Treehouse on a Low Budget
For months now, Scooby has been talking about building a tree house. We’ve had a tree picked out for a year, but no funds to build it. This past weekend, we went to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore center to find some free or cheap lumber so I could build a raised bed for fall and winter lettuces. We ended up finding up to 16′ long 2″x 8″, 10″ and 12″ boards for $1 each. I also sent out a…

Weekend fun
Peaches, pottery, gardening, shopping, playing, Olympics, snuggles – that about sums up the weekend, which started with a family outing to First Friday at Vintage21. We didn’t stay long at the concert/peach fest, because as I told Wookie. “That is no way to behave at an art show!” He was super excited to be out in public and was a little bit loud, so we listened to a few songs, partook in the peaches and beverages, and then Joe let…
