I am feeling guilty about leaving P for 10 days, so I got him this dog waterer. He can't handle the cat fountain, so I'm trying this. He's already spilled most of it...
Did some reading while I got my oil changed today. Problem is, they do it so fast I only read a chapter!
Went kayaking at Lake Macbride on Tuesday. Was perfect weather. The pictures below are pictures from our little hike. We jumped out of the kayaks and hiked by the spillway that goes into the Coralville Reservoir.
Been working on painting my table. I stenciled the left side first, and it turned out pretty good. However, the right side bled and I spent about 3 hours touching it all up with a tiny little brush.
The fireworks downtown on the 4th weren't too shabby! Not as good as in DC or over the Atlantic Ocean, though. That's kind of hard to beat.
Here's the almost finished table. Thinking about painting the ends or sides red. We'll see.
My final cabinet!
What it originally looked like.
Helped Molly celebrate her birthday!
The table before...
All the paint!
Went to hear author Matt de la Peña speak at Kirkwood as part of the CRPL Author Out Loud series. His picture book won the Newbery and was a Caldecott runner up this year.
Peaches just aren't as good from the store...
I haven't even touched the chairs yet!
This was quite the project...
