On our plate today were more errands and signing up for services at the new house. Thanks to every for your comments and advice about our missing jacks. We are not ready to go totally wireless, but we have found that you can get a phone system that is partially wireless which will require fewer jacks. In fact we will only need one for the base phone, then you can have additional phones in other parts of the house that only require being plugged in to electricity. So that sounds like a go. The Phone Man is meeting us at the house in the morning to give us an estimate for installing one or more jacks.

I took measurements of windows in the bedroom and bathrooms so that I can whip up some make do curtains until we are ready to commit to something more permanent. I’ll just get some expansion rods to hold them.

Mia requested that I come to pick her up at school today. They were celebrating the 100th day of school and it was all about 100. Each child had brought in a baggie with 100 objects. they did art work using 100 things.

Mr. C and I borrowed Jack’s car and did some driving around our new neck of the woods. He decided that we know just enough about Portland to be dangerous!

Tonight we got take out from a near-by Tex-Mex restaurant. I had an Ahi tuna burrito ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù twas yummy. After dinner, Mia sat on my lap and drew pictures of cute birds and fancy birds. There is a very small zebra, also.

Here are two paintings by Milo that I love:

After we meet with the phone man in the morning, it is off to the airport so that Stephanie can get reorganized for Mark and Jaime to show up for the week-end. Mark and Jack share the same birthday so he likes to come up here and party with Jack. They have rented a "real log cabin" (Mia’s words) at Mt. Hood where they will enjoy the snow.
