It was all work today, so our adventures were minimal. But midday we did get a chance to break over to JC Pizza and meet with Jennifer and Bart Housholder. This was a meeting that had its roots in October 2005, when we were in Jackson Center and blogged<\/a> that “JC Pizza is closed on Mondays.” <\/p>\n

About a year later, I got an email from Jennifer saying that next time we were in Jackson Center we should drop in. I wrote back and said we would. This week, I gave Jennifer advance warning we were coming, and so today when we walked in we got a smile from the lady behind the counter as she said, “You must be Emma, and you must be Rich, and you<\/em> must be Eleanor!” It was like coming to a familiar place at home. <\/p>\n

The pizza was good and so was the company. Charon and Alex came with us, and Jennifer came over to our table a couple of times to talk. Like a lot of people we meet, she told us we were doing the right thing by homeschooling. She homeschooled all of her kids for years, too, before going into the restaurant business.<\/p>\n

Since I was too busy running around all day with my laptop to carry my camera, I took no photos all day. But here are a few bonus shots from yesterday, when we were playing with fire at sunset.<\/p>\n

Charon spent a few hours today moving this blog over to WordPress software. We’ll be working together on Thursday to complete the transition, and with luck we’ll be running the new software by Thursday night. There are likely to be some differences in the blog for a while, until we work out the glitches, but I am looking forward to a lot of new capabilities that should make it more enjoyable for you to read.<\/p>\n

Tonight a couple showed up in the Terra Port with a new Airstream 25FB, and managed to lock themselves out of it. For a moment it looked like they might end up in a motel for the night, but I was able to slide in through a storage compartment door and push up the bed from the underside to gain entry. They’ll be getting a couple spare sets of keys tomorrow — one of the things that was on their list anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
