walbournBeen a busy couple of weeks. I've been spending a lot of time the past few weeks doing the fence staining project a few hours most days (when it was dry) after coming home from work before the sun set, and it is finally all finished including our side and the neighbor's sides of the fence. It was a hell of a lot of work this summer getting it built and getting the new sections and last year's section stained, but it looks great and I'm super happy to be done.
Last weekend we went to Baltimore for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlyeconomist's mom's 65th birthday, and we met my brother Todd and his b/f Jason there. Todd's birthday is this week, and it was only a few hours train ride for them to come down from NYC to meet us in D.C. Rhys flew in from Houston as well. We had a good time, and plenty of great food.
I got news today that my mom is deciding to go ahead and retire. She was going to try to work 2 days a week for another year or so, but apparently she's not been able to regularly get in 1 day a week. The heart is doing fine, but she's just not in good physical shape and her other conditions are apparently making it hard to get up and get going in the morning. My dad seems okay with it, and he's looking to see if he can get down to just 3 days a week himself.
