The end of our road trip
All that is really needed is a seat in the lobby. Near the reception desk. That is where all the answers will be found. For example this morning we had no coffee. A rare thing in a large hotel. But then, later in the afternoon I learned that the water softener had broken. Turn the coffee they did make into something salty. I would have used fresh water if I had been asked. I was there for most of the afternoon and after the first few minutes no one noticed me I was just that little old man sitting on the couch quietly. And so I did I stayed put and waited to see what else goes on in a lobby. Did you know that hotel has different rooms for everything. And that they have a different price for those rooms. No wonder it takes so many people around the desk. Basic accounting. I learned that if we wanted to stay for another couple of days we would not have been able because they were down to nothing left except the bridal suite. That did not interest me much. Our trip in the area was done and within hours we were back home. Good weather all the way except for darkness. I know darkness is not weather but when there’s nothing else going on that’s all you notice. And by the time we got home and unpacked and got in the house it was still dark. We’re getting very good at this kind of thing. Still have to deal with some minor problems. The floors are still cold. Outside there’s still work to be done only under the house but that’s the materials problem. I’ll just go to bed tonight and let that be something to think about in the morning.
