It was foggy and nasty when I got up this morning, and was supposed to rain. So I took some wood to the house, then spent a while organizing my storage units. I am pretty happy with how they are looking now. My dad called from Southeastern Salvage in Nashville to let me know about some countertops and flooring that looked good. He bought both and will bring them up next week. I also took some trash to the dump and a bicycle to the thrift store. I picked up some books at the library for a dollar and some lunch at Piggly Wiggly. I also went by the bank. After lunch and some computer work I drove down to Home Depot in Manchester, then Lowe’s in Tullahoma before arriving at home. It was fun to play with Luke before dinner. He was a bit of a handful at bed time though. I took over after Liz got super frustrated, and I didn’t leave his room until after nine.

This morning we decided to go to a new playground because Luke wanted to kick the soccer ball, and this park had ball fields. Unfortunately it was gated without explanation. So we found another park nearby that had two great play areas and Luke had a lot of fun. Since we forgot to pack a snack we went to a coffee shop in Mount Pleasant. It was a really neat spot and we enjoyed relaxing and talking with the proprietor. We decided to do some scenic driving so Luke could nap, so we passed through some pretty areas west of town. This afternoon we just hung out around the house. Later Liz went to the grocery store and Luke and I played soccer on the back deck. Liz is putting him to bed now although he seems pretty amped up. Soon I will drive to Monteagle.

This morning I organized my car a bit and then went to the dump, lumberyard, and bank before meeting with the plumber at the house. I did some more organizing at the site but didn’t get a whole lot done overall. Back at the cottage I started messing with receipts and will take them home to work on this weekend. I drove home via Fayetteville and arrived just as Liz was getting off work. We decided to go into town for First Friday. We got dinner from food trucks and walked around a little bit. The weather was pleasant and it was nice to be out. The only downside was that Luke ended up going to bed very late.
