2017: Bri's birthday and a nice lazy day. Britt made chocolate chip pancakes forthe girls' breakfast. Bri opened presents and then everyone scattered for abit. I worked on F-H.com, tweaking the look and uploading the newly scannedimages of the print and watercolor projects. We watched Beauty & the Beast(b-day present) and generally lounged around. Delicious salzbury steak forlupper (Bri's request) before Britt had to head in to work. Finished thePsyche musical.

Lilyand I went for a walk to the lake and spent time on the playground (shewanted to try out all the swings, so I got to swing with her sitting in mylap as we worked our way back and forth across the set). Home for a nap andAshley returned during it. I got some chores done around the house in theafternoon - took apart the art shipping crate, prepped the road bicycles,tried one of the mountain bikes, etc. I put the sunscreen on the Jeep andwe tested it out with a drive to Vallecito and checked out some potentialcamping spots on the eastern side of the lake. Home for supper then readingbefore bed.
