Life is fun with the Lammerdings on board

Dear Ones,
As I write Barbie is reading a Nora Roberts book in the recliner, a small fire is burning in the stove and Gerry is watching something on TV, the game is over, the Matt interview with Bush is over and they are winding down. 
This morning Barbie made some really tasty Belgium Waffles, made from oatmeal and ground up nuts they tasted super good and stayed with me all day.  With peanut butter and applesauce on top they were just great.
Then Barbie tore into the kitchen cleaning everything in sight, did my laundry while Gerry washed my bug and then moved the dog door from the kitchen door to the family room door where Starr needs to be able to come and go.  They have been busy all day and still found time to read and nap.

Meanwhile I've been writing.  In spite of taking time out for lunch at Strawhat where Gerry had sticker shock at the prices I've written 4 reports today, took in some new orders and really had a pretty good day.  This evening I was printing out some reports and discovered that August and September were terrible months for booking fees for work completed but October more than doubled the September amount and there is several thousand that will come in soon for work completed.  Now if we can just convince the mortgage company that I can make the monthly payment providing they lower it some then I'll sleep better again. Oh the joys and challenges of running a small business.

Tomorrow the motorhome comes home from its first rental.  They seem to have enjoyed it a lot and are eager to get back and head home to Tahoe.  Then I have a couple weeks before it goes out again.  Once again I want to thank those people that helped get it ready, Art who helped with the spare tire and the dinette installation, Sylvia who cleaned the interior and equipped the kitchen with the things that are supposed to be there, Steve for installing the new radio and detailing the dash and general cleaning and Ray for getting the door to working better with his trusty graphite. Then there was Ken who provided a way to get the amount of air in the tires to the correct level.  So it took a crew to do it all.

Well its time for bed and it has been an incredibly good day.  The quality of the day was helped a lot by the good grilled cheese sandwiches Gerry made this evening, oh they were so good.

Good night all,

love
