On Tuesday we went to see Stephen's new house that is in the process of being built with Stephen and his friend Sid. Unfortunately the lady that has the key took Tuesday off so we could only see the outside of the house. Tomorrow we will try again to see the house on the inside! The house isn't done yet but the kitchen cabinets and the granite counter tops are in. They have some more painting to do, the outside lights and front and back yard and sprinkler systems. On the inside they still have carpet and flooring to do and not sure what else. It is going to be a nice house for the kids when it gets finished and they are really excited!
Then we had lunch with Stephen and his friend Sid and they had us in stitches the entire lunch! We went back home thinking we were done eating for the day and Craig called. Claire was getting her hair done so we met him for a glass of wine and dinner at the Elbow Room near his office. We had a nice evening visiting with Craig. We took him home and I noticed the full moon in the background and so I took his picture! (I keep forgetting to take pictures when I'm with the kids)!
On Wednesday morning we took a ride up to Coarsegold to the Chukchansi Casino. We gambled a couple of hours and I came out $40.00 ahead and Ted lost $36.00 so we broke even! We had a late lunch and then headed back to the campground.
Again, we weren't expecting to see anyone and thought we'd had our big meal for the day! Craig called and said he and Claire were available for dinner around 7:00. They were going to San Francisco Friday morning to meet with their tutor that is helping study for the bar, and they wouldn't see us again until Easter evening. So out to dinner again we went! With spring break in full session a couple of the places were really busy and we finally went to Take Five, the restaurant where Craig proposed to Claire. Ted and I had small salads for dinner and the kids shared a salmon dinner. We really enjoyed our evening with them.
Today we had lunch with Craig. We sat outside and enjoyed the pretty day! Again, thinking we were done eating for the day, Chip texted me and said he was available for dinner! We met him over at an Italian Restaurant and had a great dinner and caught up with what's going on in his life. He teaches High School math and also is the assistant wrestling coach. One of the kids he coaches made it to number one in the State and so the High School is sending Chip and the wrestler to Virginia to the Nationals on Tuesday! Chip is pretty excited about the kid and the good news is that he is only a junior this year!
So with a big fat, full belly I submit this blog!..."Ain't Life Grand!"
