What's happening in your life this weekend?
Unpacking books and putting them on the new bookshelves! Then getting other locals to take our boxes and moving paper.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Enjoying our last day with ND's family and my mom in Montana before we head home tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.
Mmmmm, bookshelves!
It is so lovely that your mother was able to join you in Montana, Pix. I hope it was renewing being surrounded by love and beautiful countryside.

Made it through the in-laws' visit.

Woo! Was wondering if you were going to need help with body disposal.

Good to know, Dana.
Sounds like a lovely day, Laura.
I hope your and ND's time in Montana was a delight.
I had a great dinner with some friends last night -- we all used to work in a law firm together and hang out as regular friends, too, in the early nineties. One of them was a newly minted lawyer at the time, and the two others eventually decided to do the same.
We started a tradition of going out to dinner for our birthdays way back then, would do teas, and we had a fun holiday shopping day thing we did, all kinds of things. We just really got along so well, and we LASTED. Quite amazing when I think about it.
There was probably a ten year lag where we more or less fell out of touch (and I wasn't in the area), but we got the band back together when I moved back to VA in 2018, and it's like old times, if less frequent. A little challenging during hospitalization and pandemic, but we were all there when the tides rolled back. Good friends, man. The universe has been exceedingly generous to me in that regard, and that's huge.
Today is lounging, reading, a little cleaning. We might get ice ream out later.

That's so great! I've had some of that with reconnecting with college friends through my alumni group. New friendships are wonderful, but renewed friendships are also fantastic with extra years of depth.

Indeed! It's wonderful that you have been able to stay connected.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just got back from following Mr. S around as he rode his bike. It's a bit hot out there, and I am quite sweaty.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been pressure washing years of grunge off the deck (which is also the front porch). It was black and dark green with mold and I-don’t-know-what-all and is now looking like actual wood. Love using the pressure washer, which is loud and powerful and makes all the yuck disappear.
I actually like watching pressure washing videos on YouTube to chill out sometimes, so it’s extra fun doing it myself.
