Airport Runs

We started out early this morning. First we went by the duplex, where we dropped off some stuff and picked up Annie and Edie to take them to the airport for their trip to Yellowstone for Edie's family get-together. After we dropped them off, we went to the cell phone waiting lot and waited to hear from Chris and Shawn, who were flying in from Montana. We picked them up and headed to the duplex again.

Shawn needed to get ready for her 1:00 p.m. interview, and Chris had a conference call, so we dropped them at the house, and we went to the Outer Rim bike shop to drop off my Electra. I've had shifting problems fixed twice before. Each time it seemed okay, only to quit working soon afterward. Of course we've moved on by the time I figure out that the repairs haven't worked. This shop had some great online reviews, so we're hopeful that the bike will really be fixed this time.

After lunch we got a call that the bike was ready, so Ken and Chris and I went to pick it up. Afterward we met Shawn at the townhouse she is having built. She brought along some paint samples to meet with the builder and with her real estate agent. She had gotten a call over the weekend while they were in Montana saying she had to come in right away to decide on paint colors.


Shawn's new townhouse is on the right.

Today was Wes Johnson's birthday. We called to wish him a happy birthday but got their voicemail, so we left a greeting.


I fixed dinner tonight, a butternut squash pasta with autumn pesto (based on a Rachel Ray recipe). I made it with spaghetti instead of the penne called for in the original recipe--because that's what I had on hand. It turned out delicious, but I think the penne version is better.

Chris had to wash clothes and pack to leave in the morning for Tampa on a business trip, so we didn't stay too late, but we did get a chance to go over at least some of our plans for things to do this visit.
