It was cold this morning, but not miserable. I took the flatbed trailer and lumber to the site. Unfortunately the frozen and slick ground prevented me from making it all the way up the driveway, but I got close enough. I sorted through a lot of junky boards in order to get the good ones for the window trim. I was at a bit of a stopping point, so I headed home and arrived just before dinner. It was great to see Liz and Luke. I’ll leave early in the morning to return to the Mountain.
Luke woke up at the crack again this morning and was ready for action. I headed to Kroger for some groceries and resisted the urge to buy any tasty treats. We made it to the Episcopal church for a second time. It was nice, and Luke received a blessing during communion. This afternoon Luke had an early nap and then we played a lot. We also made a little activity board for him, featuring little things from Home Depot. I hope he will enjoy it.
This morning I poured footers for the front porch, hauled trash to the dump, and loaded a bunch of leftover and scrap wood onto the flatbed trailer. There is a lot of good wood left over, and I am excited for the possibilities of building things with it. After lunch I walked to the military vehicle museum next door to the cottage. They have some pretty cool items. I would like to return soon but they might be closing for the season. After cleaning the cottage I hit the road and arrived home around 3:30. The drive was uneventful. I spent the afternoon bringing in stuff from the garage, working on the computer, and playing with Luke.
I ran a bunch of errands this morning, then prepared dinner in the slow cooker. I miss cooking and need to get a new slow cooker for the cottage. Around the middle of the day I drove up to Franklin to pay the framers. I read to Luke a lot this afternoon and played with him. After dinner and Luke’s bed time I returned to Monteagle.
