Back from visiting a bit with dgs. They were at the library so we parked at their house and walked over, played a bit with him there (628 is vehicles and 641 is kids cookbooks so he hung around that section of the stacks.) Then we walked home. Dgd fell asleep on the walk so we sat outside for 20 minutes so she could nap. Dgs showed me the new double stroller. It is a side-by-side umbrella stroller which is easier to travel with than their big city double stroller or their SUV stroller (my descriptions.)
They have almost $1000 of strollers but since they aren't normally car owners (they have one until December) and still walk or bus to almost everything despite having a car, they really do need the big strollers to hold kids, groceries, diaper bags. When you think of all the stuff you keep in your car, just in case (i.e. umbrella, or tissues, or a water bottle) that all has to be carried in backpacks when they go out.
I will say the big double stroller handles better than the SUV stroller but apparently it is useless in snow. The hope is that dgs will be able to walk everywhere by next winter. He's pretty good now, easily walking a half mile at a time. He's just slow.
I'm getting a headache from the off-gassing of the carpet. I think I'll put on a fan and see if that helps speed up the process.
I just spent time watching the barges, even though I knew the outcome. Signed into FB to watch them crash into the dam. That was really impressive.
