While being home this past fall for my skin appointments, my parents asked me to pave the driveway. I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal, but it was exhausting. My runner knees on the ground filling in all the cracks was a terrible idea. It took me a week of being on my hands and knees and pouring tar, to finish this task. Once the project was over, it made me glad to do apartments versus the up keep of a house and set up my life far away from home. Goodness gracious. My parents are lucky I waited to do the surgical half of skin appointments, so I could do the driveway and not pop stitches. Next year they have to hire the normal guy who always does our driveway… It’ll be back to hiring people for tasks and wondering why they adopted the two puppies I always wanted if I’m never home. What was you latest project?

Recently, driving out to the wineries like Knapp Winery, there were so many swans someone clearly borrowed them for a wedding. The swans reminded me of my old running buddies from a long drive downstate last year.
