August 21-22, 2010


This weekend was great. Mike's brother, Dave, came up to help us do some electrical work, but that never happened. Dave made something much more helpful - a workbench in the basement!

All of the weird stuff we had been finding hidden throughout the basement finally proved helpful. All the lumber and pegboard for the workbench was made out of stuff already in the basement. We paid a total of $11 for this setup:


Now all of Mike's tools are on the workbench and not strewn about on the basement floor, yaaaaay! I am also forever in debt to David for making my downstairs chore, laundry, much more practical. He made me a snazzy little shelf and hung an old closet rod by the washer and dryer so that I could actually wash, dry, and fold clothes all in ONE place. Life's simple pleasures...

We felt pretty accomplished for the weekend and headed to the beach to enjoy Francesca's last days with us before flying back to Italy. We went to the beach to fly his kiteboarding trainer kite, and it was a lot of fun. Mike made an amazing dinner Saturday night, and we enjoyed the cool summer night together (note: someday we will have lawn furniture... until then, the backyard stairs will have to do!)
