update the weekend

Here we go...

Friday night - we walked to Christie Pitts for ice-cream. Afterwards we went to the Delaware House to see The Wilderness of Manitoba play their CD release party. The Delaware House is a house on Delaware Street, and they host live concerts in the tiny garage in their back yard. The garden was candlelit and the tiny wooden shack filled up with people. The music was great too, with layers of atmosphere and four part harmonies... and Leah pretty much played their CD on repeat all weekend.

On Saturday I went to Home Depot, which always feels like something of an adventure into suburbia. That evening we went over to Robby and Tirza's for a traditional German dinner! We also looked through their wonderful wedding pictures. I am going to miss them when they leave.

On Sunday, Leah and I took the front door off of its hinges and started the process of stripping it down to the solid wood. It is amazing what you can do with stuff that comes in bottles covered in skulls - years of paint bubble and peel right before your eyes. We had to put the door back on to go to church - and I guess we will keep working on it next weekend...
