do it alone, we didn't have many options... so I went downstairs to ask the building manager for an exception.  They are willing to store the crate in the fire pump room until Scott arrives.  Phew!

But this means, we have to stay close to home until the shipment arrives.  So we worked on school work and took a walk on the beach.  I asked the kids where they saw God as we walked the beach.  It was a great activity and we really enjoyed hearing each others answers.

We decided to eat lunch at the hotel and brought some card games to help pass the time.  The walk over was pretty cold... and really windy!

The shipment arrived just before 3:00 pm, just like the kids and I prayed it would.  See, the maintenance man was leaving at 3:00 pm and although he was willing to store the item, we wouldn't have anyone there to help us.  As soon as I got the call, we ran downstairs and both Dave and Keith agreed to help me get it in storage.  So we went down to the loading dock and chatted while we waited for the semi to arrive.  Thirty minutes later, the crate was tucked away, I had offered MANY thank yous and was heading back up to the condo.

We had a few errands to run so we loaded up the truck and headed south into town.  Eventually we ended up at the Aquarium and enjoyed a quick but really good visit.


We even saw the sea turtle who doesn't always make an appearance!




Then we ran to get Tyler a hair cut, take out from Jimmyz and headed back home.  When we arrived, Kay mentioned some packages and I only then realized one of them was a 10' rug... Hehe.  

So we ran upstairs, ate our dinner and then worked to lift furniture, pull carpet, and rearrange the room to get the rug in place.  Looks great!

We spent some time FaceTiming with Scott and then headed to bed.  Luckily I remembered just in time that it was Sammy's turn to have a sleepover in my room, so she climbed in and snuggled close.  Good night!
