Summer's lease hath all too brief a date
Something like that, anyway, right? Yes, I COULD Google it, but I'm too busy typing to YOU right now. :)
Yesterday we made our annual pilgrimage to the fabled city of Pueblo, seeking back to school clothes for Caro and Mike. We got pretty lucky in the sales, I am happy to report, which made up for the extra cost of the gas. Also got to eat out at the Golden Corral, my total fave buffet-style restaurant, and since it was a Saturday, they had steak AND shrimp! Yes!
Today Caro is at school, doing as much last minute prep as she can manage before the middle school hordes converge in the am. Mike is at Nigel and Damaris's, where he and Nigel are putting together a model car. I know most likely it is Nigel doing the work and Mike stopping by now and then to check on how the project is going, because Mike has already mastered the advanced skill of delegating. Not to mention micro-managing his 'employees', as I was reminded of just yesterday as he explained to me repeatedly how to drive the car correctly. *sigh*
I'm at home doing my usual routine of part computer stuff, part pecking away at the clearing and rearranging part. While he was here this morning, Super!Nigel carried a big wooden cabinet up out of the basement for us, which we think we will add a closet rod to (I thought there already was one, but see how I am?) and put by the back door for coats and also extra storage.
As I have been saying for twenty years now, with a little more work, we will have us a show place!
