Running in the grass

Construction update

We had a few setbacks like having to replace a cracked retaining wall but mostly things are going pretty smoothly. The stair treads are temporary. The room is about 10 by 10. We had to shrink it because of the power lines. Then there will be a deck on top of that. I climbed up for the first time and you can not only see the Olympic mountain range but also Rainier which is a nice surprise. Rad.

Your moment of zen

It was a long and pretty productive day on the project. Sam had watched Finn all day. We have this plastic white lawn chair that the previous owner left. I was sitting in it and had just taken my boots off. It was such a nice moment to sit and watch sawdust glint through the evening wind. I would yell "encore! sweep!," so many times that I only had to say encore and he would sweep some more. May I draw your attention to the perfect z strolling off into the sun? Also I was smoking a cigarette. I smoke when I do a construction work. I don't otherwise. Building a fence? Takes two packs. The deck going down to the dock? Maybe 2. Quarter inch scale model of Graceland out of toothpicks. 1 carton. No, this is what I project it will take though.
This current project will take about a month still and I don't know if my lungs can take it.

Soulfood Easter 2

I feel like we kind of veered off the original path of soulfood easter because there was lamb alongside the ribs but I think slight infringements on tradition is sometimes acceptable. Next year I plan to use lard. We have moved from simple staging to full action film. {POW}
I had misgivings about the end with the christ getting x's. I thought it was too cartoony. I didn't edit it out though. I didn't because I thought that was censorship. Or something. Special thanks to Mark and San San for their mad Easter skills.

Liz, it's your turn
