This movie starred Robert Pattinson, who robbed a bank with his mentally challenged brother. After his brother got caught, he spent the rest of the time trying to get him out of jail (using both legal and non-legal methods). It was an interesting enough story, though I found the soundtrack distracting (on the other hand, Brian liked it).
My rating: 3/5
I’m taking a cue from our CSA farmer and am planting strawberries in the fall. Actually, I planted them yesterday, but you get the idea. Strawberries have to be replanted every so often and my strawberry bed was definitely spent this summer. So, I thought I’d give this method a try. I found the plants on Jung Seed (they are hard to find at this time of the year). The farmer replants every year–not sure I will do that, but we’ll see how things go. I planted the same variety I had before, so this will be a good performance test. Expect another update next June.
Esme turned one yesterday! Brian took her out for ice cream–what a lucky dog. It’s hard to believe she’s been around for 8 months already. She has fit in quite well with our family with the exception of her hatred for cats (at the house) and clients (at the office).
Brian and I went to Canonsburg yesterday for Miss Avery’s first birthday! It’s hard to believe a year has already passed since she was born. She had quite a turnout for the event. With so many milestones on both sides, we got to see a lot of each other this year.
Our balcony railing has needed replaced since we bought our house 22 years ago. Since the existing railing would have to be removed in order to do so, there never seemed to be a good time to do it. But, now that we’re getting down to the wire with selling the house (hopefully in a year or two), we needed to get that project done. Conveniently, Jake went to the beach with one of his friends the other week, so we started on the project then. It actually took a lot longer than we thought it would (it always does), but at least the handrail was in place by the time he returned home. On Thursday evening, we finished installing the balusters, so now the project is complete! And, it looks amazing.
