2017: Woke early and got up with the alarm to go and get some art done. Worked ona watercolor mountain landscape and traced the tree of life onto a biggerpaper for some watercolor experimentation. Ash woke with a headache so shewent back to bed for a bit longer after getting up. I geared up for workand headed that way. Slowish day and was glad to leave at 4 - sketching atlunch was fun. We went for a walk along the river trail before heading tochurch and then home again for the evening.
2018: Up and made the fire pretty early. Ashley still isn't feeling 100%. Shecooks breakfast on the puff pastry and it's delish! I get the order placedand then we head into town - dropping off a library book and picking upsome things for the house at the hardware store. Then ice cream from ThePinecone and a drive up past Vallecito - the campgrounds are empty for theseason! Home for a quick stroll around the neighborhood. Ashley listens toher book and I glue up the cardboard to try out a cardboard desk. We havepopcorn and I watch a movie while she listens to more of her book. Shefeels worse as the day goes on so pretty nice to hang out at home.
2019: Read for a bit over coffee, then chatted with Jim once he got up. Then doveinto the shed and separated the different types of tools to start narrowingit down. Spent most of the day out in the shed. Swedish meatballs forsupper and chatted with Norma. Then just a bit of note taking and workstuff before bed.
2021: Slept in a bit, had breakfast, visited the playground, and hit the road.Enjoyed lunch at a rest area. Pulled into the campground at Ellis, KS inthe mid afternoon. Nice to be here early and on a weekday, so there weren'tmany people here. We got settled, checked out the big playground (which weoverlooked while eastbound) and walked a bit down the main road beforegrabbing supper. Once Lily settled in to bed we read a bit before headingthe same way ourselves.
2022: I made breakfast but Lily was too excited for the playground so she headedthere before eating. We were mostly packed up by the time she was done andready to eat. Then driving for the day to Ellis. We went to the playgroundafter getting set up. Lily and I played while Ashley went back to fixsupper. Lily's getting much braver on the slides and capable on the stairsand ladders and such. After eating we walked along the river, threw somerocks, and played on the old playground equipment for a bit. Water leakunder the sink that I couldn't get stopped, but just turned off the water.Lily didn't want to go to bed so a big fit was had. Everyone was exhausted.
