. . . in the distant, early morning . . .

Summertime, oh summertime.

First: I’m still sick.

This weekend dad came down to visit.  We did a lot of Stuff.  Saturday we went to Floors with Flair to look at flooring, and Saturday night we went to Morton’s.  Dad had the prime rib which he told them was “good” but not “excellent” and ended up getting free Prime Rib; which the dogs will be happily finishing off.

Sunday we went to Cannon Beach (1h, 20min drive) and let the dogs romp on the beach.  It was a super trip.  Milton even got off-leash time, and after about 5 minutes of being excellent, took only 10 seconds to give me a heart attack - I way over-reacted.  He was perfect.  We were out there about 2 1/2 hours before heading back and getting some dinner at Old Chicago Pizza.

Monday I had to work, but we got some breakfast and headed to CFM to look at more flooring, where I fell in love with the flooring I hope to use in the master bedroom. It is completely different than what I had envisioned, but that’s a-ok.

Monday evening Chris and Wendy joined us for dinner at Red Robin’s, where I was especially well behaved, opting for a salad and eating no fries.

Milton got sick overnight and actually had a few accidents in the house; we leave here in a few minutes for a vet appointment.

Dad left at 5am this morning to head to the California leg of his trip.  Today Samantha was hear for my pre-Chris cleaning, and Mike is here working on my guest bathroom remodel.  That goes tomorrow and may finish, or go to Thursday.  Chris arrives after midnight tomorrow night and stays for about 10 days.  We have a lot of cool stuff planned, as well as a lot of downtime.

It’s a good summer; the heat wave breaks tomorrow, I can’t wait for it to be a bit more normal here in Oregon.
