Day 344 I came, I saw, I ate

14th July Saturday

The day was cooler in Saugatuck, there had been rain, and there was a steady flow of people through the Book shop. A small leak in the roof caused a “plop! plop!” Into a plastic bucket.

I was eager to get back home to finish sanding the drawer fronts, and get the dresser ready to go on Facebook. I also had the sofa table frame to finish.

My visits to Uncommon Grounds have become a regular excursion, and somewhere I can view the town from the comfort of an armchair.

Kelli was making a list of things for the wedding that has to be paid for, but we have been searching for a new caterer. We had contacted two, but never received a quote, this is a little disappointing as we wanted to support local businesses, so the search is ongoing.

I have been making lists of jobs I have to do before I go back to the UK. Fixing the Dyson, finishing the back panel to the monolith, and to clear space in the garage for storing materials for the building project code named “Treehouse”

Trying to stop Kelli looking at furniture and fittings is like holding back a rampaging bull. I am still making drawings and taking measurements, trying to establish floor and roof heights, something that is not easy to do without digital equipment, I feel another trip to Lowes is inevitable.

Dinner tonight was one of the best vegan Cesar Salad I have ever tasted. Kelli found this recipe, and made the dressing and crouton. It was so good I could have easily eaten my own body weight in it.
