Landing Wall, Prep
Measuring once, cutting twice. Wait… strike that. Reverse it.

Breakfast with Alexandra, Lisa, and Jake
Post-meal, we got some drinks and hung out a bit with Jake. Nice chance to see some old friends, and to do a bit of catching up.
Drammers Club: Arran Tasting
That’s… a lot of bottles. In addition to offerings from Arran, tonight we were also able to try out several bottles from Lagg (a recent/new distillery from Arran, that was built on the south side of the Isle of Arran).
Asheville, Day 3: Fae Nectar, Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, Oak and Grist Distillery, Cultivated Cocktails
A particularly sad spot – the “Rainbow bridge,” where owners attached dog collars for their dogs, who have passed away.
Asheville, Day 2: Grove Arcade, Biltmore
The bulk of our day was spent exploring Biltmore.
A Game of Monikers
It got a bit… shouty. And a lot loud. And a lot competitive. But was as raucous and as fun as I hoped it would be. Really a fun, fun game all around.
Tricia Returns
Back home – Tricia is back home! And hanging out with everyone in the front yard.
Painting and Planting
Liz outside, adding more plants to the front yard.
Planting and Deck Chairs
Newly refinished deck chairs.
Shower Demo, Day 1
Demo begins. This stuff is heavy – and the tile is very sharp. I was able to peel it off in sections, but each piece had some significant heft. There was a lot of huffing and puffing, as I hauled each of these large pieces down a flight of stairs, across the front yard, and up the driveway to the Bagster.
Dinner with the Ford Kids
While Liz and I have been in Georgia, we’ve done a lot of the cooking – making meals, some involved, some easy.
We’ve stepped into the suburban tempo of living in a house full of kids, who are in both high school and middle school (and juggling part-time jobs) – with all the activity and chaos that entails.
Powerwashing, Front and Back
We got to meet one of Tricia’s neighbors, Lindsey, who was kind enough to lend us their powerwasher. Which we put to good use, today.
Running at Stone Mountain Park, Belated Birthday Date Night
Nothing like having a full day of running, cocktails, and shopping… and ending it with pasta.
I guess the only thing better: ending the evening with an affogato.
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.
Deck Chair Work
Liz, deep at work in refinishing and touching up the deck chairs.
