Another One On The Way

Despite half my customers claiming they were going to stay closer to home this year due to high gas prices, they must have heeded Mother Nature and ignored their fuel tanks (and their wallets). Except for one spurt around 5-5:30, the Acme was steady-to-dead today. No major problems, either, not even call-outs. Mother Nature must have felt the need to make up for the dreadful weather we had last week. Today was absolutely, positively perfect. It was warm, sunny, windy but not yesterday's gale-force winds, without a cloud in the blue sky. I had a fantastic ride to and from work, and a lovely walk right before I left for work, too.

I spent most of the morning finally talking to Mom. She confirmed that yes, my sister Anny is pregnant with her second child, and yes, she and her current boyfriend Mike do seem to be serious about possibly getting married, for Skylar and the upcoming child's sake if nothing else. Mom was in an excellent mood. Dad was on a fishing trip and Keefe was at Anny's, helping Mike with some patio work, so she had some rare time at home to herself. It would seem all of Anny's friends are in the midst of having and/or raising children, keeping Mom as busy knitting as she prefers.
