Surprise Visit

For Labor Day, we got a surprise visit from my aunt and uncle. They brought up some shelves for us to make room for stuff from my grandma. We had a really nice time. Dinner at Bodega was a bit disappointing, but we found a spot at Blackrocks and went for a nice hike. Perfect weather. 

I made a bit of progress on covering up some plastic around the house. Slow going, but it looks okay. The weather turned and then I got some shop time in. Cranked out a couple cutting boards and turned half a log into some blanks for the lathe. Fun to have the tools that can do that. Need to get a lathe at some point. Got the wood stove delivered. 537 pounds. Quite a challenge to get it down the stairs and up onto the stand! Really need to get the basement cleaned up an organized before trying to get the venting installed.

The girls had a great first week of school! They are so happy to be back. To celebrate the first day we met friends at the beach. Also got an interview in for a newspaper article I am writing. Yesterday we tried out a Judo class and the girls loved it! Definitely feels good to be back into the routine. 

First Judo class.


Building with solar power!

Anything looks better than plastic.



Fun in town.

Special breakfast!
