Chase and Nanaw had a busy and exciting day on Thursday. Nanaw had Mama bring Chase over to her house at 7 because Nanaw was getting the house ready for the cleaning lady, who was coming at 8:15 -- much too early. At eight, Chase and Nanaw went downstairs and had school. Chase saw the bassinet, and Nanaw told him he'd slept in it when he was a baby. So of course he had to get in the basement, and Nanaw took pictures. Nanaw was very happy that Chase got everything done. The cleaning lady left just before Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky arrived -- perfect timing. They were coming to finish the drainage trench that Uncle Mike dug a couple of weeks ago. They wee also going to plant grass seed on the big bare space from where Nanaw's sewer pipe was repaired. Uncle Mike also prepared a little garden area on the side of the house where Nanaw could transplant her green beans and pumpkins. Chase came out and watched them work but kept his distance from Cheyenne and Apache. Aunt Becky tied them up to the back of the truck with long ropes so they could wander around. They're cute but scary to Nanaw and probably to Chase because they're so big and ferocious looking. After Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky left, Chase and Nanaw went to the Telegraph Road library to pick up books for Mama and a CD book for Nanaw. They wore their masks inside and didn't stay very long. The library looked different, with a lot of the chairs gone, a room dedicated to quarantining the books for 72 hours, etc. When Nanaw took Chase home, there was a surprise waiting for him in the back yard. Mama had bought him a blow-up pool eBay and Daddy was filling it with water. Chase was very excited and immediately got his swimming trunks and shirt on and jumped in the pool. He was a happy camper.
