We’ve got some work scheduled for the second floor, involving newer windows, as well as replacing the old/worn door to the second floor porch. In preparation, we need to provide some of the hardware we want used on these newer pieces (we’re having several windows and a door re-made entirely).
Back home, I get a text from her – and it’s a selfie! With her and our neighbor, Anna!
Turns out, they were both on the same flight (leaving Midway, arriving Georgia)… and only ran into one another afterwards, soon after departing the plane.
After work, Liz and I headed to Journeyman Distillery, in Valparaiso. We were meeting up with family to celebrate Julie’s 70th birthday, at a unique local venue.
We found ourselves with an open Saturday. And Liz felt ok enough to work outside, so we tackled one of the remaining steps for the fence: applying the upper and lower trim.
Here’s the same bit of drywall, looking at it from the bedroom. When we first put up all this drywall (the blue stuff is soundproof drywall), the idea was that we’d eventually cut through and make this an entry into the closet. That day, finally, is today.
We’ve got an eventful weekend, with a bit of prep work to do before we have drywallers coming on Monday to tackle a good part of the second floor. Before they get here, we have some fine-tuning to do.
Liz and I had some supplies to get for house work this weekend. And rather than go out tomorrow, we figured on doing our errands tonight so that we could start without delay, tomorrow.
So: another Friday Night Home Depot Date Night! And all the excitement and glamor that entails.
This was a fun moment, from a few weeks back. Prior to our Scotland trip, Liz and I were busy planning and also trying to do the basic things like get groceries and food to keep us alive, prior to our vacation.
This is a bit out of order, but sharing a few photos from before our trip to Scotland. I was rushing a bit before our departure, and wanted to see about some clothes for hiking.
Though we just got back from Scotland, there was a Drammers event that featured a distillery that Liz is fond of: Ardnamurchan. So we signed up and headed out to join some fellow whisky lovers for a Chicago tasting.
A few hours and a super sketchy Uber ride later… we arrived at The Vaults (another Scotch Malt Whisky Society location, this time in Leith).
Back outside, mingling with the Muggles.
Our tickets included a bottle of wine and some popcorn to share.
The movie we saw was The Roses (I didn’t quite remember that it was a remake, until after we got back in the States).
A big travel day for us, leaving Speyside and trekking to Edinburgh for our last city and stay, before heading home.
Our big event for the day wasn’t until later on: a tasting a one of our favorite distilleries, Glendronach.
