Daley Ponderings

Since it appears that Speakeasy is not going to be able to figure out how to reconnect our internet, at least for a while, I got internet working simultaneously on our desktop and our laptop this morning.

Thursday morning, we drove up to Jon's Aunt Janet's place in Hamilton, Ontario. We stopped at "our" Wal-Mart at the two hour mark for a bathroom break and to buy some snacks. (I think we've stopped there every time we go that way - it must just be at a good break point.)

So much exciting stuff happened today that I want to get it written down now, even before we post about our vacation to Canada this weekend.

Yes, Jonathan has now started to use personal pronouns correctly. He said the title phrase, and then when we were playing, he said, "Jonathan bulldozer, you backhoe." He's still not consistent, but he's starting to figure it out!

Jonathan got out the large United States puzzle yesterday and had fun playing with the pieces. He would pick up one and I'd tell him what it was. Then he dumped the whole thing out and he would try to put them in.

The line at security at the Orlando International Airport was short and quick. There was only one man in front of us to go through the x-ray machines. He had a lot of stuff (now that I think about it, way too much for legal carry-on) and he had to take his laptop out of its bag, etc.

Mom found this house while canoeing in the Merrimack River, and thinks it is just perfect for us. It does look great! There is a lot of land (13 acres) and a lovely place for the Black Rabbit to launch from.
We have gotten used to Pittsburgh housing prices, so anything is a shock, but this house is fairly expensive in my mind, though probably quite reasonable.
It needs a lot of work, and of course, I would need to find a job, and see how the community is, etc.
Update: the address is 250 West Road, Canterbury, NH. It is 50 or so minutes from my parents.

We recently switched our automobile insurance to State Farm, because Amica doubled their rates on our homeowners policy, a bait-and-switch sort of thing - they told me the estimated rate, and I agreed, spent a month trying to get the inspector to come look at the house.

There have been a number of things we wanted to work better on the Flying Junior, but mostly because it is hard to find a sailboat store in Pittsburgh, we hadn't gotten around to it.

On Tuesday, I just randomly started singing "All Around the Mulberry Bush" without really thinking about it. When I finished, Jonathan said in a singy voice, "monkey, weasel, monkey, weasel!"

Monday morning, September 19, 2005, at 9 a.m., the Judge will begin hearing arguments on Pre-Trial Motions filed in the case. Judy's attorney will be asking for dismissal.

Judy has asked me to request that those of you who pray, pray for 3 specific things:

1. That her attorney will be granted wisdom and discernment as he argues his case Monday morning;
2. That Judy and her family will stay focused on God and not be tempted or discouraged;
3. That the case will be dismissed, Lord willing, and that God will be glorified.
