Luke and I went to the park in Spring Hill just after breakfast and stayed for nearly three hours. He played in the creek and saw lots of dogs walking by. So he had a wonderful time. After lunch we both napped. Liz got off work a little early, so when we woke up he had snack and we went to the nature park for a nice walk. Luke again had a great time. Upon returning I packed up the car and trailer in order to head to the mountain. We had dinner, Luke went to bed, Liz and I chatted for a bit, and now I am about to drive up to the cottage.

I didn’t go to bed until after three this morning, so it was a real struggle to get up when I needed to. It was rainy so Luke and I played indoors with Legos and read books. The morning actually went by surprisingly quickly. I napped when he did although I didn’t feel too rested after. This evening I went to Kroger. It wasn’t crowded at all.

It feels a bit surreal to be back in Monteagle. This morning I loaded my car, jumped it off, since the battery was dead, and greeted my parents who came down to look after Luke today. Then I drove to Lowe’s in Shelbyville where I picked up the rest of my bathtub tiles and a couple of other things. Next stop was the lumberyard in Winchester where I picked up my replacement window sashes. I took everything to the house and got it all unloaded before the rain started. Then I got an oil change, bought some food at Piggly Wiggly, and took a nap. After my nap I got a call from my neighbor in Columbia, Jerry, saying that he and his wife were in town and asking if I wanted to go out to dinner. We met at the Goat Market and were able to order and be seated before lots of people arrived. After leaving them I just came back to the cottage and worked on materials lists for the next house.
