Good things for June
1 - I picked cherries from a tree while driving a bus. Well, while stopped at a bus stop.
2 - My package of Emerald Natural Walnuts & Almonds says on the back: "Ingredients: Walnuts and Almonds. CONTAINS WALNUTS AND ALMONDS." Who would have thunk it.
3 - Amanda made a lovely dinner featuring the whole spectrum of food: from a box, frozen, locally grown by farmers, and front-porch grown by us.
4 - Amanda noticed the black snake at the back door before it did anything scarier than existing. Also, Jonah really enjoyed his bath extra much, with extra kick-splashing and giggling at the rubber ducky.
5 - Splendora's gelato was perfect on a hot day
6 - The sermon was on "eco-theology" and there was a church picnic in the afternoon
7 - The weather was lovely and we walked to Mas and had a somewhat fancy dinner outdoors.
8 - I drove a bus again, and the driver after me was there on time (and a little early).
9 - Tour of the new CAT bus operations and maintenance facility with other co-workers.
10 - Went to part of a conference in Richmond, played on buses, and got to tour another new bus operations and maintenance facility.
11 - Finally, a quiet day at work to catch up on everything. And a quiet night at home too.
12 - Jonah met Asher.
13 - Jonah enjoyed making loud, high-pitched screaming sounds (for fun, we think). We enjoyed them too. (For now. Enjoyment was over by the 15th, when he continued screaming most of the day.)
14 - My first bicycle and pedestrian committee meeting was interesting.
15 - I got to put Jonah to sleep, and he was really sweet about it, even if it took a long time.
16 - It was weirdly yellow outside due to an evening thunderstorm. Dehydrated-pee yellow, I believe we determined.
17 - Excited about our upcoming trip. A webinar helped the afternoon at work go by more quickly.
18 - Rental car (a pretty blue Camry)! Safe trip to West Virginia (despite the burning tow truck on the mountain)! Hot tub!
19 - By the numbers: 80 - the route number of the Forest Road I biked down. 214 - the number of steps I walked down and up with the baby carrier to see Blackwater Falls.
20 - Semi-off-roading in the rental car through Dolly Sods. Lovely weather at Spruce Knob, too.
21 - Cookout at work for the boss's birthday
22 - Amanda and Jonah met me downtown for dinner
23 - Two "small world" moments remind me of the interconnectedness of life, especially in a small urban area.
24 - Other than an extended power outage, we had no damage from the crazy storm that went through in 15 minutes and took down dozens of trees.
25 - The power came back on!
26 - We crammed in a lot of activities in Waynesboro when my parents came to visit.
27 - No sermon, only music.
28 - Movie night on a Monday was nice.
29 - We finally made a decision we'd been working on for a while.
30 - The weather was finally nice again! So nice that Amanda brought me a zucchini muffin at work (she also brought Jonah for everyone to coo at).
