After the Day before Yesterday

After the day before Yesterday
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00167

Today was Father’s Day. I was too exhausted and out of sorts to do much about it. I got home and went to church with the family as we do on Sundays. Then home to make a quick video before going to bed because I had work again tonight. I slept and got up in time for dinner. Allison and the kids got me some nice cards and a LEGO set. I thought to myself that I’d like to get a photo with the kids before I head off to work but then it was time to gather together and put out all the trash. Any thoughts of a photo were gone until I was halfway to work and realized that I had forgotten to do that.

So I’m here at work and they have several large murals and this one is near the bathroom and I walk by it all the time. The line of code is an error. It is sort of how I was feeling after forgetting to take a photo with the kids today. Weekends are hard for us, always running, sleeping or working. A stark contrast to nearly everyone we know. We’ve been making it work but I am not sure how much longer I can continue to throw things out of whack half the week. I’m so looking forward to our upcoming family trip to be able to focus and sort out these time issues.

Opening Day at Snappy Dogs 2018

Snappy Dogs Visit

After yesterdays miserable wet and rainy day we weer happy to have a slight reprieve from that mess. The weather was cloudy but dry and we decided that we would head up to Hopkinton to visit our favorite hot dog ladies at Snappy Dogs. Today was opening day and it was a fun one. I ad contacted my sister, Shelby, yesterday and let her know that we were going up for opening day and asked if they would meet us there. Shelby brought her kids and the cousins had a fun lunch together.

As always Lisa and Teresa were gracious and warm and wonderful. Lisa was very concerned over what had happened with my Photo-A-Day project. She’s been following it for a long time now. I appreciated her genuine concern over how I was feeling about this project. I did share what the next project might be. I’ll reveal that when the time is right.

Lunch was delicious. I had my first Great Dane of the season. It is a 1/2lb Pearl Hot Dog with sriracha mayo, spicy slaw, banana peppers, mustard and dill pickle relish. It was so good. I inhaled it because it was so cold outside. We thought that we’d sit at the tables and enjoy lunch. Instead we scarfed down our dogs and shivered like crazy.
