It's getaway day for Virg and Steve

Virg headed north in his big ol' Cadillac early this morning; he'll be in Albuquerque for breakfast, no doubt. Steve is flying home on Northwest; Kathleen drove him to a shuttle stop on I-10 this morning; he'll be back in Minnesota this afternoon.
Kathleen fetched an Asian family-style dinner for a getaway supper last night and was accused of celebrating their departure. Not true. We very much enjoy our time with Stan's brothers this week and feel blessed to have them in our lives.
Stan stayed behind this morning to wait for Mario, who was to be here at 9 a.m. to finish installing a door for us. A crew has been working on it for a couple of days, we will post the result tonight.
The boys were comforted by word that the cold snap in Minnesota is breaking. Hope that's true.
Meanwhile, Kathleen and Stan will tackle the spare bedroom; we do a project every year, and this should be fairly easy. Stan already made some dentil crown moulding from some medium density fiberboard (MDF). Now we have to decide how far down the walls to mount it. We'll post some progress if it occurs.
