Hello and Happy Sunday!


On the Home Front: I don't recall doing much of anything this week so it was probably just the usual boring shit that comes with being the CEO of a household. Thursday was grocery pick up and it rained pretty steady all day. I read for a good portion of the afternoon. 

Friday I did all the cleaning I usually do on Saturday plus my 1st weekend of the month cleaning because I knew, with the weather nice, we'd be outside for most of the day Saturday. Trip and I went fairly early (8:30am) to Lowe's with the trailer and picked up cement blocks and treated 2x4s to make firewood racks. When we got back, Trip starting splitting wood and Kyle and I started building the racks. Once one rack was done, Kyle used the tractor to bring the split wood over to the rack to stack. Hubby worked from 5am-noon so when he got home he took his chainsaw out and started cutting more of the really large sections of the tree that were left. I sent the boys in at 2:00 and hubby and I did a few more things before I called it quits. We'll split and stack some more today. Maybe I'll build the last rack, maybe not. We'll see.


Tar Heels beat Duke last night so they are going to the Championship against Kansas. They play tomorrow. Trip is so happy. lol I might get a deli tray for the Big Game. Maybe some cupcakes, too.

Touching Nature: Spring weather in NC. What can I say?
 
Book News: Still no review writing getting done for those backlogged books I read last year. Ugh. But I did finish a tour book or two.

Don't Touch That Dial!: Made it through season 1 of Without A Trace. It's been so long since I watched this. I don't remember it being this stupid. Also, I can't stand Sam and Jack is a dick. lol But we'll finish what we started. *side eyes Supernatural stopped at end of 10* We still haven't watched The Book of Boba Fett.

At the Flicks: None

Cyberspace Playground: Still enjoying Wordle.

Randomness:  
Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: Wear gloves when doing outside work. 
Pros: no annoying cuts, splinters, scrapes, broken nails
Cons: weird tan lines (use sunscreen)

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

  1. You really work hard on the big projects. I'm finally done with most big projects and am just trying to set good routines for maintenance in the yard like when to fertilize or weed n feed. The nice weather makes life easier.

  2. That firewood rack looks great! It's the first thing my BF built me when I moved into my current house, a beautiful little shed for my firewood :)
