Life is too busy

Life continues to be very busy.

But I need to write about the last couple of weeks before it gets dimmed in my mind...

Bringing Bill home from Muncie:

We drove down on Wednesday night, after getting in a full day of work (for Dan) and school/housework for me and Steven. We got in to the hotel in Gas City pretty late. As it turns out, the hotel in Gas City was pretty nice - nicer than any of the numerous hotels we have stayed at in Muncie, including one from the same chain. We called Bill to ask him what his schedule was on Thursday and got a surprise. Early in the week he had said he had finals all day on Thursday and one on Friday afternoon. It turns out that he had looked at the schedule incorrectly, and he had had finals all day on Wednesday, one on Thursday afternoon, and one on Friday morning. Our plans immediately changed. We had been planning on spending Thursday day in Indianapolis and seeing Bill and get started on packing up his room on Thursday night. Now we could get started and work on his room most of the day on Thursday.

And that is what we did, including a lunch break at Cheeseburgers in Paradise. When he had how exam, we took a break and visited the gardens at Minnestrista, then sat on the river bank in a park in the sunshine for an hour or so.

We got a lot of his stuff packed up and ready to go.

He wanted to get out of the dorm for a couple of hours, so we brought him back to the hotel, where he took a shower and a long nap. Then we took him back to Muncie, and we ate dinner at our favorite restaurant in Muncie, this really good Italian place.

On Friday we packed the back of his little truck with the big stuff like the book case, and cleaned his half of the dorm room while he was taking his last exam.

And then we came home, stopping off for lunch in Auburn.

We got to come home an entire day early, which was a blessing given how busy Dan is these days.

On Saturday, we unpacked everything and did housework.
