First Things First

Okay, my uncle was in town for his high school reunion a couple of weeks ago, and he swung by the Fort for a visit. He was on the Midwestern Tour, so our visit was brief, but very nice indeed. He came on Sunday afternoon, and we had a lovely visit here at the house. He brought some things for me, some photos, and a couple of watches, and a couple of other things. One of the watches he bought for my Dad when he was in the Navy. It was Dad's favorite, and I am so thrilled to have it. I've been wearing it off and on, but it drops time, so will take it in and have it checked out. Then we went to dinner at Casa, which was awesome, the service was superb. They even bring MagnaDoodles out to keep the kids occupied! The food was great, and everyone was satisfied. (thank you Dick!). He insisted on not staying with us, (what, 2 kids under 5 and you don't want to stay???) and we completely understood and sent him on to a place not far at all. In the morning the kids and I picked him up and took him on a big driving tour of the Fort. We drove around in a lot of neighborhoods in which we had looked for a house, but the big treat was a tour of Renaissance Pointe. The models were up and a lot had been going on since I was last down there for the groundbreaking. It was awesome! It's very exciting to see things happening, and hopefully the market will find an interest in it sooner than later. It's a great opportunity. After the tour we came back to the house and had some lunch, and sent Dick on his way to the next stop in his Midwestern Tour. I think he was maybe headed back to South Bend? He should be home by now, and we all hope he had a good time. We did while he was here!
