Party projects.

We had Luke’s birthday party yesterday. 20 plus kids, but it went pretty well. We spent a lot of time preparing and it all went really well. This week I built a couple of things for the party – a mobile sand box and a table and bench set. The latter was finished about 20 minutes before the party started.

Eclipse.

Things went quite a bit differently than expected, but in the end I was able to make a brief trip up to Wickliffe, Kentucky to see the total solar eclipse. My location was a bit underwhelming, but the eclipse itself was still magical. It was a three and a half hour drive each way. Fortunately I was able to leave before traffic became terrible.
