Keeping up with the Jones: Ned Off to School Part 2

So, last Saturday Daddy, Tommy and I took Ned over to Yakima. Rainy day. Yuk! Ned and I left about 1/2 hour before them because Daddy had to make deliveries. We go there at about 11:30. it was raining in Yakima. I asked the woman checking everyone in about the rain and she said it hadn't rained there in months. great, it rained on move in day! YUK! Any way we got things into the room and then it was time to take Ned over to the baseball barbecue the coach was having for all the players. Ned walked thru the gate and I turned and balled like a baby. As Daddy and Tommy sat in the truck and watched me. I got myself under control in about 2 minutes and all was good. It was like taking all the boys to kindergarten on the first day all over again. Thought I was done with that. After we all ate at Arby's and I ran a gallon of milk back to Ned I was off to Moscow to see Seth, Lacey and the kids.

Let me tell you there is a whole lot of nothing out there in central Washington. I literally was the only person on my side of the road for 2 hours! I made it to Moscow in 3 hours. Not bad! I spent 5 days with Seth, Lacey and the boys and we had a great time. I went to work with Seth for about 2 hours one day. He taught me all about draft horses. Let me tell you they are big beasts. I sewed some things (baby blankets, tooth fairy pillows, diaper burp cloths) Lacey is taking over to Now and Then where she sells her vinyl products. They cleaned the carpets, we went down to Lewiston to go to the Home Depot. We were able to get gas at Safeway for only $3.29 a gallon. Can you believe getting excited about $3.29 gas? It was just fun to hang out with Seth, Lacey and the boys.

I went back thru Yakima on my way home and spent 3 hours with Ned. He is fine and adjusting. Baseball was very hard the first day and he was very tired but it's getting better and easier. He likes his classes too. He has been able to get rides to church and last night our Bishop who is from Yakima and was there over the weekend, had him over for dinner at his father's home. So he is being well taken care of which i am very grateful for.

I got home at midnight on Thursday and will catch up some day!
