Not much in the way of politics today. After morning coffee, I threw my two year old in the car seat and I was off to the cemetery to meet a customer. She was an elderly lady who I had apparently met with a couple of years ago, but she never went ahead with the work.

Now she was ready to go and we met at the cemetery where I followed her out to the grave site so she could show me her family's monument. I normally don't meet people at the cemetery just for lettering work, but that's what the customer wanted, so...

Nice lady. Frail. The stone was in from the road and down the a hill a bit, so I had to give her my arm and hope she didn't fall. Took us just a few minutes to get down what she wanted, then back to the cars.

I was just sitting back down when she signaled me. I got out and went over to her car - she locked her keys in the car. Oops. Before she called AAA, I asked her if she was sure the doors were all locked. Did a little walk around. Her driver's side window was down. Oops again.

Home later. Time to inflate more insane yard toys. Got the second pool on this page - the one with the water-spouting palm trees and the built-in slide. Also got a pool like the whale at the top, but it's a dinosaur that shoots water out of its mouth. Crazy stuff, and only $20 each. Advice to anyone purchasing inflatable toys: Buy the electric inflator thingy. Why I didn't purchase an electric inflator thingy long ago (only $12!) is way, way beyond me.

I remember when the big fun was a hard plastic circular pool (It had fish pictures stamped on the bottom!) and a lawn sprinkler. Now you can inflate a virtual amusement park inside 10 minutes. The play group is going to be insane tomorrow.
