Sunday: at our place

People came over to our place today so Doug and Heather could see it. We played Life, had some spaghetti, watched a movie. Good times.

And a cute one from Friday

Saturday: a good day

Today our Bible Study was hosting a garage sale/flea market to raise some money, so we went over there to help out for a few hours. It turns out that Ben is really, really good at getting people to take things they only sort-of want. It was a lot of fun to watch him give people good deals and get rid of stuff so that we didn't have to deal with it later. He also managed to sell two wingback chairs that were in great condition but were...pink. They started out the morning at $45 and ended up leaving for $5, but everyone was happy because that was a large thing that we now didn't have to deal with afterwards.


Then we went over to Dusty and Laura's to grill and play poker. It got rather hilarious at times. I think I had tears of laughter 3 or 4 times.

Thursday: woo-hoo

I'm not working tomorrow, which is rather exciting. I don't even feel guilty because there isn't a lot of stuff on my to-do list.

Doug and Heather are here for the weekend which is one reason I'm not working tomorrow. I expect a semi-lazy morning and then we'll head over to see them.

I took these pictures a while ago, but they're true almost every morning. They are little spider webs that are in the grass. I don't recall ever seeing this before in the places I lived, and for sure not as many as we have. They're actually kind of cute.

Tuesday: croquet

Today we had people over from Bible Study. The most exciting part is that we "used" our lawn for the first time and played croquet. I'm not sure I've ever played before, but the slope and the divets made for an interesting game.

Monday: new work

Today I didn't do as much with the project I've been working on for months. It wasn't completely gone, but significantly less than normal. So I got to work on some new things and things that I've been putting off for a while, which was a lot of fun.

Weekend: weekendish

Oh, lots of things and not much happened this weekend. :) We meet our neighbors down the hill from us a little bit more and chatted with them for quite a while. We cleaned/organized the basement so it looks a lot better. We ordered a toolbox/workbench thing. I didn't come close to finishing all my chores.
