Cat and I had planned to come up to Harrisburg for a coworkers girlfriend’s birthday party when we got a call from one of Cat’s friends, Arthur Traldi, who was en route to his new job working for the United Nations in Tanzania. Unfortunately, he had car trouble in our fair Capitol city, but it made for a nice time to see him off and have a cup of coffee at the Atlanta Bread Company in Harrisburg.
Thereafter, we had some time to spare, and I made good on my promise to Cat to see the movie Earth with her. This was the first time that we have gone to the movie theater together believe it or not! We both really enjoyed this movie and Cat is looking forward to the follow up, Oceans.
Finally, we ended up at my coworkers home in Harrisburg and played a few games of Carcassonne with her better half’s new expansion pack in addition to various merriment and food.
Cat and I have wanted to do a garden, then we resolved to wait until next year so the home remodeling efforts will be complete, but one afternoon we couldn’t help ourselves but to go outside and work in the yard. We cleared a small patch and planted spaghetti squash, beans, and radishes. Inside, we started an herb garden and are anxiously waiting for the plants to sprout. Cross your fingers!
We’ve had a very busy past for weeks hence the lack of posting. Yesterday, we were tickled to receive a rose at church as the newest members of Christ Church UCC along with those who have reached over ninety years of age. We need to hang in there another fifty five years to get another rose!
Cat had a nice jewelry party with a friend, Julia, along with family members Lori Ebersole, Kathy Donahower, and Karen Yeager. The girls had a lot of fun while I took some time insulate, mud part of a ceiling, and wash the car.
We finished up a busy day with a marathon Kmart and Giant trip. At the former we saved at least 70% on all items purchase save one. We bought two bottles of conditioner, three deodorants, floss, two tubes of toothpaste, and body wash for less than nine dollars thanks for some adept couponing. We’re new to this couponing thing but are excited at the progress we’ve made. Cat’s homecooking has also been a great cost saver. We priced kiesh and hummus at Giant, for example, and we save eight dollars and three dollars respectively each time Cat makes it at home.
