there are scones in the oven

and sliced strawberries in a bowl on the counter. Around 7pm, coming back from Marquette, there was a lady on the corner selling fresh picked strawberries from the back of her minivan. She had light blond hair, and five little kids blonder than she, waving little signs that said Strawberries!. I don't know when was the last time I had warm scones with fresh strawberries and ice cream. Last summer, most likely. Oh, heaven!

Mike has gone over to play Battletech with Len and Lucas. I made enough scones for them all, too. Mmmmm.

Jake's been home the last couple of days. He's finally got a job, but he's still deciding which community college he wants to go to - Inver Hills or Normandale. Mike and I took him out for lunch and then he headed back. It was so good to see him.

I painted the tan wall, and the color is fine - I was worried it'd be too dark. I've got to give it another coat in the morning, and then move everything to the other side of the room and paint the other two walls.

I work tomorrow, but then have three days off. So the library will be finished by Monday -- well, except for the bookshelves. I won't have the money for those for a few weeks.
