I heard from the mason this morning. He said he could come Saturday. So the wait continues. I did get more sand – 4740 pounds worth! The trailer is pretty much maxed out. I came home and loaded some of my cedar onto the flatbed trailer. I also hauled trash to the dump. LIz and Luke were at the doctor’s office, so they were surprised to see me when they returned.
The mason still didn’t show today. Emailed him again to see what’s up. So I spent much of the day splitting the last of the wood behind the house. It was a cloudy evening so I didn’t go out for sunset.
Well, the mason didn’t show today. Waiting to hear back from him what the deal is. I got all of the block moved into position, trimmed the tree roots under the foundation, and split a lot of the firewood behind the house. After work I went to the Templeton Library for sunset.
It took a bit of effort but we managed to visit another church this morning. It was an Episcopal church in downtown Columbia. We had a great experience, despite my getting the start time wrong so that we arrived a little late. The afternoon was pretty relaxing and now I am about to drive up to Monteagle.
Yes, that really is a place. It’s about 45 minutes west of us. They were having an Oktoberfest celebration today, so we decided to go. Despite the sun it was pretty breezy and chilly outside, so Luke was wearing several layers. The drive over was lovely and the festival was interesting. Most of downtown was blocked off, so walking around was nice. Lots of vendors selling junk, a loud band, and a cool car show. We found the bakers who normally sell at the Columbia farmer’s market and bought pretzels from them. We had a picnic lunch at a playground in town, then returned home via Summertown. That took a while since the “20 mile yard sale” was happening along that route. Back at the house we spent the afternoon playing, had dinner, then bath time.
