First thing this morning I drove up to Walmart for a printer, some birdseed, and a few other things. Liz and Luke made pancakes while I was away. After eating we went into town and rode his tricycle at Riverside and played in the splash pad before going for a walk around the downtown square. Back at the house we had lunch and Luke and I attempted naps. I was more successful, but later in the afternoon he put himself down for a nap. I did a little organizing in the garage while he slept, then we played a bit until dinner. After dinner we cleaned up which took a while and he had a bath. I left afterwards and drove up to the Mountain. It was an uneventful drive and fortunately not very rainy.

This morning after breakfast I went to Kroger with a shopping list from Liz. I messed around for a bit in the garage before Luke and I reinstalled an access panel on the side of the house. Then we went next door to chat with Mister Jerry until it started raining. We went inside just in time for lunch. I did some computer work then fell asleep for a bit. Upon waking Madeline had to leave early and so Luke and I played until Liz got off work. Then we all went to Riverside and Luke rode his tricycle all over. We picked up dinner in town and ate it at home. Despite my nap I am still tired and hope to go to bed early.

I was sluggish this morning but got to the job site at a reasonable time. I decided that the big posts would require a helper, so I focused on cleaning the sites and taking down the temporary porch supports. It felt good to be organized again. Next I drove down to Chapel Hill for another load of interior lumber. This afternoon I went to the Goat Market and chatted with Eric for a bit, and cleaned up the inside and outside of the cottage. I drove home this evening and the sky was lovely, although it did rain a bit. Luke was heading to bead when I arrived. Pre-school starts tomorrow and he is excited.
