clearfield

I went to Clearfield again yesterday afternoon. Shortly after I got there, Jeff’s sister invited us to their camp for hot dogs and mountain pies, so we hung out at his place for a little bit and went there closer to suppertime. Another couple I met before (at trivia night) was also there. The dogs enjoyed the camp and getting snacks from everyone, and I always love a campfire.

After that, we went back to Jeff’s because 2 of his granddaughters were going to be stopping by for trick-or-treating. They were very cute! Since I was in Clearfield, I missed trick-or-treating at my house. I think this is the first time that has happened.

Before I headed home, we hung out some more and talked about the state of the world, which is not ideal.

This was a weird movie. Watching it was kind of like watching a bad dream. It had an open-ended ending, which I kind of hate, but before that, it was very unique.

My rating: 3/5

Daughtry

Jeff is a fan of Daughtry, so when I saw they were coming to The Palace Theatre, I offered to treat him to the concert for his birthday. He accepted. It was an interesting show, as the songs spanned their 20-year career, but in an acoustic format.

The opener, Ryan Perdz, also did an acoustic set. I really liked his cover of Michael Jackson’s song, Billie Jean.

books

r is for ricochet

I’m about two-thirds of the way through this series and am still loving these stories! I’ll be sad when I’m done, but I guess that won’t be for a bit since I usually read a couple of other books in between.

My rating: 3.5/5

work date

I went to Jeff’s yesterday to help him build a metal shed. I got there in the afternoon so we only had a few hours of daylight in order to work on it and that definitely was not enough. We were able to build the frame and install the corner panels, but we only got one of the side panels installed before it turned dark and cold. That said, everything is set up for production mode now except maybe the roof framing. I bet it takes him another 4-6 hours to finish; we’ll see. One thing that I did not anticipate was having to remove a plastic covering from all of the panels. That took forever! Jeff invited his dad and stepmom over so that we could meet, and they pitched in and helped with the plastic; otherwise, I’d still be removing it. Haha.

I took the dogs on their first trip to Clearfield yesterday. They hung out in the yard all afternoon and barked at everyone who walked down the street, which was apparently exhausting because they didn’t get me up until 7:40 am today for their breakfast. That might be a new record. They met Jeff’s cat, Nutmeg, who was not thrilled about it. Hopefully she will warm up eventually, but she did let the dogs know that she wasn’t going to be taking any of their crap, so they left her alone.
