I love this man!

Last Friday we helped Kylie move. Now our policy is one move per child, and truth be told, we still owe her sister a move, but Gene was worried about Ky coming down to get a pickup and having to move in the rain, so we hooked up our covered trailer, got up at 3 am, and headed for Eugene at 4am.

As I dozed off near Grants Pass I heard, "Oh, s#*t, I just lost the lights!"

We pulled over and he checked, and the plug had come out, dragged along the pavement and was destroyed. What to do now?

We drove into Grants Pass, hoping that their Super Walmart was open 24 hours. Yeah! It was. We bought a new plug and wire cutters, pulled under a light in the parking lot and in the rain, at 4:30 am, we fixed the plug and continued to Eugene.

We helped the kids move their furniture, and took them shopping, buying a little computer desk and a small dining table. The new apartment is cute and much larger and brighter. We also had Kylie’s car dropped off, to have the brake light fixed and an oil change. It took longer than expected because the wrong light bulb was sent to the repair shop, and to apologize, they did it all for FREE - thank you Meineke - you said you wanted to earn our business, and you succeeded.

That afternoon as we left Eugene, Gene looked at me and said, "I am always sad when we leave the Girls."
