Last night I arrived at the cottage around 11:30 and slept in a little this morning. It was rainy and nasty, so I focused on organizing my receipts, running errands, and doing other work on the computer. This afternoon it got even colder and very foggy. I made a bean dish in the slow cooker. Tonight I’m just looking at auctions online, and will watch the latest episode of Magnum PI shortly.
New adventures.
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.
Roll Tide!
This morning Luke and I played after breakfast while Liz went shopping. Then we all went to the farmers market before lunch. After lunch we went for a drive and after a visit to Kroger came back to the house to play some more. I loosely followed the Alabama game on my computer. After dinner we went to the Christmas parade downtown. Luke really enjoyed that. He was pretty tired tonight and fell asleep quickly.
Friday, with a twist.
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.
Bonkers night, normal day.
At about three this morning Luke woke up all out of sorts and he didn’t calm down until after four. Fortunately he slept in a little bit. I took him to school and then returned home to get a few things before driving to the Mountain with a stop at Home Depot in Manchester. I also stopped for lunch in Pelham. At the job site I did a bit of organizing and prepared the porch ceilings for painting. It wasn’t as productive a day as I would have liked, but we are still moving forward.
