Weekend in Review

Nicely, this weekend felt like it took a very long time. Friday I went for a run - Patches enjoyed racing up and down hills at the off leash park and I enjoyed not having to hold on to him. Jon completed a bowl with lid at wood turning class.

Saturday started out with a trip to Home Depot - every home repair project requires at least two trips to get everything. We also stopped by the carpet store near our house and Jon was given 8 free carpet samples. Using those and the wood we bought from the discount bin at HD, we managed to create a very nice scratching post for the cat. Project number two was a wine bottle drying rack.

We spent the afternoon geocaching near Bearspaw Dam and then relaxing on the couch with some spicy curry soup.

Sunday morning we went for a run - a little chilly but beautiful with the snow falling on the trees. We followed that up with a trip to Sportscheck where we purchased new winter jackets. I haven't owned a real winter jacket in years - hopefully it provides warmth for the next few months of winter on those long walks with dogger.

The rest of the day was spent bottling wine batch #1. We've got 15 bottles in bottles and another 15 in a mini-carboy "aging for improved flavour".

Other exciting weekend events including practicing Spanish for class on Tuesday night (we are currently learning numbers, dates, time and the weather) and grocery shopping.
