Paul feeling the freedom of wearing big boy underpants the first time
Fathers’ Day turned out great this year. Just how I would have scripted it. After a great morning at Watermark, we went to lunch at Luna de Noche one of our favorite spots. Then on home where you might think that having no air conditioning would put a damper on things. Not in the least. We played outside in our super-shady backyard and then Desi rolled out the presents. Big surprise. Luke and Paul got me the full box set of Band of Brothers
After all the presents and the fun outside, we rolled out to Frisco and sat on the grass in the outfield for a RoughRiders game. Really, really, fun.
Thanks to Sweet Desi for getting all that together. It was a great day!
It’s hard to see, but that’s the Brown family tent set up in our backyard. Since our AC is out ‘til Tuesday we’re seizing the opp for our first family campout. Should be fun.
Edit: It’s funny. With the low-quality blurriness of the photo, it makes Abbie look like the “evidence” of some urban legend – “The Mysterious Little Foot of Richardson” or something. She only comes out at night seeking chocolate milk in a baby bottle. Hmmm-.
Everyone in the Browns’ home has a sparkly sheen of sweat on right now as our AC went out sometime yesterday. We’ve had a few problems with it recently and the same poor guy has come out to try and fix it three times. Fortunately for us, when we bought the house our incredible realtor, John Powell, had us make the sellers include a home warranty in their part of the closing costs. So, what would have been a $2000 to $3000 replacement cost on the AC unit is going to end up as about $700 out of pocket for us. Nice. The way I see it, that home warranty has saved us at least $2000 this year. Thank you John and Thank You God!
The only catch to all this is that they can’t get the new AC unit installed until Tuesday. Whew. Supposed to hit 98 tomorrow. Happy Fathers’ Day!
Comments are working again. I’m kind of fired up about that. Maybe I’ll get a reader soon.
Rest easy friends. All those old posts are safely stored away, waiting to be transformed into Tumblr-goodness. There’s no way I’ve seen to do it other than the old cut and paste method. So,it’ll be a while. Maybe I’ll outsource it to China.
