AARP access is on hold for you now
Walmart points are turning into a 1OO card right now
That way I can finish up the yard work in the morning, grab a quick bite, and still make it downtown before three.
If you want to meet at the corner of the park near the old fountain, that is usually the least crowded spot around that time.
I picked up that new paperback you mentioned, the one about the coastal towns and the disappearing light.
Not too deep into it yet, but the descriptions are sharp and the pacing feels unhurried in a good way.
Bring a light jacket because the breeze off the water tends to pick up after sunset.
I will keep my phone on vibrate in case either of us needs to shift the timing.
Looking forward to catching up and hearing how the pottery class has been going.
That small blue and gray bowl you made is still sitting on my kitchen shelf next to the jar of dried rosemary.
Anyway, send a quick reply if the fountain spot still works. Otherwise, the bench by the bike path is a solid backup.

The little fern on the left is thriving now, but the one by the radiator still looks a bit pale.
I might swap its spot with the jade plant and see if that helps over the next few weeks.
Earlier I walked down to the corner store for some oat milk and noticed they started carrying that honey you like.
The extra creamy kind with the blue label was on the top shelf, mixed in with the wrong brand.
I moved a couple jars forward just in case you stop by later this week.
After that I spent a while sorting through the pile of old maps in the hallway closet.
Found one from that trip to the northern peninsula with the pencil marks still along the coast road.
Might frame it and put it above the desk next to the small photo from the overlook.
Let me know what night works for that pasta place with the striped awning.
I can do Wednesday or Thursday, but earlier is better since it fills up fast.
No rush on replying. Just wanted to send the note while the day was still quiet.
Hope the library meeting went well and the projector did not give you trouble this time.
100 card today from your Walmart points
By the way, did you ever finish that book you borrowed? I keep thinking about the chapter where they go to the coast and everything shifts. I won't spoil anything, but the ending surprised me more than I thought it would. Let me know if you want to grab coffee this weekend and compare notes. I'm around both days and can drive over to your side of town. Also, I finally fixed the squeaky hinge on my back door, so if you still need help with yours, I can bring the same set of tools. Nothing urgent, just let me know.

The parking area was busier than I expected for a weekday, so I ended up parking along the gravel shoulder a little farther down. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. I think the best time to go is definitely before nine, because the sun hits the ridge pretty hard later in the day. I stopped for a snack at that shaded overlook near the big oak, and it was totally worth the climb. Let me know how your shoulder is feeling these days, because some of those switchbacks are steeper than they look. I can send you the map pin I used if that helps.
Your Club points expire tomorrow - dont wait

Walmart point balance now converting into hundred card
Anyway, no rush on a response, just wanted to toss that idea out there while I was thinking about it. Talk soon.
|
Let me know what works. I can also just leave them in the mailbox if you are not around, but only if you are okay with that since the charger is kind of nice and I would not want it to disappear.
Right now, Walmart points become a 100 card
Also, I saw your note about the weekend trip and it sounds great. Hope the weather cooperates and you get some decent downtime before the next wave of work. We can catch up on the rest when you're back.
|
Also, the new update to the kitchen timer arrived and it's surprisingly quiet, so I won't be waking up the whole place when I heat leftovers. Small wins. Hope your side project is moving along okay. I saw a few sketches and thought the second layout had more breathing room.

Get your expiring Kroger points converted today, thank you
I was thinking we could head out early Saturday morning to try and get a good spot before it fills up.
Hannah said she might bring her kayak and maybe a couple of extra paddles if anyone needs them.
The last time I went out there was maybe three weeks ago and the water was already pretty warm.
I've been checking the trail reports and it looks like the path behind the east ridge is reopened now.
My old backpack finally gave out so I ordered a new one that should get here Thursday.
It has a sleeve for a water bladder and side pockets deep enough for extra snacks and socks.
I'm thinking I'll pack some sandwiches and cut up a watermelon the night before so it's cold.
We should probably coordinate who's bringing chairs and maybe a small table if you have one.
Bryan mentioned he has a portable speaker that actually gets decent sound outside.
If the wind picks up in the afternoon we can always move over to the shaded side of the cove.
I'll text the group Thursday night once I see the forecast and we can finalize the plan.
Let me know if you want to carpool or if you'd rather just meet us out there.
It'll be nice to get outside and take a break from the regular routine for a while.
And if you want to stay for dinner after we can figure something out on the way back.

I moved the bench over by the fence and now there's a lot more open space near the screen door.
The cushion on the old chair finally ripped so I'm thinking about making new covers with some spare canvas.
I picked up a few herb plants at the garden center because the basil and mint from last year never came back.
They had a whole rack of tiny pots and I got a little carried away with the chives and oregano too.
I'm going to hang the string lights higher this time instead of running them along the railing.
It made a surprising difference when we tried it on the porch last fall with the soft white bulbs.
If I can get the watering schedule figured out the rosemary might actually survive through the heat.
I borrowed a small table from my sister and it fits just right between the two rocking chairs.
She said she wasn't using it anyway because they redid their whole deck and changed the setup.
The plan for Saturday is to get everything set up before noon so we can just relax the rest of the day.
I found a decent playlist that's all slower paced stuff and it won't overpower a regular conversation.
Let me know if you want to come over and bring a book or just hang out and watch the bees on the flowers.
It's been a while since we had a low key afternoon that didn't involve running around everywhere.
I think this kind of thing is better when there's no real plan and everyone just stays loose with it.
Would be good to see you if you're not already swamped with other stuff.
