2016: Slow day. Ashley got off work on time and we went to a nearby diner/cafe to eat. Almost a mini cafeteria - not quite what we expected. Stayed home the rest of the day and read/planned 2017 goals.
2017: Woke in the Walmart parking lot and headed to a nearby coffee shop forbeverages and breakfast. Then a quick stop at Target (new jeans for me andfood for the trail) and then on to hike up Humphrey's Peak, the highestpoint in Arizona! Windy and cold at the top, so we didn't linger long, butdid take in the views (the neighboring mountains look like volcano remnants- and we later found out that's because they are!) and sign the log book.Headed down and were happy to be back in the car. Ended up eating Thai at aplace in town we first visited with Genevieve - still delicious! Then ontoward Grand Canyon to find a boondocking spot that we read about online.Easy to find and easy access, so we tucked in for the night.
2018: Slept in late, enjoyed a coffee before settling in to watch church serviceonline. I shoveled snow and brought in firewood and pellets while Ashleyworked on painting. Helped her touch up the paint in the bathroom and wewent for a walk about the lake - there were people ice fishing and wewalked out on the pond ourselves. Re-assembled the bathroom (apparently wecracked the sink drain and need to replace it), grilled steaks for supper,and generally hung out for the evening.
2019: Felt pretty good upon waking. Was ready to go into the store but didn'tactually need to - had forgotten that Lauren was working. Did get some workdone at home while holding Lily and letting Ashley rest. Headed into townfor appointment to get flu shot then on to Farmington for aSam's/Walmart/Harbor Freight run. Grabbed a bite to eat at Wendy's on theway home and stopped at the store for a few minutes to check on things.Then home for the evening. Bit of reading and stayed up with Lily to letAshley get some uninterrupted rest.
2020: Work from home day. I got a lot of paperwork caught up on, moved thefreezer into the garage and got it plugged in so it could cool down. We allwent for a walk at lunch. Ashley and Lily went for a drive into Bayfield toget out of the house. The new ThinkPad arrived in the evening - I'll get itset up tomorrow. Shoveled out the snow berm and cleared the frontdeck/stairs before bringing in firewood. Read for a bit before bed.
2021: Stayed home and took care of chores and projects around the house - likeinstalling the blinds in the living room. Had the driveway cleared of snow- nice to have that done! Finished building Lily's little sink so she canplay in the running water. Took down the Christmas decorations and cleanedup a bit from their mess. Ashley and Lily are having a good time with Craigand Karen. Karen gave Lily some music lessons and they all went to thechildren's science museum and really had fun.
