Where to begin? Friday night we saw MikeMickXer play at Seaboard Music, keeping the kids up way too late. Saturday we paid the price with two grumpy, squabbling kids. I got some time with Hallie downtown at the Raleigh Times coffee shop but Hallie got bored when I ran into a friend.
Sunday we split up and I took Travis to New Hope Valley while Kelly and Hallie had some time together. T and I didn’t get to ride the train but we did have fun looking around at stuff. Later, I got some things done around the house, finally hanging things on walls in every bedroom. Travis and I also fixed the screen in our screen door and put a wire cable on it to keep it from sagging. In between we spent a little time playing on the driveway and visiting with our neighbors. I spent time shooting baskets during the talking, and especially enjoyed handing the basketball to our two-year-old neighbor, Noah, who seems obsessed with it.
Today we began with a hike to Umstead park, running into three different sets of friends on the trip. Kelly remarked that “it’s getting to be a small town” and she’s right.Then there was the rest of the hanging projects, followed by family movie night featuring Lassie Comes Home, streamed straight from Netflix. The thought of watching a 66-year-old classic movie delivered digitally to our TV amused me to no end. Bet MGM never saw that coming when it made the film!
Kelly and I just reviewed our calendars tonight and it looks like our lives won’t be getting any less busy any time soon. No wonder it all goes by so fast.
