Weekend

It wasn't an easy week. Our fridge died for the third time. I did my best to not bludgeon the repair guy. I was also trying (sometimes in vain) to get the house in order for my sister's visit. She arrived yesterday from Kansas.

Jamie is a trooper with the kids. They climb all over her. Yesterday she and Sarah made a "memory box" with a kit from Lowe's. Jamie is good about playing with marbles and erasers and Barbies. She reads the Barbie-themed books to Sarah which I love so well (just kidding).

Erik got a new bike yesterday. He'd been pining for a "full suspension" mountain bike. He divides riding time between road and trail riding. Perhaps there's a road bike in my future so I can join him on rides.

This morning we attended the annual "Greenwood Freedom Festival" parade. It's so very small town and campy. We never miss it.
