Late Monday

Got out with oldest daughter at noon-time and middle daughter was fine with that. Chatting about stuff is good. Clears the air and all. I grew up in a family that excelled in *the silent treatment* and neither Gary or I practice that technique. He's taught me to spill the beans, so to speak, and as a result, those long silent moments just don't work around these parts. ;)

Took two sons to the shop, while we were at it, and they helped their dad load and deliver some furniture. Then we all eventually came home and Gary hung some old black wooden shutters someone had discarded in part of the kitchen, so we can cordon off the dogs when we have company. Now part of the kitchen has the interesting saloon-type flavor. Reminds me of those swinging doors in westerns.

And besides all of the above, which is nothing really, tomorrow is youngest son's fourteenth birthday. That's a shock as it is since he's a very young thirteen anyway. He's smart as all get out, but is so innocent of the world. I guess you'd say he's old-fashioned. 'Course he does have his feisty side, but all in all, he's a bit like the Beaver.

Looking forward to a fun day tomorrow. Will stay at home and enjoy the day. Simple stuff, you know?
