Doug, Jonalyn & I took advantage of Alyssa being at camp this weekend to make a quick jaunt to the cabin. We brought another full sized mattress up so now we can have three couples stay there at a time.

Again, we had to make getting there interesting 🙂 We (meaning Doug) decided to take the scenic route to the mattress store. We ended up having to pull out the map (this place isn’t that far from our house) and after enduring a couple of wrong turns and some construction, we made it. Finally, we could hit the road for real.

Or not. The straps weren’t tight enough and the mattress slid. Ugh. We had to pull off the highway and adjust them. While standing on the side of the exit ramp helping with the straps, I got a fun phone call. More about that another day.

So, anyhoo, we did make it to our destination at last. Always good to pull in the driveway. It’s amazing how you can start the trip in kind of a crabby mood and end up relaxing more and more as the miles slip by. Before you know it, you’re in a good mood. We set up the grill Doug got for Father’s Day, brought the bed frame and mattress in the house, and had hamburgers for dinner. Boy, were they good.

I was exhausted, having not slept well in several nights, so after Doug soundly beat me at cribbage, we called it a night. Of course, I didn’t have my night time medication with me. Another restless night were I ended up in Alyssa’s bed.

Funny, but I was ready to tackle the day today. I took a walk, then made some breakfast. While I walked, I noticed the sky getting dark in the west. We ate quickly, then went outside to undertake a couple of projects. It never did pour – just rained softly enough that we were able to keep working.

One thing I have been dying to do is to touch up the paint inside. It’s a pet peeve of mine, to have chipped paint. Unfortunately, we only found one of the three colors I needed. Now I have a few precious paint chips in a baggie to take to the paint store. I hope they can match them!

We did manage to spend some time hanging out on the porch before we needed to head home. Doug and I were able to have a really nice conversation. Have I told you how much we love our cabin??

Well, I must toddle off to bed before I fall asleep on my keyboard. No pictures – sorry. We did some serious work instead this weekend.

How did you spend your weekend?
