We just got home from WA, about 2245. I flew out last Saturday morning and was due to fly home Monday night ~ the very short version is Tiney and Matey are spending the summer here with me (and Uncle Buh)
Their belongings are in a storage unit (in my name, Tiney doesn't have a driver's license so the lady didn't know how to rent her a unit) in Lakewood. Sunday evening I cancelled my flight home and Tuesday Tiney called Buh, "Come rescue me". He left within the hour (made good time til he got to the rock blasting on Snoqualmie) and Wednesday he survived loading Tiney's storage unit ;-} with Aunt Sandy (she is a slave driver!!!) (i.e. she gets things Done)
Matey loves the fish in his new bedroom!
So, Saturday Aunt Sandy picked me up at SeaTac 0830, we picked up Tiney and Matey, went to Olympia, moved her out of the rat infested unit at Cambridge Court Apts (13-103) with help from her ex thePirate, two friends of his and Aunt Sandy (who was the whip cracker), turned in the key at 1345, unloaded the stuff at her ex's and dropped Tiney at a motel at 1600 to have time alone to enjoy turning 24 - albeit technically homeless.
I kept Matey that night and it was quite the experience, NO ONE got any sleep to speak of. Next night (Sunday) was better, Matey and Mommy had the trailer and a tv of their own to watch movies on (Cars, Finding Nemo, the GOOD movies Aunt Sandy and Uncle Larry might not think to watch)
Sunday evening was when the decision to "vacation" in Idaho for the summer was pretty much decided. It had actually been Plan A when Tiney asked me about living with her and Matey (her lease was up in May, mine ends 30 Sept) but our plans have been revised so many times we lost count.
I am happy to have more time to get things in order, I am happy to have them here for the summer and look forward to finding out what else is headed our way!
It'll give me lots to blog about :-Þ
