Hot and busy Saturday.
We went to the greenway and farmer’s market first thing this morning. Then we raced up to the doctor’s office in Cool Springs. Luke had a few bug bites that Liz wanted to get checked out. It took a long time and we got back home for a late lunch. Then Luke had a nap. His only one of the day. This afternoon we went to the park in Spring Hill. Luke had lots of fun with his beach ball.
Finally Friday.
I started the day off with a little run/hike on the Perimeter Trail at Sewanee this morning. Then I stopped by the Goat Market before going down to Lowe’s in Kimball, via Tracy City and Jasper. I stopped by Foster Falls, but the parking lot was packed with a group that had just arrived, so I passed. After Lowe’s I returned to the cottage and started splitting and loading wood. The excavator called and said he could come dig out the footings, so I met him and knocked that out in a little over an hour. Back at the cottage I finished loading the trailer, packed my bags, and headed home. I made a couple of stops along the way – at the block dealer in Winchester and the grocery store in Chapel Hill. I arrived home around 4:50 and was able to read to Luke and play with him a bit.
Porta-potty, water, lake.
It was nice to wake up at home this morning and see Liz and Luke before going up the Mountain. Late this afternoon the plumbers called and said that they were coming to install the water spigot. I arrived and talked with them, and also saw that the porta-potty had been delivered, although placed in the wrong location. It was shaping up to be a lovely evening, so I went to Lake Dimmick for sunset. After taking pictures I met a guy who was the coach of the Sewanee rowing team. We chatted for a while before I returned to the cottage.
A year and a half!
After getting done what I needed to on the Mountain, I came home this afternoon. Luke is 18 months old today. It was great to see him and give him a little present, a huge Crayon full of Legos. He seemed to enjoy playing with them and spreading them around the house. It is still very hot so we didn’t go outside this evening. He only had one nap today which led to a slightly earlier bedtime. I’ll stay here tonight and return to the Mountain in the morning.
