Burfday weekend
Jun. 17th, 2012 09:25 pmGary's, not mine. We are six months apart, diametrically opposed both on the calendar and astrologically. But that isn't necessarily bad. It means that to a significant degree, our skills and interests are complementary, and as a result we make a good team for some projects.
Took him out today and made him pick out a new desk chair for his office, and bought it for him as a birthday/father's day gift. His old one was a faded blue fabric one left from his workplace, and he has had it as long as I've known him (30 years.) It squeaks and creaks and the fabric is wearing thin. The padding on the seat and back is completely flat. It was definitely time for a new one but I had some convincing to do before he agreed to it.
Then we made an experiment. Pulled pork barbecue (Yes I know, but it was his birthday this weekend) and it turned out surprisingly good. Also I made bumbleberry pie: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and apples.
