Amy (Mer’s sister) & Brian came over for a cookout, after giving us an awesome gas grill as a housewarming present. We have been so blessed with such gifts this last month, such as all the appliances and moving costs taken care of my parents-in-law. Di (Mer’s Dad) even gave me an old chop saw and table saw, the latter of which I have used many times — it’s heaven on wood projects such as all the shelves I’ve been building for my office closet.
We also got our first parking tickets today, just minutes after the alternate parking changed. On a happier note, I put our second volley of empty boxes on Craigslist (as free) and within minutes they were gone. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
