* Was it really just
last Sunday that was Father's Day? What in the world!? It seems like forever ago!
We spent part of the day with my mom and dad, celebrating Father's Day with them, and it was a great day!
* Monday began a week of intense writing for me, so I holed up in in my office and typed away! Ryan's mom was admitted to the hospital that day, and we went to visit her after work. Isn't Ryan so cute carrying her pink blanket down the hallway?
We continued the great garage makeover of 2016 that night, and I have to tell you, this was an evening YOU. WILL. NOT. BELIEVE. It is probably both a podcast segment AND a blog post in the making. I cannot even believe it myself.
* Tuesday, Ryan got off work early, and we had a little Lowe's date after he got home, looking at carpet and, of course, drinking coffee. After that?
More garage painting fun. It never ends, people. I mean it
literally, truly, never ends.
* Guess what we did on Wednesday?
More painting. Touch-ups in the garage and then we moved on to the painting project I loathed the most. It turns out when we painted our master bathroom {back when we were moving}, we accidentally used flat paint. It had terrible streaking issues, so we repainted the whole room in the same color, but using semi-gloss paint. I know it was good and necessary, but there's something maddening about redoing that kind of work.
* Thursday I served as the photographer for a going away party! That was something new and different for me. One of my friends recommended me to her mom, who needed the photographer for her place of work. I spent three hours capturing smiles and laughs and hugs and had a great time doing it. Know what Ryan had a great time doing?
Playing with the power washer he borrowed from his step-dad.
* Friday, Ryan's mom was here with us {she stayed for a few days after she got out of the hospital} and we had a great time hanging out together while he worked. I baked cookies and we watched TV {I did squeeze in a workout} - and it was fun! That night,
Ryan and I went on a date to the drive in to watch Finding Dory. Fun night!
* Yesterday morning we went out to breakfast with one of our friends and then did some shopping at a market and garage sales. A fun start to the day! Ryan worked SO HARD on the house yesterday and last night, we
went to see some fireworks here in town. Perfect way to wrap up the week!

Hope Ryan's mom is ok!!
Are you totally losing the garage as a garage? Can't wait to see what it becomes!
Wabash has a drive in movie theater, say what? I grew up a few miles from Wabash (well, 10 miles actually) and it was the town where we went to church, where our dentist was, where I had my first job, etc. Basically I spent a lot of time there and thought that I knew all of its "attractions." Maybe it's new? I'm intrigued. Anyway, I hope Ryan's mom is ok- I'm sure she was in the best care with you guys.
Fun times continue at Shafferland.
Tamar - She is much better. She suffers terribly with asthma, so she randomly has to take a turn in the hospital for a bit of a lung reboot. {That's clearly not the technical term.} The garage will still be a garage - just also usable as an additional room. If it EVER GETS DONE {it will!!} I will post about the adventures!
Maria - Ryan says it has been there for a long time. It's just north of 24 on 13 just outside of town. I think it was sort of dying out and then it got a fresh life and it's quite popular now. It was packed out when we were there! And thanks for the well-wishes for Ryan's mom. I tried to make sure she RESTED!
Odie - You know it! Every day!
