Well today is Tuesday, June 27th and I should be posting updates again.
Today is Riley's, David Jr.'s step daughter's birthday, so we want to wish her Happy Birthday. She is having a party this Sunday, July 2nd but we can't make it.

This last week the drywaller came by, a person the plumber recommended, but the job was to big for him. He only likes to do patch jobs, what the hell is that all about, Dave could do the patch work we sure wouldn't hire someone for that. Anyway, he gave us a name of someone else so Dave called him and he came by Saturday afternoon and he will do the drywall work tomorrow, Wednesday, starting between 7 and 8 am, needless to say Kim and Danny are really happy about that. Oh well, it's all about making the house that they live in a lot better.

Last Friday Kim and Danny went to Danny's little brother's high school graduation down in North Hollywood. Hector, the one that bought Dave's Mustang and Danny's little brother, had dropped out of high school a little while ago and the family really worked on him to go back and get his diploma. Needless to say everyone is very proud of him and Kim and Danny really had to be there to celebrate with the family, so Dave and I baby sat their dogs, our grand dogs, Ha Ha. We are so nice that we feed them and by 8 pm we locked them in the kitchen/den and Dave, Valley and I drove back to our motor home to get a good nights sleep. I would have stayed but when I'm there the 3 dogs don't leave me alone and it drives Dave crazy. Where I am the 3 dogs are, so needless to say, when I'm working with Dave he not only has me he also has 3 dogs in the middle of everything. The other day he even yelled at the dogs saying they didn't need to follow me where ever I go, I told him jealousy is an ugly thing, Ha Ha.

Anyway back to the construction, Kim, Danny, Fernando, Vivian, Karla, and Jessica (Danny's sister, brother in law, and niece's) drove back Saturday morning to begin the tile work again. Vivian is 8 1/2 months pregnant and they don't have air conditioning in North Hollywood so thank goodness Kim has air conditioning other wise the temps were 105 and she probably would have had the baby this weekend. Fernando, Danny and Dave worked on the tile work in the master bath, and in the afternoon Kim took Vivian and the girls back to our motor home and went to the pool at our place, I hung around incase the guys needed anything, plus I wasn't going to the pool it was much cooler in the house.

Saturday night about 6:30 Dave and I took off for the Bakersfield Speedway again, getting hooked on these car races. We got back to Kim's to pick up Valley about 10:45 pm and everyone was in bed. Danny and Fernando worked till about 9:00 pm then Kim and Danny went and picked up dinner for them. Kim did go earlier and got dinner for the girls. Danny said they were on a roll and didn't want to quit working.

We went back at 9:00 am on Sunday morning and Kim had made breakfast for everyone then it was back to work again. The guys didn't quit until almost 5:00 pm Sunday night, it's a lot of tile work and Danny and Dave are going to work a little during the week on it, but Fernando will be up again next weekend and hopefully will knock out another big chunk of it, but then what do I know, it could be all of it, but I don't think so. After the floors, shower, and walls Fernando is also doing the counter top which is almost 9 feet long.

Moveing on to something else, Kim has school from 5:30 to 9:30 on Monday and Wednesday nights, so we invited Danny to come to our house after he got off work for dinner. Kim thought she might get out of school early and would come by, anyway, we BBQ'ed chicken and asparagus and had a nice dinner. It was a nice break for Danny because, I think, since we have been here he hasn't had a day off without working with us on the construction on the house. He swears we have been here for at least two months now or longer, just kidding I think. Kim called and wasn't going to be able to make it so after dinner and clean up we decided to go to the casino, Danny finally talked me into it. He is really hooked on Texas Hold'em and Dave has gone a few times with him and lately I have been watching it on TV. So we went to the casino and Danny sat behind me trying to help me, talk about shit cards, 3-5, 2-6 ect. When I finally got a "jack" I decided to bet, I lost my ass because everyone knew I had a "jack" when the flop came because it was the 1st time I could play. I started with $40.00 and when I was down to $4.00 I went all in and finally won, but the money didn't last long, but it was fun. I was so nervous sitting with about 8 guys that knew what they were doing. Needless to say I'm going to start practicing on line now to try and get better, but I know I won't get hooked, because Dave works to hard for his money, I used to say that I worked to hard for my money, but I'm unemployed now, so I really work to hard for my unemployment.

I think I have written enough, better save something for next week.
Love to all.
