Not To Repeat, But....

Not to repeat, but....

While this spot isn't intended to be used as a journal -- except to the point that events help put things in a broader perspective - but when things come together, it's worth noting. And this weekend was another worth savoring. Saturday started with a walk, then redid the lattice work around the back porch, followed by Patrick's baseball game at Fireman's Field; and his end of season party. Then to Home Depot and back in time to finish the project and construct some braces for ivy to climb. Got a couple hours of practicing in and then a movie (Slumdog Millionaire) with Martha. All the boys but Chris were away for the night, so Martha and I had a leisurely morning. The paper and coffee, some yard chores and picture hanging; then a long bike ride with Patrick and Nathan down the W&OD (and had to be picked up by Jamie). An early cookout dinner to accommodate Patrick and Chris up to Frank's for lessons. I got a bit more drumming in - prepping for the Picnic - then a shower and writing. The main point here is not the events, but the balance. A mix of solid accomplishments that I can feel comfortable about, along with some quality family time appreciating Martha and the boys. They don't always work out that way, and should be relished.
