Clean Garage, Eat, Arts Festival

April 20, 2004 - 6:06am

Kristen and I had an amazingly productive day yesterday. It started off with mowing the yard. Then we ran the sprinklers for the first time this year and made sure they were all working properly. We became motivated to work around the house, so a trip to the hardware store came next. We purchased brackets in order to get some scrap wood off the floor in the garage. That led to cleaning out the whole garage! It looks totally amazing now. (Or it will when we take all the trash out tomorrow morning.)

After the garage, we had lunch with Mom and Dad. It was surf and turf day - salmon and steak! Wow, I'm so spoiled. After lunch, it was back home to rearrange the kitchen and get rid of everything we didn't use anymore. I think we packed up three boxes of stuff! The kitchen is so much better and feels more usable now. (Not like I'm going to cook anytime soon...maybe when I'm done with my MBA.)

In the late afternoon, we went to the Main Stree Arts Festival in downtown Fort Worth. I bought a couple prints and a couple photographs as well as saw Amy from school. We loved the weather and as alwasy, the food vendors. This is a kinetic sculpture I really, really want, but will never be able to afford. Price tag - $8000. The artist is Andrew Carson at windsculpture.com.

We finished up the busy day with a walk to the park with the dogs. By ten o'clock I was fast asleep. It's the best sleep when you've worked and played hard.

you really are blessed to have so much family so close! i so wish i could go eat dinner with my parents once a week! and to have the kind of relationships with your sisters where you can live together happily! i love my sister, but i think there'd be casualties if we tried to occupy the same space. ;)
