Holiday Weekend

It was so nice to have a 3-day weekend! Scott & I decided to tackle some chores and finally hung the curtains in our office which we bought almost two years ago.  The curtains and the curtain rod had been sitting in our office closet--we totally forgot about them! When I went in there last week to grab something I noticed them and so I told Scott, we MUST get these hung before the summer comes.  Our office faces south so we get a ton of sun exposure. I'm super excited that we finally did it!  We also tackled the garage, cleaning out a few items we were storing for Gabby that she no longer wanted as well as lots of empty boxes and miscellaneous items. We filled up the entire back of the car with the styrofoam we've been collecting for the past two years that we were finally able to drop off on Monday at the recyling place in Kent. Ever since Covid hit they have not been open on the weekends which made it much more challenging to drop it off.  

We stumbled across a new trail near us last week which we checked out on Saturday with the pups. They really liked it!  Afterward we gave them both baths which was very tiring.  We can still fit Rosie in the kitchen sink, but Harvey is so big now we had to use the bathtub in the main bath.  Let's just say he was not a happy camper.  He hated it even more when we had to blow dry and brush them.  He lost a lot of "stress" hair.  We had to do a lot of vacuuming afterwards!

We also watched Eternals finally now that it's on Disney+.  Both of us thought it was ok, definitely not a typical Marvel movie.  We scored it a B-.  

On Monday we met up with some friends for a lovely lunch at Boathouse 19 on the Tacoma waterfront. It was a really nice place & had great food. We also had a lovely view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  Meanwhile Gabby & Ethan went up to Deception Pass to go hiking & birding. They had a great time! Unfortunately, Corey had to work so she & Terrell didn't get to do anything fun.

The finished product. Do you see anything wonky? We didn't realize until after we hung the curtains that they're two different lengths!  We had never opened them until now so it was pretty surprising & funny. We decided to put the shorter one behind Scott's desk and are waiting to see if anyone notices.

It was super foggy this weekend and you can see some of it lingering.

Ethan is the tree hugger this time!
