Everything around here seems to be in slow motion. Possibly this means that the spread of the dreaded oil will remain slow. Think that posting every few days until we actually start to depart will be the best plan. There is only so much of our laid back life here in the Panhandle that is worth sharing. Yesterday Billy eagerly waited for the Federal Express truck all day. He was like a kid waiting for Christmas as he said the brackets for hanging his satellite receiver inside the camper were “really going to look nice.” What? A new comforter, a new plant, a properly placed do dad looks nice, but only the male species would think that a satellite receiver looks nice! It finally arrived and he promptly went to work hanging it with love and care under the television in the camper. I think that he is satisfied with his decorating skills.
BP has still not made contact with Billy regarding a final class before Billy can deploy with his boat. I believe that he finally determined that it is useless to attempt to contact BP about the logistics of the next class. Each phone call results in reaching a person on the other end of the line who hasn’t a clue about what is taking place. So, we will just wait. My daughter and her husband are coming for a visit next Wednesday with our two little grandsons, so I think we will have plenty to keep us busy.
Thankfully, our nine ducks seem to be on the road to survival. For a time last week a bobcat was planning on having a duck for dinner every night. The bobcat killed one duck and slightly injured another, but I think the cat has gone to look elsewhere for dinner. Wishing our friends and family a wonderful weekend and hopefully only six more weeks before we depart.
