One month later

Here is the precious boy at one month old.

Guillermo and I have enjoyed reminiscing about what we were going through exactly one month ago.  The frantic rush to pack up our house and get on the road after Rebeca's call.  The long long long drive that we happened to do in record time.  The excitement we felt when we got Jason's call that our grandson named Scotty had just been born.  How grateful we were that we got the call while we were driving through El Paso so that for sure there was cell coverage to get the call.  And then finally finally navigating the maze of the hospital hallways as we made our way to Rebeca's room and saw our grandson for the very first time.  What a special time that was to be there with Rebeca and Jason for that momentous occasion!

So, one month later, here at home, we were so glad that we didn't have to get out on the roads.  A strong cold front hit this morning bringing with it very strong winds, drizzle and plunging temperatures.  Yesterday we had placed a huge tarp over the shed Guillermo's building in anticipation of this cold front and rain because there just hadn't been time to complete the entire roof of the shed.  Well, at about 11 this morning, as the winds got stronger, we looked outside and the tarp was almost COMPLETELY off of the shed!   We were shocked but that's how strong the winds were!   So, we had absolutely no choice but to go out there, face the elements, and do the whole thing all over.  That was rough.  The wind just wanted to take that huge tarp and sending it flying down the neighborhood.  And it hadn't been drizzling up to that point but of course, while we were trying to get that tarp back on, it starts to drizzle.  Very strong winds, icy cold temperature and freezing drizzle sure did make it a rough time but eventually we got the thing under control and back in place over the shed.  It was crazy.
