Father's Day and More

Tomorrow is the big day at the Homestead, so I have drafted three plans for the ramp in ArcView and will pace out exact dimensions while at the house with Venka and my Dad. After some discussion, Dad and I really don't think Venka is ready for or aware of the "uniqueness" of the Gilchrist Homestead, so I've put a call into her to talk a bit about it and what she should be ready for. I also have a call into Dr. Walsh, one of Mom's cardiologists, to see if he is aware of her status and/or if he has any advice.

I called Dr. Jones last week but he is out on vacation through tomorrow, and the scheduler would not talk to me unless Dr. Jones was involved, so I'll follow up with him tomorrow about recheduling Mom's ablation.

Stopped by Maryville on Saturday for a Father's Day brunch, which was really nice and allowed to have a nice extended chat and some good food too. Saw them both as well yesterday (with coffee in hand) and they're both in fine spirits but quite ready to leave.

Dad and I discussed moving the cars to the lower landing below the driveway until the ramp construction is complete just so they're out of the way and we can get working while people come by and look at what's there before deciding if they want to take them off our hands. I think it's a pretty good idea so I'm going to be talking to the neighbor (Guy) about using his equipment for the move, though locked wheels and flat tires could pose a problem. I would like to have them out of the way this week so we can get a work party going this weekend, but I'll have more info on that as the week progresses.

More tomorrow after the visit!
