So, today was chore day. But not just ANY chore day.
It was a momentous chore day, in that Cory mowed the lawn for the first time.
After a lesson on starting the mower and some guidance from his anal-retentive father about keeping the lines straight, he mowed the entire front yard by himself.
This warms my heart to no end.
The tents were still up from last night until after supper so we didn't mow the backyard, but Cory did the front, then after I went running, I did the side, and Cory will do the backyard tomorrow.
While Cory mowed the front yard, I finally cleaned the fridge in the garage which had taken quite a beating from exploding, frozen cans of Diet Coke from the freakin' awful winter we had. Jo took pictures of that too of course, as that warmed HER heart.
Tonight, we grilled steaks and had homefries made on the grill, and then tried to have a campfire, but that got cut short by an oncoming storm that scared the shit out of us.
It went from a calm, beautiful evening, to a raging windstorm in a matter of like 5 minutes. We were sitting around the campfire and literally heard what sounded like a train coming at us through the trees. For all we knew, it could have been a tornado.
So I tried to put the fire out as much as possible, then we all went and hid out in the basement. Had the power go out a couple of times even!
Anyway, that's all for today. We'll talk soon, eh?
