DAY 14 - Building, Bratwursts, and Grandpa

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I just worked on the cat house all day today. Man, it's going slower than I had thought, building that cat house...It's nice that I can stop for a litle bit, and do something to make some extra bucks, it will help me out on my trip. I'm not sure how much she will pay me for doing it, but I am also enjoying building it. I like building things, it's a lot of fun to me.

The one things that's hard about building this in the location it is, is the fact that there is nothing but sand, and rocks everywhere, and no flat areas to measure and cut boards. That part is really annoying. Plus, Jude doesn't have all the right tools, so I'm having to improvise a little bit. That's okay though, I'll make it work.

We went over to my Aunt and Grandparent's house again tonight, and this time I had a really good conversation with my Grandparents. In particular, my Grandpa. We went back to his part of the house where he was showing me some of his pictures of his wife, my grandmother. He made a joke, and tricked me when he said, "You want to see a picture of my first wife?" and then he showed a picture of my grandmother. Tricky tricky, I got confused for a second and thought that he had been married twice, I thought, "In my 24 years of existence, Dad hasn't mentioned that once!" That's because Grandpa only had one wife.They had brats again today, and I think I ate 4 or 5 of them, they were so good.
