Back after a few days off. This time it was non-business, rather, a wedding on the Ohio River. Just goes to show though how quickly one can forget the work-a-day demands and expectations when you're thrown 600 miles from anything resembling normalcy. Until you check your work email. (note to self: don't do that)
Aside from the wedding and meeting Cara's extended family we were able to do some exploring ourselves. Managed an IKEA stop on the way to Cincinnati where I left with more ideas than anything. Love the fabric, but so expensive. Found a Macy's Home that had the couch I was wanting to see in person. Marked "clearance". Hmm. Of course no one could be found for questions in the dim 80's lower-level of the place. Saturday then we parked smack-dab in downtown Cinci and took a stroll. Stopped in Sak's, Macy's, Cara had a look in Tiffany's and I almost bought an italian hat at the famous Batsakes of Cincinnati. Came _this_ close. A stroll through an area undergoing urban-renewal yielded a few stores that were right up our alley.
There goes September. The morning drive requires the heater and jackets are starting to pop out in the parking lot. Now we enter that month that either pulls-through for us or folds over like a wet paper plate, letting November steal the show. I need a few more nice days though, with EIFS work to do and foam to put up the temps have to be pretty decent. We'll give it a shot this Sunday.
