Working Hard at Doing Nothing

It's not easy doing nothing. It takes planning and work. So that's what we tried to do this weekend....It wasn't easy but I think we accomplished our task.

In honor of labor day we tried hard to stop laboring. We spent a good part of the day lounging under the trees in the park in the photo....Parkers Landing, a registered Historical Site, and the location of the first organized town North of the Columbia River.

We enjoyed fried chicken and fresh Marionberry pie. The pie got squashed on the journey to the park, but still tasted good in spite of it's looks. The dogs had a great time to. Sketch just seemed to enjoy being out, and among friends...Guido of course was hyper as usual and managed to wrap his chain around anything and everything, including nearly uprooting a nice little rose bush.

We also rented some movies, this weekend for the first time in quite a while. We watched "Hot Fuzz" Very funny, we recommend it highly, and "Copying Beethoven'. I liked the concept of this one, but it wasn't near as good as other movies on Beethoven that I've seen. the script was weak and the dialogue sounded like modern day English.

All and all, it was a very nice 4 day weekend..and we are all re-energized to get back to the grindstone. That re-energization should last at least for a couple hours......
