My dad and I got an earlier start this morning and headed to the house. He worked on cabinets while I started cleaning things up and organizing. Eventually we both cleaned, until the place looked halfway decent. Then we went and organized the storage unit. Early next week I will move all of the plumbing and electrical fixtures to the house. After my dad headed home I ran some errands, made a few phone calls, showered, ate lunch, then hit the road. I drove to Columbia via Fayetteville and Lewisburg. My first stop was The Next Door, where I ordered new patio doors. Then I went to Kroger before going home. It was great to see Luke and we played with blocks a lot. We had dinner together, then after bath Luke went to bed. He was in a great mood all afternoon and evening.
Loving the lovely weather.
Luke woke up pretty early this morning. He was in a good mood though, and ready to play. After breakfast and morning snack we went on a walk at the nature park. Then lunch, nap, and another walk at the nature park. We played with blocks while Liz prepared dinner. Soon I will drive to the Mountain, where it’s supposed to be rainy all week.
Busy day with Luke.
Luke slept great last night and when he woke up Liz made us all breakfast cookies. So that was a great start to the day. After playing a bit we went for a hike at the nature park, which was a lot of fun despite it being a little on the chilly side. Luke did a lot of walking and dragging branches. After stopping at Kroger for gas we went home for lunch. Liz drove up to Nashville to visit a friend and Luke took a two and a half hour nap. I also tried to nap, but was unsuccessful. Once he woke up we read, built a tower with blocks, played with playdough, and ate a snack, not in that order. Once Liz returned he had dinner, bathed, and went to bed, in that order. Now I am just doing some things on the computer.
Unexpected snow.
Well I woke up to some snow this morning. I had no idea it was coming. Not a lot, but enough to make things rather pretty. After doing some stuff around the cottage I went to the Goat Market, filled up my car with gas, hooked up a trailer at the cottage, and headed to Columbia. I went to Harbor Freight first and bought a tarp, then stopped by The Next Door and got the set of double doors that didn’t fit into the Uhaul trailer previously. Then I went home. Luke had just finished up lunch, and so we played a little bit before his nap. I had to go to see the accountant for a while in downtown Columbia, then I went up to Discount Tire in Spring Hill. As a birthday present my parents gave me a new set of tires, and while waiting for those to be installed I walked to Wal-Mart. It was a nice store, but the layout was unfamiliar, so the shopping was a little slow. After my car was ready I drove home. We had guests over this evening, a couple we met at the farmer’s market. We had dinner after Luke went to bed, and stayed up until 10:30 chatting. Quite late for us!
Home a day early.
I got to the house about eight this morning and started putting down more flooring. I manged to finish the bedrooms and the closets and got a bit more done in the living room. Then I installed shelving in the closets. Around 11:30 I hauled trash and cardboard to the dump, then went to the cottage for lunch. I had prepared a dish in the slow cooker this morning. After eating I drove down to Cowan to pick up a Uhaul trailer then drove on to Columbia where I picked up most of the interior doors. The large double door didn’t fit, so I will have to return with my flatbed. I came home and it was great to see Luke. We played a bit before dinner and read a little afterwards. In the morning I’ll go pick up cabinets and return to the mountain. Hopefully it will be a productive day.
