May 24 – “Missed it by that much …”


Well, the Bug Guy was supposed to be here yesterday between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. to attack the major ant colony in our kitchen.  Nope.  We waited until 9:30 for them to arrive or maybe to call, but nothing happened, so I called them.  Seems they had written down the wrong address.  They came to 7006 Sycamore, saw nothing but dogs in the window, and went on to their next call.  They offered big apologies, and promised to be here this morning around 8 a.m.  I think I’ll stand at the front door and watch for them …

About the only other point of significance from yesterday would be the calls we made to see about financing this car we have to buy.  I got the info from my retirement account on drawing or borrowing from there.  Chris looked up the latest offering from Chevrolet’s financing department.  Oh, and we checked back on cars.com and located another equinox there (which is actually on site at the Chevy dealership in Galveston) for that same $3,000 less than what the dealer offers.  I sent in the email as instructed and now we are waiting to hear back from them.  I guess by tomorrow we may have to just go to the dealer and present our offer to him. 

Big weekend for us coming up.  Not just because it’s Memorial Day and the crowd will be horrendous on the Island.  Nathan and April are heading out on a weekend trip for their tenth anniversary.  Cailyn is staying with us from this afternoon up until they return on Monday.  Oh, and along with her typical suitcase and probably her softball gear, she will be bringing two other additions as well.  Her dogs.  Boston Bull Terrier Scooter and Boxer Abby.  They are always an interesting mix with our three little mutts.  Never a dull moment around here this weekend.

Psalms 65:9 says, “You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water.”

Father, be with Nathan and April on their journey this weekend.  Keep them safe on the roads and help them draw closer to each other as they reboot for another ten years.  Amen.
