Good:
1. We all went down to the Arts Festival on Saturday morning. We had a nice time - visited with several friends and saw some good art. Keegan was an angel. Afterwards we stopped by Neil and Kelly's to pick up Keegan's birthday present as well we dropped off Dana's birthday present. We visited for a little while – but had to leave – Keegan was ready for his nap.
2. I got the second coat up on the North side of the house. The second coat looks really good. I do wish the process was faster. On the lower 2/3rds I completed the second coat - including trim in about 2 hours. The top 1/3 took me about 5.5 hours. It is really time consuming having to move the ladder. I used about 7 gallons for the two coats. I'm now ready for the next side - next weekend.
Bad:
1. Jen got the opportunity to work on Friday. This was the first time that she has ever worked a full day - during the week - since she had Keegan. Keegan and I did well - he was good. We only ventured out once - to the paint shop. The rest of the day was filled with playing and naps. Jen made out well at work too. Her case load wasn’t too demanding so she was relieved about that. Her back did bother her though.
2. Tag some how escaped yesterday mid to late afternoon. Because he is so reclusive we didn’t notice that he was missing until we went up for bed – around 10:30. We should have known something was up because Juice was barking at the front window during dinner. We just thought he was crazy. Anyway I went looking for him before we went to bed but he was nowhere to be found – which I figured was good that I didn’t see him in the road. We decided to crack the garage door and leave out a bowl of food and water. I got up this morning and got dressed prepared to go looking for him. I looked out the front door and noticed that someone had made a dent in the food we had left out. Then I noticed Juice hanging out in the hole – so I decided to look in the garage. When I opened the door there was Tag. Jen was so relieved – it was great.
