2017: Drove into Canyonlands and hiked out to the river confluence. Cool how they run into each other but you can still definitely see the different watts from the Green and Colorado rivers. Amazing landscape and beautiful area!
2018: Went to Durango Coffee for breakfast this morning. Nice start to the day!Then off to work for the day. Bill worked on the house offer and had somefollow up questions that Ashley and I bounced back and forth. Set up acontact with Bob at the bank, as well. Slow day at work. Ashley got offwork and picked me up and we headed straight up to the small group meeting.Ashley's headache got worse so we headed home pretty quickly and she wentstraight to bed while I looked over the offer paperwork.
2019: Slept better, if still not quite long enough to catch up. Work day as theframer for Robin's birthday day off. Then home and quick pasta for supper.Read for a short bit before bed.
2020: Fairly quiet day at home, but productive. Boxed up the store materials sothey're more contained in the basement. We switched around the bench andstroller so they take up less space and are also more accessible. Startedorganizing paintbrushes - they're spread all across the floor. Nailed thetrim in place on the stairwell - looks much better! Moved the motorcycleout of the garage, switched out the snow tires on the car. Cut down somescraps from the slash pile that were stained to match the stairwell wall tocover up the hole - just need to sand them down and stick them together tomake a solid panel from them. Ashley went to bed early and I stayed up todo dishes and feed Lily before heading to bed myself.
2021: Ashley and Lily went to the farm. I went into town and picked up materialsfor the chicken tractor. Home and started working - got the basic framingdone and installed a couple of roofing panels to get it solidly together.
2022: Lily woke early again - and slept poorly all night. Ashley went and sleptin the basement part-way through the night. Ashley went out for breakfastand a break while Lily and I stayed home in the morning. The day turned outreally great. We played in the yard, I made progress on the quail coops, wewent for a hike on one of the neighborhood trails (Lily spotted two lizardsas we went! One was perfect timing, Ashley told her to say if she saw one,she immediately said, quot there's onequot and she was right!) I grilled new yorkstrips for supper, with spaghetti squash, carrot puree, and seasoned ricefor supper. Lily went right to sleep in the evening. Ashley and I plantedpotatoes, replanted one of the Aloes, and read for just a bit before bed.
2023: Work day. Grabbed some groceries and headed home. We had an early commonmeal so that the families with kids could join - and had a good turn out.Taco Tuesday in a potluck style. Worked on getting a hotel reserved inAlbuquerque for our pending weekend visit to the zoo and aquarium. Read fora bit before bed.
