At least the sun is out this morning. Actually, the rain yesterday was welcome in that it watered the plants thoroughly. We've been concerned about the plants at the Modesto house and at least we know they got a good watering.
Yesterday started out as a lazy day, but then when we got going, it picked up momentum. We did some house cleaning, did most of the laundry and some ironing - yes, real honest to goodness ironing! After that we planted some petunias in a planter box we brought from Modesto and then, we planted the herb kit that Mike and Bev gave us at Christmas. It's very cute - four 2" terra cotta pots. The kit came with 6 packages of seeds, so we had to select 4. Since we already have basil and chives growing, we planted sweet marjoram, dill, cilantro, and parsley. We tented the pots with plastic bags to create a greenhouse effect so the seeds should sprout in less than a week. The dill seeds were quite aromatic. It will be interesting to see if the plant is also aromatic and if it drives Bustopher crazy. We already know how he was with the roses.
I spoke with Jessica yesterday. They spent her birthday in Montreal with another couple and had a terrific time. They've been fortunate in that they have not been troubled by the flooding that has plagued the New England area these past days. She got a tennis racket for her birthday and plans to play in the lady's neighborhood round robin that's coming up soon.
Jeremy broke his arm. Jessica and David have a Tarzan swing on one of the huge trees in their front yard. Jeremy decided to do a one armed swing, fell off on the other arm and it broke. He's now sporting a glow in the dark cast from the wrist to the elbow.
They're still negotiating on the Santa Cruz job and are currently working on what the housing offset allowance will be. Houses in Santa Cruz are triple the price of West Lebanon, NH. Negotiations for physcian positions seem to take a long time. Assuming all goes well, it will be next year before they actually, physically, get back to California
Today we take Bustopher to the vet for his booster vaccines and then we're going to pick up the table that we bought last Thursday. Past that, we have no plans.
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
