Deck Chair Work, Continued
With a lot of rain in the forecast, Liz moved her deck chair refinishing work indoors – and set up shop in the garage.

Liz, deep at work in refinishing and touching up the deck chairs.
At Costco, comparing various vases. Surprisingly, there was a lot of color and size variation. You wouldn’t think it, Costco being known for a place that has numerous mass-produced items. But we dug through a lot of vases here, trying to find two that actually matched one another.
Liz and I headed out today for a run, despite a bit of rain. Here she is, prepped for the weather (and me, less so).
Tonight we all went out to attend a concert that Audrey was a part of – a medley of Broadway tunes, performed by several different musical groups in her school.
In the far corner, just underneath the deck, there was a nest of young birds. And of course, both Liz and Audrey were very concerned about their well being during our construction.
Today, the kids got involved in the process. Here’s Liz, showing Paige and Audrey how to work the circular saw… and how to cut down some of the debris we were getting rid of (we were throwing the old boards from the second floor, down to the backyard).
We ended up needing a lot more than what was available (Kirt and went through a lot of boards, and discarded plenty). Ended up getting a guy with the forklift, to bring down a few fresh bundles.
Overwhelming is definitely a word that comes to mind, when thinking about tile options.
Tonight, we arrived in the nick of time… and discovered we mostly had the entire theater to ourselves. The kids got pretty excited, and scrambled down to the front to get seats closer to the screen.
Got a tour of Costco today. I know I’ve been to one before, but it’s been ages. Turns out, shopping for a family of three kids means that buying in bulk makes a lot of sense (both pragmatic and financial).
Nearby, between the restaurant and our car, we passed by a Puttshack. We saw what looked to be an indoor minigolf course, and decided to try our luck.
Despite how late it was, and despite how tired we were, Liz and I figured on stopping in to see if they had any open slots. Luckily for us, they did.
Liz had a busy day of errands today. In the midst of things, she stopped by next door to finalize some window repair, for our neighbor Carol Jean.
In a silly turn of events, while we were having new windows installed at our house, Liz was over at our neighbor’s house, helping to repair a window.
For her part, she was downtown for her migraines. She’s tried a lot of medication that hasn’t worked all that well. So the recommendation was for her to try an intravenous infusion treatment.
I got a call on my phone a bit after her appointment started. It turned out, she started to have an allergic reaction. And they immediately stopped the treatment, and gave her a combination of a lot of Benadryl and a steroid.
