HQ Secured

Last night around 7:30 in Scottsboro Alabama, Marcus, Dahnell and I secured our HQ for the summer. That basically means that we found someone to take us in for thirteen weeks. Her name is Karen Grisson. She lives on 324 Sharon Street in Scottsdale, AL ZIP: 35768-4205. Obviously, she is a really nice lady -- she took in three total strangers.

Right now we're still getting situated. We don't have a whole lot of space, but we don't really need it because we're not going to be here all that much. Work, work, work. That's is pretty much all that we're going be doing all summer long, and it pretty much sucks.
The room that we are staying in has a bunk bed, and the room is called "the dungeon" by the family, because it was a one car garage that was converted into an extra room for exercise equipment, TV, bunk beds, and a computer (with Internet! what a blessing!)
Karen has two kids. Her son is 19 years old and about to graduate from High School and attend University of Alabama. Her daughter is some younger High School age, but we don't remember what her age was. She also has tons of kids from the neighborhood coming in and out of the house all during the day. Luckily, it doesn't seem to happen all that much at night though.
There's more to tell, but I think that it will have to happen at another time.

Wow! Everything sounds realy exciting. It was sweet of Karen to take all three of you into her home. Does she feed you all of you too?

She doesn't feed us. At least she is not supposed to. So far I've fed her though. :)
I thought it might be nice to make a big dinner for the three of us and her and her kids.
It was cool, but with our schedule I won't be able to do it all that much -- if ever again.
