A few things

[trystinn]

Little duckling Prima is doing great. No sign of additional ducklings from Mia, however. Wendy is a wonderful mother and has taken excellent care of her little charge. I'm going to rig some sort of box for them to get out of the wind, as our back porch is part of a wind channel on the south side of our home.

The demolition derby was great. Could have done without the Elvis impersonator, though. I'm not a huge Elvis fan to begin with and the audio was quite poor. The audience was particularly quiet, which drove the folks running the show conniption fits. They kept screaming at us to get louder, rowdier, etc. We all ignored them. *grin*

Vicky and I had a particularly lazy weekend, so now I've got to catch up on chores this week. I'm stuck doing laundry all day today, hope to get the vacuuming done, too. I've dusted the front of the house already and we're going to need a dump run soonest. Not to mention a grocery run.

I was able to find someone on Freecycle who was willing to loan us a bunk bed for our exchange students. Once he heard about our situation, he offered to deliver it, so the pieces are hanging out in the foyer waiting. Tiger's husband, Jim, is coming over after her checkup to help us swap out the beds. I'll have to head into town this afternoon to pick up the girls, will do a bit of shopping to find bedding for the bunk beds. He's not sure he wants it back, so I'm to call when we're done with it.

The full size bed that's in there now will likely end up stored in the meditation room for the next month or so. Shouldn't be an issue, but we will be shoe-horned in here for awhile. I can likely get Tiger's permission to store it at her home, so we'll see how things go. Frankly, she could use a guest bed for a bit.

I'm waiting to hear back from the command as to when my slot is for the video teleconferencing with hubby. About all I know at present, is we're on for Saturday.

Update: I've removed everything I can from the guest bedroom and am waiting for Jim to arrive and help me move the full size bed, assemble the bunk bed and move it into place.

I have one exchange student, Vicky, who leaves on the 20th and the next student, Caroline, will arrive on the 11th and be here until the 30th. *grin*

Two teenage girls. I imagine much pizza and giggling!

We carpool with the two exchange students staying 4 houses down the street, so they drive in the morning and I pick up in the afternoon. *grin*

Ah!! And where is Caroline from? Could be fun!

Same town in China - Chung King.

Makes you wonder if they knew each other before and if not if they will become friends when they are both home.

I'm wondering, but Vicky is two years younger than Caroline. I do hope that whatever relationships these girls can foster here in America will follow them home.
