This weekend was a good one, and relaxing for a change. On Friday, I got an unexpected early birthday present. My mom made me a quilted applique wall hanging based on this picture. It’s easily the best gift I’ve ever received.
Friday evening, just after sunset, my family, my mom, and my sister’s family headed out to our spot on Airport Road and sat around a campfire, roasted marshmallows, and drank some wine. The Perseids were still going, and we saw quite a few meteors, including one large fireball that was probably the second largest I’ve ever seen in person. It was a great night–I think I could have stayed out there ’til dawn.
Saturday was a lazy day, I don’t think I did much of anything except cut some firewood in the morning. And I don’t remember any details from that evening. 😉 I changed the oil in my truck on Sunday, and cut down some weeds and tree limbs in my back yard. I finished cutting down the weeds this evening, and I plan on spending tomorrow loading the truck for the Potter’s Ponds get-together. So far about 75 people have RSVP’ed, so it’s going to be crowded. I think many of those people will only be staying during the day Saturday, but a lot will be camping overnight as well. Should be good times.
