Last night during dinnner I received a text, and although I know how much Darryl hates it when I use my phone at dinner, I had to answer it. Because, you see, I was expecting this one, but I couldn't tell Darryl about it. His best friend Tim was making a surprise visit down from San Francisco, and he was texting me to tell me he was about 15 minutes away.
Tim had contacted me earlier in the week to see if it would be a good idea to come down and surprise Darryl. I realized that it was perfect timing. Now in the second week of construction, Darryl is going a little crazy dealing with the house, the contractors, the dog, the heat, you name it. So I thought it would be great for Tim to come down and give Darryl a reason to leave it all for a few hours.

Sure enough, Darryl couldn't have been happier. His face was a picture - the smile was as broad as the hole in our yard. They stayed up late talking and laughing, then spent today watching a movie and cooking. Definitely exactly what the doctor ordered for Darryl.

| Trying to get some perspective of the footprint of the new addition. The wood is the frame for the new foundation, which will be poured tomorrow. |
Meanwhile, this morning, the inspector came to look at the foundation frame and gave us his blessing to pour concrete. So tomorrow morning, the concrete truck will be pulling up outside the Vinyard house and spewing its contents into our back yard. Please cross your fingers that we don't get another freak rain storm. Hopefully tomorrow's blog will have some good photos of the big pour (concrete, not rain).
