Yipee! H called me and asked me to come over and have lunch with him. He said that he might have to break to go back and load trucks if they came in, but that I could still eat and watch. He said he would come back if he could.
That is exactly what happened. (The equipment is so expensive that it only sits still if the trucks that the excavator is loading are out on a dump run). The other guys on his crew were still there eating so it was fun.
Also, another "small world" happening....the dad of the EA works for the engineering/construction firm that is working on the inside of this building. He came out and sat with us. Gave me a big rib cracking hug and told me how much he and his W are looking forward to H and I coming up for our visit this weekend. We will be golfing together.
It has been over a year since I have been up there... about the time the EA with his daughter began. He is the only one that has ever apologised to me for this mess. He felt that he had helped set it up because he had asked my H (as the friends we were) to keep involved with his D and her kids because her H was not being good to them at the time. (His opinion) When the EA was uncovered he was as shocked as I was.
Previously H had told me that he would NEVER take me up there again. Now he has invited me!
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
