Mmm. Meat grinding.


and more meat grinding

This past weekend we went up to Prince George to visit some family, they were having a 25th wedding anniversary and vow renewal ceremony. It was pretty much a family reunion, and we had a blast. Cade got passed around a lot, which was nice to give me a break, and we shared the camper with J's parents. It was a great 2 days of catching up and hanging out, and I was really glad we got to go. The drive wasn't even too bad.

Christine and Jeannie came and stayed with us two weekends in a row (before and after horse camp), and it was nice to be able to visit and show off Cade's new feats since Christmas. We had a lovely Sunday of visiting, naps, and Tony Roma's together.

I've had several painting sessions in the basement, some with friends to help, some without. It's going to take longer than I'd hoped it would, but it's definitely coming along nicely. I've done all the easy parts, and am getting close to the point where I'll have to do the harder things: touch-ups on each color transition (why did I pick so many colors?), painting the entryway (I'll need to use a huge ladder, yuck), and re-installing the shower (coming along nicely, but just a lot of picky details left). I guess I can't complain too much, since it's coming along nicely, but it's always easier for me to do the sweeping changes that look like a huge improvement than it is to do the little changes that don't get noticed once they're done properly.

I went to see Eclipse with Lyndsay the other week. It was... about as good as the others, to me. Everyone else I talked to thought this was the best movie of the 3, but I think the novelty of the series is wearing off for me. It does give me a good conversation starter for people I don't have much else in common with, though!

Anyway, Jer's home and I'm heading off to veg for awhile. Ciao!
