Days Away From Freedom

The final two posts went up last night and we took measurements for trimming out the tricky bends in the platform. Laid down the plywood sheets and prepped the final rails. And I tried firing up the Celebrity, which has a dead battery, but with the power of gravity and the gear of neutral, I was able to ease it down to the flat portion of the drive, freeing up space behind the Polara and Ford. Guy will be dragging those to the lower area (by the shed) and flattening the circular drive to make for a clear path for Mom's dropoff.

Mom is still set to come home next Wednesday, and provided we can get the ramp and driveway done (which I think we can on Sunday), she will come home for a few hours on Tuesday as a "test run" with her therapists.

Dad is still looking well and keeping busy around the house. He's as anxious to get Mom home as she is to get out of Maryville.

If you're available on Sunday, I'd appreciate the help to close the ramp up completely.

Thanks!
