Awake: 7:25am Temp 59 sleep 7+53 off & on rain overnight @ Nicktown.
Mid morning, the Blume's truck arrived.
Kathy was not satisfied with the granite work that the guys did on Friday, 27 May, so the company sent Mike to check it out. He has all the equipment in the mobile workshop to fix or redo a lot of flaws but,
after a reasonable time passed, Kathy wandered over to the house & found that Mike was trying to mix some blue into the granite that would make it look OK.
Later, Mike had to admit: it's not fixable. They must find a piece of granite to match & do it right.
Katrina called to let us know that she would like to come over tomorrow. "That will be great!" we told her.
Meanwhile, Kathy ordered a pedestal sink for the powder room; we already have faucets.
Before motoring to the Foote Castle, I called Newell & reserved a spot for maintenance in July.
At the Foote Castle, I spent a good deal of time with Matthew in the basement workshop: "unsoldering" electronic parts from circuit boards & discussing them & transformers.
Kathy played cars & trains with Gregory.
Here is Katrina coloring with Andrew, who loves to color & is quite good at it.
We each had a grilled cheese sandwich while the boys had their late afternoon snack & then we scooted to Wal-Mart for groceries before heading back to Nicktown & before the heavy rain caught up to us.
Dinner: New England clam chowder with extra clams, oyster crackers & toast.
Lights out:11:40pm.
