so many projects, so MUCH DAMN TIME

We are still managing to stave off boredom. Sometimes we are assisted by mother nature - in the form of a terrific hail storm and flooding rain.



(An unimpressive shot of the hail in our yard.)



(The white stuff beyond the porch rail is hail!)

The storm was impressive, and so was the amount of water pouring into our basement.
It was all The River over here.
We were busy for quite a while what with the mopping and syphoning and shop-vacking and diverting and bailing. Very busy.

But we're not always so lucky. Sometimes we have to make our own fun.
What have we been up to?
Well, let's see...



SOMEONE thought it would be a hoot to play Monopoly. STAR WARS MONOPOLY. And, I have to say, once we got over the mildew smell (SW Monopoly has been stored in the basement for YEARS. Have I mentioned that the basement floods sometimes?) it was kind of fun. Hilarity ensued. It took TWO sittings for us to finish the game! Do I sound excited?
Holding the deeds to Yavin Four and Endor can be quite profitable.



There was some wheeling and dealing, but, in the end it was Youngest against K and K won and order was restored to the universe. TWO sittings, people. I only wish I could recall some of the incredibly funny Star Wars jokes we made.

K and Middle made a few batches of sausage.



What? Stuffing collagen casings with ground pork and spices isn't your idea of a fun summer afternoon?



I see what you mean. But eating it is pretty terrific.

How about putting together some very complicated lasagna rolls? With spinach and ricotta cheese?

Yeah.
I know.
But we're trying.

Middle just grabbed a 55 gallon fish tank from the garbage. He's going to shoot some "cloud tank" shots with condensed milk.
I'll keep you posted.
