Simeon's Home
Simeon, our adoptive son who's name I added to the Christmas card list
came home at 4 am Friday morning. His biological dad had driven over from Washington State and Rob, Mandy, and I were there to greet him. He looks good, though his skin is a bright red which makes that red hair of his look ginger colored. Simeon said he had to go to Sears with his dad, so I asked him to give me some ball park figures on a kitchen stove, so that I would have one less place to price them at. They did some looking and Sim came home with some figures for me. I thought great, about $4-600 for a stove looks about right, but lets see what else is out there. After all we have some money coming back from taxes. So today I get a phone call from Simeon, saying he needs me to advise him about some clothing purchases. I've been trying to get him to change his image from the merely goofy to something a girl would be more interested in. So Rob and I show up to meet Simeon and his dad and they take us to Sears and tell us that they've bought us a stove, they just want me to pick it out. We argued with them for over a half hour. Sears is delivering my new stove on Tuesday. We will have to pull the old drop in stove out, install a pigtail receptacle, and cut away four inches of counter, which is doable because there is about four inches of extension on the cupboards that can be removed and the stove fitted in. What am I going to do with that kid and his dad? So Rob and I are talking about getting us a third computer and giving this one to Rob as most of the games he plays are on it, and I will get the new one for the net and classes, if I can get my butt back into school.

Although people may or may not agree with the reasons he was sent there, it's great to have people like him giving service to the country, and even better to hear he's safely home.

What am I going to do with that kid and his dad? Too cool! A free new stove and only some minor retrofitting to pay for. That's so nice! Of course, there aren't a whole lot of things to spend your paycheck on in the Middle East. So Rob and I are talking about getting us a third computer and giving this one to Rob as most of the games he plays are on it, and I will get the new one for the net and classes, if I can get my butt back into school.
