Paradise ponders, discombobulation edition... Sorry for the radio silence, folks – things have been a tad confused and hectic around here. I just got back from the Salt Lake City airport, where I dropped Debbie off for her flight back to Ohio to attend her mom's viewing and funeral. She'll be back home next Friday.
On Thursday, Debbie got some great grief therapy: she went shopping with our friend Michelle H., getting an outfit to wear at the events of next week. She might have accidentally bought about six other outfits as well. :) She came back home much cheered. Bless you, Michelle! My own much less effective efforts at therapy included conversations about the good memories about her mom, and playing long games of Mexican Train. Those didn't come close to rivaling the effects of shopping with a good friend...
In between all the other stuff happening, I did finish the redwood 2x6 rails for our deck. I'll be installing them today, weather permitting (rain is in the forecast, so there's some doubt about this). Yesterday Randy Bingham and his sidekick Jeffrey showed up to install the stone on our two front porches. They'll be back today to finish up the porch by our front door. The porch to the sun room has a problem, though: the quarry cut one of the four pieces incorrectly. Randy and Jeffrey took that back to the quarry yesterday, either for re-cutting (if they can) or cutting four new matching pieces for us. It will be done on Monday, either way, and they'll have it down soon thereafter.
I have some photos of this stuff, but I'm not where I can post them right now. I'll catch up on that another day (maybe tomorrow!)...
