Ruby Trip - 2013

Day 5 - Saturday - July 20

The old house

The day was grey and cloudy.  Grandpa went outside to work on his new house for a while and promptly, out of the habit of living by himself, and without thinking, locked us in the house.  We hollered and finally knocked on the door to make Thorak, my dad's dog, bark and finally gained Grandpa's attention to let us out.

Not much happened during the day, other than getting a load of laundry done.  

Charlie and his barge showed up that evening.

Petey takes a ride on a forklift

Charlie's little dog, Petey, use to the motion and bustle of large machinery moving, loading, and unloading supplies from the barge ran around and occasionally hopped on the smaller loader for a ride.  If it were my dog, I'd be near a heart-attack. 

Later we all helped with a little more work on my dad's house.
