Everyone loves a parade. Waterford had its annual town parade today to celebrate Waterford Week - why this week we have never been able to discover, but I'm sure it has historical significance. After a short bike ride from the house, we got to enjoy watching the Shriners in their miniature cars and Cub Scouts walking with the flag. That along with the fire trucks makes for a great parade and fortunately the fire trucks decided not to blare their sirens the entire parade route. We both had flashbacks to parades of our youth in Illinois.
The rest of the weekend was calmer than last week. We went to the movies on Friday to see Inception - great movie, we would both highly recommend it - but it requires you to pay attention so don't go when you are tired. Then home to whip up a home made pizza using the tomatoes from the garden. The garden is now in the heyday of beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. We are just staying ahead of the output between eating the produce fresh, canning and freezing - but just barely. We have now laid in enough frozen beans and bread and butter pickles to easily last through to next year's growing season (or on the pickles part it might be two years worth). The scary part is that we don't think the garden is done. Might be time to start handing out vegetables at work or opening a farm stand.
Saturday after a wonderful long run in the morning followed by time at the gym, Jo headed off for a massage while I used the time to catch up on missing sleep - nice way of saying I took a nap to recover from the morning run. Then is was time to hit some chores which always seem to have a way of building up. It was time to touch up the paint on the door into the house from the garage which now looks all nice a sparkly white - at least for a month or two. Nothing particularly noteworthy at work this week, with Jo doing her usual commute to NY one day and here the rest of the week.
