Thomas loves fast sets of wheels and their multi car garage in Germany is filled with all sorts of fun machinery. Well, Thomas also bought a Harley motorcycle and keeps it at Mom's place in Reno. Thus, the need to drop in this week. His bike needed a special tuning process and the place to have that done is about a mile from my house. So, Thomas made an appointment and they drove down from Reno on Thursday morning to make the special tuning appointment.

From there, they went grocery shopping for a nice BBQ dinner in exchange for the use of Humette and my guest room. Wonderful! We had a great diner of filet mignon, corn on the cob, green salad and fresh bread on the back deck. Ingrid also dropped in after work to say hello to Thomas and Susan again and to discuss visiting them during her next trip to Germany--although because of her diet, she did not fully partake of the BBQ feast.
I must admit, however, that the timing was not quite right. The Maids were supposed to be in on Wednesday and that would have been perfect because the house would have been immaculate. Unfortunately, I cancelled them because of my cold/flu and I did not want the task of preparing for them on Tuesday. Now, the place was presentable because of my clean up on Wednesday evening but it wasn't AAA rated! So, at some point during the evening, Susan grabbed my vacuum and worked on the dust bunnies!
Thomas, Susan and I, along with a bottle of wine (or was it two?) then finished the evening sitting in my dining room solving the problems of the world until the wee hours of the morning.
It was sooo good to see them! I hope his bike needs that tuning process frequently!
Thomas and Susan heading back to Reno on Friday morning! A Harley makes a lovely wake up call for the neighborhood! Fortunately, this was about 9:30 in the morning so it wasn't tooo bad.
