Early start, nice weather.
Luke woke up about 4:15 this morning and didn’t want to go back to sleep. He took an early nap at eleven, and Liz and I napped too, although I was unable to sleep. We had a late lunch and then went to the park. It was nice to be outside and walking around.
A sunny (finally!), but not very productive day.
I went to the house this morning with the idea of finishing the ceilings. I turned on the power at the poll, but realized that the lights didn’t come on. That is because one of the breakers wouldn’t flip, and when I forced it everything stopped working. So no ceilings today. So instead I hauled trash to the dump and organized things a bit. I also picked up the hose to vent the bathroom fans with, and installed that. I hauled off some wood scraps as well. I went to Dollar General and bought some rope, which I used to secure the tarp on my trailer that was full of wood scraps. After showering I went by the bank and Goat Market, then cleaned the cottage and did laundry. Finally before leaving town I stopped by to see Debbie. We chatted for an hour or so, mostly about politics. The drive home was uneventful. It was great to see Liz and Luke when I arrived. We had a nice dinner together and then played with blocks for a little while.
Reading, preparing, hiking, driving, shiplapping.
Luke and I started off the day with a lot of reading. Liz brought out some of his older books that she had put away, and he really enjoyed seeing those again. Liz spent a lot of time packing and we did a lot of stuff to prepare for her parents coming this evening. Tomorrow she is going to Austin for a few days for work. After lunch we went on a nice hike at the nature park. Luke really enjoyed running around and picking up sticks. After his nap and a couple more books I drove up to the Mountain. I went to the job site and spent an hour and a half or so installing the last of the shiplap. Back at the cottage the propane tank is empty, so no heat, but fortunately it isn’t super cold tonight.
Still chilly, but making the most of it.
Luke didn’t wake up too early this morning, which was nice. After breakfast I went to Lowe’s (a bust), and Kroger (successful). Luke enjoyed helping me put away the groceries. We read and played a lot, and after his nap we went for a walk along the greenway. It was a bit cool, but we still had a nice time. After Luke went to bed I went to Home Depot for a couple of things.
