Terry, Terry, Terry

Today at lunch we met our third Terry in two days. He was a manager of Upstream Brewery and came by to see how lunch had gone and how our waiter had met our needs. It seems that he has been about nine years in this country, having immigrated from Ireland, first settling in Chicago, and now more recently for the past two months, in Omaha. He still visits his family at least annually in Ireland but prefers living in this country. He particularly liked Chicago but is finding Omaha a friendly city as well.

Our second Terry is a service manager at Leach Campers and Sales where we are currently parked. When our house sold, we moved back into our motor home to begin our travels on the road again after a four year absence from wandering. There seemed to be some shake-down concerns, so we brought the motor home to Leach, where we have had work done in the past. Terry felt very sorry for us, two very tired people, and arranged for us to stay with our motor home while it is being fixed. We have a key to the lot, so that we can come and go if there is an emergency, or if we just want to stay out past curfew, which is seven o'clock when the gates are closed. This morning we took all the people in the service department cinnamon rolls since they had suggested doughnuts yesterday when they were fixing up our stay. This seems to have sweetened up our stay and probably we can stay for the winter, but we would prefer to get on our way sometime soon.

When we went to sign our final papers on the sale of our house, you guessed it, Terry number three, took us through the paperwork. She was quite proficient at her job, if a bit vertically challenged, a nice way to say, short person. After a few pleasant minutes of writing our name in various places, we were on our way and back to finish cleaning out the house. By early afternoon the cleaning was complete, we were exhausted and ready to move on. You will be happy to note that since we already have a Terry on the Christmas list, we will probably not add the three new Terry's, although I do think that their presence on the list would enrich us, so maybe I should rethink...........
