Asher and Ada visit

It rained off and on from 2-3 am with quite the lightening however when checked this am there was only 1/2/10th but that was ok. However it did not fare well for a white dog who returned after I let her out later with fresh crap on her neck. I was washing it off when Amanda dropped the kids off. By drop, it was literally at the gate as not wanting to upset Archer who was to go for a doctor check up. Sadly he was still upset. The dogs and I met the kids on the road and hiked back to the house where we had snacks then ventured out for an adventure. S finished his yard road scaping as am plan. We met AJ at the road and had Archer hike back to the house with us. Not sure that made his day though as he has a fear of big dogs so wanted to be packed.

pretzel eating contest with no hands

first attempt not so good, next he got up

then there was the chasm leap that he made but did plant his face in the bale as he landed

looking for a hiking stick, how about this? no it is covered in sap... yep it is on my hands now

A short visit with Aj and snuggles with Aislyn and they were off for home at 1 for lunch and naps.

I posted the white dresser blog post live before a quick bite to eat. Then it was time to scoop some more poop before getting back to the navy milk painting project.

The table had 2 coats then black wax added

The gravel guys arrived to put one load from the first curve to the house and dumped a small pile for the sidewalk fellows lined up for next week. Of course they all had to have beers and a visit.

Once on their way, S quickly leveled out any thick areas they dropped with his box grader then made a trip to town to get gravel for around the island. He returned with ice caps which was nice as my garage was 26 even with doors open and it only was 25 at the highest outside.

I had planned to use navy fusion paint but went with the same navy milk paint for the sofa table to applying 2 coats and leaving to dry over night and gave the table another coat on the top

Another forecast thunderstorm built up and rolled in soon after S got back home dropping another 1/2/10th in short order. He was skyping with Blair in Barbados while I tried to update things and answer sales emails but the weather had the internet very sketchy.

For a late supper after 8 I heated up the meat pies and oh were they yummy. S says they are just like shipwreck, one of his favorite meals. I liked the steak and cheese best but the hamburger cheese was good too. Eating 2 for me was too filling and I was stuffed for the rest of the night. S just hit the big brown to stretch out claiming he was feeling just right.

We were just finishing up the movie When the Bough Breaks when Britt got home at midnight after staying in the city after work.
