I sketched a selfportrait and read for a bit while Ashley finished her charting. Then wechatted some and she dropped me off at home before heading to the office. Ifinished the painted tree of life piece and looked at photos for the nextproject. Found a couple of good options, maybe for painting but definitelyfor charcoal drawings. Made pizza and beans and rice for the weekend. Ashgot home and we finished getting ready for company. Amanda, Charlie, andthe kids came over. The girls knitted for a bit while the guys chatted. Weate and then played some games. Everyone had a great time and the kidsreally got wound up. They all headed on their way as the evening wound down.
2018: Slept in a bit late (Ashley got up really early) and designed desk and halltree with parts lists. Took walk around the lake, had breakfast, and thenfinished loading the trailer. Headed into town and picked up lunch from thefood trucks to drop off at work. Gave Kristen a lunch break then went andpainted till about 4. Then went in and took pictures to finish the order athome (Kristen's phone died and she couldn't get it wrapped up). Home forthe evening to a delicious soup supper and then I worked on order whilewatching quot Expedition Happinessquot documentary.

2020: After we all had breakfast together, Ashley headed into town to work in theoffice. Lily and I hung out for the day. She practiced standing, trying tostand from sitting, and other skills that were pretty new. We had a goodday. She took a couple of 2 hours naps so I got some little fiddly choresdone about the house, too. The dried, seasoned firewood rounds were droppedoff so I'll get to split those later. Ashley got home during supper timeand Lily was pretty excited. As she went to bed I went out and moved thecord of split wood that was dropped off yesterday - got it all underneaththe deck and stacked up. Yay for progress! Read for a bit before bed.
