I was also excited to bring along some special decor items that Carlo designed and had made. He designed some "no hunting" signs to post on the property but the most special of signs is the "OWich Parking Only" sign he's going to put on the post in front of the cabin. A big giant thank you to Carlo! All visitors best comply...or else!
I stopped at the oasis because I found out the coffee they serve is the Breakfast Blend that is one of my favorites - and I was feeling a bit tired. Then back on the road and the ride went fairly well and I got to the cabin by 10:15; at least that's the time I noticed after the car was unloaded and water pump was up and running. After a quick inventory I headed down for a short visit with Paul and Betty and then a run to WalMart.
I had a little unexpected plumbing crisis upon my return with a few bags of groceries...the water pump was running, making a grinding noise and when I opened the valve it spewed water ~ everywhere ~ . Luckily Carlo was on the phone and he talked me through the re-priming of the pump and after about 15 minutes everything seemed to be back to normal! Phew; it was stressful. And once I calmed down, I was able to watch GH. *Fingers crossed* that the day will end on a positive note. After napping away a good chunk of afternoon, I woke up around 6:00. Since I was awake I decided to get one of my two goal chores done so I disinfected the bathroom tiles to pre-treat them to be sealed. A friend from work, Gavin (aka Puma), gave me some spray cleaner and a travertine sealer to use. The hopes are to remove the haze and make the tiles have a "forever" sheen to them. Thanks Puma! It has the finish I was hoping for!
*** I've been asked to post a before sealer photo and an after sealer photo - so here there are! An obvious difference - don't you think?
before 
after 
I went to bed early after more naps in the evening - tomorrow is gonna be a busy day!
