Evening

I’ve been finding books to put on Elv’s side table. Last week there were three Hardy Boys books from Thriftbooks.  He read them in about as many sittings. This week it’s Herriot. And a fat history about Queen Isabel from long, long ago in Europe.

I am always on the hunt for books for us. We figured out that we need down time, off our phones and off the endless project march. Books or board games.

Here’s an added repair project. Apparently over the weekend this window was impacted by something. We have no idea what hit it. We are trying to believe it was an innocent rock from the mower. This explanation feels less violating somehow. It certainly wasn’t a bird.

Today I took all the trims off so that I could measure the window and order a new one. The person at Menards over the phone helped me to figure out the exact one that we needed and then refused to order it for me. I have to show up in person to sign papers for it before they can order.

So I shopped elsewhere online and found it again using all the information I was gaining along the way and hit the checkout button in the end. I figure it’s the new window that needs to show up.
