::awning casualty::

Our awning toppled in a 5 second gust of wind yesterday. Literally no other wind was blowing. It was like this gust rose up for the sole purpose of knocking out our refreshing shade. For some reason it made us really laugh. Oh there is so much to do on this house.

But it was a glistening sunny afternoon today with just the right amount of chiliness. I can't complain. I can't complain either about the custard and peaches Rob made for me after dinner. I even let my carb-counting lapse for a few minutes.

What I might be feel compelled to complain about the teensiest bit however would be sandpaper in the pocket of Rob's shorts....in the washing machine (now adorning my new red blouse). Twenty lashes with a wet noodle.
