Sleep overs, The “Pablo”

Since we have had to live in a one bedroon suite for the past ten days it was a real blessing for the boys that we got the keys to the house this weekend. They spent the night last night (The houses first sleep over.) after Mama determined that we had cleaned sufficiently to make it habitable. My thought was that it was for two teenage boys so it did not have to be too clean.


As they got up to take showers this morning they discovered that the shower enclosure in the master bath had a poorly installed faucet and they could not get any hot water to run through it. It was the only shower available since the hall bath did not have a shower curtain. The outside temperature was about 25 degrees so the water was pretty cold. I was told it was very stimulating. They made it to the hotel on time to eat breakfast before Sunday School and they looked presentable. What more can I ask?

Mama had to yeild to someone moving in before her and anyome using the shower before her was frustrating her more than a little – until she found out the problem the boys discovered for her. So it all worked out pretty well. At least they did not use “her” towels.

We get our refrigerator delivered on Tuesday so there will be something to eat and cold milk for a bowl of cereal. All of our shipped stuff gets delivered on Thursday so we will see how quickly this little house fills up. Mama and I are planning to vacate the hotel as of Thursday and live for one whole weekend in the house before we travel to Chappell Hill to spend Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad.

Our reator’s name is Pablo. He is a Spanish heritage man who just turned 50 years old. He has a full head of hair which is mostly white, peppered with black. He keeps it trimmed about 1 ½ inches long, in a stiffly spiked style. Both Chase and Seth loved it. They liked him as well. He is a lot of fun.

As we were following him to get the key to the rental property he called to tell us we were passing the barber shop he uses and Chase and Seth began to tease about going in to get their hair styled the same as him. Chase said, “I’m guessing they know him well enough to ask for a cut like his?” I told him to go in and ask for “The Pablo”.

It will be interesting to see how that turns out.
