Backyard updates.
Some progress in the back yard. Better than intruders in the back yard.

Rock & Roll
We don’t get to see Calvin much and we don’t actually get out all that much. So when you combine the two with a trip into town to a fun bar where Calvin’s band is providing the entertainment, you really can’t lose.
We got there just early enough to catch a few empty stools at a side bar where no one had set up camp yet. We had the bar to our back, the music to our front and the restrooms about three feet away. Between great music, accessible drinks and super people-watching we couldn’t help but have a good time.
Brides & Bikes
I went to see my family for the weekend. My sister threw me a fabulous shower and I saw a whole lot of good people that I haven’t seen for years.
Later on in the weekend, my dad took me for my first motorcycle ride. We went to the same strech of road in the pine barrens where he took me to learn how to drive a stick. Very cool. We also checked out the patch of pine barrens that recently burned down. The green is already starting to pop up new out of the ground. That is amazing.
10 Minutes Late
“Ten minutes late” turned out to be the theme for the day – and I didn’t even have to go to work!
It started with the gym. Class started at 9:30. I didn’t really want to go. But I went. I was running a few minutes late, but sometimes class starts a few minutes late. So when I got there, I drove by the window twice to see if I could see if they started yet. This made me more late. It didn’t look like anyone was in there, but I figured if I made the effort to get dressed and leave and drive around the parking lot twice, I should go in and at least see if there really was a class I was missing or not. So I went in. The instructor told me I was 10 minutes late, but no one was there, so no class.
Since there was no class, I figured I had some extra time to kill. I went shopping at the garden center to see what they had. I found a few things, but apparently I took too long to decide. I got home and had about 10 minutes to get ready for my hair appointment. So I ended up getting there about 10 minutes late too. It didn’t seem like a big deal since the place wasn’t very busy, but it turned out that there was a woman who was supposed to go after me and she ended up leaving before getting her hair cut because she had to get back to work. Oops.
After a quick stop for a mini sushi lunch, I headed in to pick up our shower gift from Mom & Dad – a patio set. The pick up went smooth and easy as did the getting home, getting it out of the truck and the putting it together. The only problem was that I was about finished – just had to tighten the bolts on the table, about 10 minutes of work – when the skies opened up and the rains came down. If only I had started 10 minutes earlier.
