Work and Play

OH, THANK HEAVEN: First thing this morning, our day got a little brighter when I spied a Facebook memory alerting me to the fact it was July 11, also known as 7-11, also known as the day 7-11 stores offer free Slurpees.

We never buy Slurpees. (Well, except for when it's bring your own enormous cup day.) But we will get Slurpees when they're free. In fact, we might even go to more than one 7-11 and get more than one free one ...

Flavors sampled today included Sour Grape, Watermelon Lime, Cotton Candy, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Coke, and Pepsi Fire. 

Christian and Annabelle didn't finish their Slurpees. CJ sucked two down (that he's reporting).

SPLASHY: CJ is in his second week of a programming class at Seattle Center from 11 to 4:15 each weekday. He texted this a.m. asking to go to the fountain after class today. We'd been working in the dark, dirty, dusty basement most all day, and so we thought the fountain would be a nice break. It was!
While we were there, a wedding party showed up for photos. That was interesting. The crowd on hand cheered them. One woman in the wedding party wasn't paying close enough attention and got her face doused. She was so angry. Not gonna lie, it was pretty funny to see.
Regarding CJ's class, he's learning Java Script and HTML. Naturally, he is putting these new skills to use by designing a Shar-Pei-based website.

While CJ was at school, we packed and packed and packed some more in prep for our upcoming move. We also did yard work for the last time on this particular plot.
 We're leaving the home's new owner a garden that's starting to produce some produce.
The pepper plants seem especially happy this year - we've had over 30 days of warm, dry weather.

  1. Programming class sounds like fun. Now the trick is to include the wedding photo incident in a game.
