No surfing today. Zoe picked me up at 10 this morning and we went over to Redmond to pick up her mother. We swung by the Maltby Cafe for lunch and headed back to Whidbey Island for the final walk-through inspection of Gerry's new home. Stopped by Whidbey Telephone to sign her up for phone and Internet service and arrived at her new house in Freeland at 4:00. She hadn't seen it (except for the many photos Zoe sent) since before the wallboard was put up. She loved it.

Unfortunately the woman who we were to meet for the inspection never showed up. She did have a pretty good excuse though. Her son had fallen about 25 feet and crushed one of his feet a couple of days ago. She had been late leaving a hospital appointment for him to meet us. They will have to do surgery on the foot. It should be OK.

Then I drove Gerry back to Redmond and then back to the Island. Four ferry rides today. Got back after 9:00. It's been a long day.

The inspection is on again for tomorrow and we will be moving Gerry's stuff in, hopefully, tomorrow night starting with the stuff in the van I have been driving around since Sunday. We should have her moved in Sunday. Correction: We will have her moved in on Sunday.

This is slowing everything down. It's worth it.
