Auction fever.
It was inspection day at Ritchie Brothers in Lebanon. I had my eye on several things and it was good to check them out in person. The auction is tomorrow.
AI to the rescue.
Added landscaping to a couple of my house designs.
Puzzlemaster.
We recently ordered a four pack of 500 piece puzzles, and Luke has now done three of them. We stayed up a little late to finish one this evening.
First rain in a while.
We woke up to a downpour, and that altered the trajectory of our day. I went to Kroger first thing for a few groceries, and after breakfast we all went to the farmers market for a while. My parents were due to spend the afternoon with us, but we postponed to tomorrow.
The days blur together.
Luke is still enjoying school. I am trying to get my next projects lined up. We are walking as a family after school and working on projects.
Going to school, looking for land, sickness.
Life is rolling along. Luke is still liking school and yesterday I went to talk to his class about building houses. We are looking for more land to move to, so this afternoon we drove by three different tracts for sale. Liz has strep throat and has been taking it easy the past couple of days.
Trying again.
I’m going to have another go at writing here every day. It should be easier now that I am back at home and connected to the internet. There is a lot going on in our lives and I would like to document it. I also need to start taking pictures of Luke again. I have really tapered off. The weather is finally cooling here and we plan on an active fall.
Current project.
I’m not sure if it will come to fruition, but here is a house I am designing. One bedroom, for an older lady at church.
Routines.
We are finally getting into the swing of things. Dropping off and picking up Luke from school is now going much more smoothly. He likes for Liz and I to alternate days on who drops him off. On my drop off days I try to go for a hike at Yanahli afterwards. Once sufficiently sweaty I usually return to the house and do chores such as cleaning the kitchen. Next I run errands or work on things around the house like overhauling the garage and my office. Then I start “work”. Recently that has been preparing a house design and budget to potentially build a home for a lady at church. Today I am updating my business website. After lunch I usually prepare a dish in the slow cooker and then work until it is time to pick Luke up from school. Liz and I try to go together to get him, then we all go to Yanahli. Liz and I walk while he usually rides in the stroller. Back at the house Luke and I play while Liz works some more. We all eat dinner together and then try to work on a puzzle for a little bit together. Next we clean up and read books, then Luke has a bath. I do some computer stuff but try to finish by eight. Then I read some.
