I didn’t get up too early again this morning. After breakfast my dad and I went to the house where we worked for a little while. He caulked around the doors and put in the last of the bathtub surround tiles while I continued to clean up the site, mostly by loading cedar boards onto the trailer. We left and returned to the cottage, where Liz and Luke had just arrived.
It was great to see them. Everybody drove over to campus, to Lake Cheston, where Luke was able to play in the sand and the water. He seemed to have a good time. We picked up lunch in Sewanee and ate it back at the cottage. I had a black bean burger and sweet potato fries. Delicious. There was also fresh cantaloupe. After eating Liz and I went to see the house and also the tiny house development in Tracy City. Luke stayed with my parents at the cottage and had a lot of fun with them. Liz and Luke left around three and my dad and I returned to the house.
We hung cabinets in the bathrooms, then a severe thunderstorm rolled in. So instead of marking lots on the new property we returned to the cottage. My parents left about six and I chilled for a bit before deciding to go out.
I drove to the Templeton Library but didn’t get out, then headed on to Lake O’Donnell where I set up to photograph fireflies again. That was going well until I noticed the full moon rising over the lake. So I went and photographed it for a bit. Next I decided to drive to the Green’s View overlook where I sat and watched fireworks going off all over the valley. That was pretty cool to see and I attempted to photograph it as well. Back at the cottage I transferred my pictures to the computer and messed around with them a bit.
