I dropped a car load of stuff off at GoodWill.  Avery and I went to the car wash, gas station, post office and visited a new playground.  Home for lunch then out in the kayak.  Nap! 

I didn’t sell my house.  I can’t say I’m surprised or disappointed.  Showing the house this morning has set me on a little “Clear It Outta Here!” bender.  The back of my car is full and will be dropped off at GoodWill in the morning.  My goal was to put a dozen pair of shoes on the pile.  I managed one measly pair!  Why is that?  I probably own over a hundred pair of shoes, yet I wear the same six or eight all the time.  You would thing parting with just twelve pair would be an easy task, but nope!  Maybe next time. 

I haven’t had an adrenaline rush like this since May 2006.  I am concerned about this afternoon’s appointment with my Doctor.  I am showing my house tomorrow morning.

I actually considered wearing socks today.

It looks like it’s going to rain all day again today.  Not a bad thing as there’s much laundry to do and pumpkin chocolate chip bread to make.  I substituted pumpkin puree for the bananas in my banana bread recipe and added the spices from the pumpkin pie recipe we used Friday and I’m pleased with the results!  Despite the rain, Coco and I did the Stubbs/Maxwell loop.  The battery in my Forerunner 305 was dead.

Avery spent the night.  It rained all day, but we put on our rain coats and spent some time outside anyway.  Spent all afternoon/evening in the car; took Avery home, picked up Mom and Gladys at the airport and drove each of them home – one to Moundsview the other to St.Michael.

Typical Friday:  Wash the car, get gas, stop at the Post Office, an hour at the playground, lunch, kayaking, nap.  Avery and I made pumpkin pie with pumpkins from our garden!  Four pumpkins yield 12 cups of pumpkin puree, half of that made four pies. 

Steve’s friend, Ed NotTheScienceGuy is our houseguest while he’s in town for a wedding.

I’ve got the extra yard space all figured out.  I’m thinking stone Labyrinth and Solarium/Gazebo.
