Wow. What a week. Some jobs require more work than others. This one in
Grand Junction got all my energy. Hot too, over a hundred every day. Hot
everywhere except maybe Seattle.
We did get to meet up with Matt, Kari and Alex on Friday, and a visit with
them on Saturday morning before we left. Headed south to Cortez for the
night on Saturday. I think it was brother Tom who liked the KOA in Cortez.
We stayed there for the first time, and we like it too. Nice place. Very
friendly people. Close in. If we get a job in Cortez, we'll stay there.
Moved on south and east to Las Vegas, New Mexico. We'll be here for a week
with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Matt may have to contribute another story. We got a call Saturday after we
left. They put Alex down for a nap in the fifth wheel while they were
outside. Door closed and air conditioning on in the heat. Alex gets up
from his nap when he's done. They hear him moving around inside so they go
to check on him. The door is locked.
"Alex, did you lock the door?" "uh-huh."
"Alex, can you unlock the door?" "uh-huh."
"Alex, unlock the door." It goes on. Earlier, while they were driving,
they discovered the red latches on the emergency exit window had been
undone. They had to stop and secure the flapping window. Now, could they
get him to unlock something? Anything? Not a chance. Took fifteen minutes
to regain control, well as much control as is possible over a two-year old.
