The NoBlog Zone

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone." --

Well, the NoBlog Zone is nothing like that. Actually it's quite the opposite. It's the more than average, it's the mundane.--

I've found myself in this zone for apparently a couple weeks now.--

Among the mundane are household improvements. Rick has been working on a small roof over the back of the shop to keep it and the items stacked against it (mainly our 2 cords of firewood) dry. I'm in the process of making some alterations to my swingset to accommodate 3 little boys and make it pretty again. The tarp on top had nearly completely disintegrated and pointed out that the whole thing needed attention.--

Last weekend Rick, Sarah and I went to the opening day of the Puyallup Fair. Rick and I hadn't planned to go. Then Sarah said she wanted to go to take pictures "of rides in the dark and stuff". That changed our plans in a flash! Check them out in our smugmug, just click on this picture.--

Our long Labor Day weekend was spent working around the house, although we did go to a BBQ at a coworker's house on a lake south of here. It turned out to be a perfect size group and a perfect day for that BBQ. It included games, a boat ride, fireworks and a campfire. Oh, yes - and Cap'n TJ.--

Rick and I both created Facebook accounts. Facebook is weird and, other than finding people you haven't heard from for ages, largely a waste of time. But reconnecting with old acquaintances is interesting. I haven't been able to find anyone I'm particularly interested in finding. My mom and Dad actually created accounts this week as well!--

What's in the books for this upcoming weekend? More house projects!--

It dawned on me yesterday why it is that we aren't off enjoying this great weather like we did last year - we were dating then. This year we're making alterations to our household - - - in the NoBlog Zone...
