A week with a holiday weekend is a week full of joys, and work. We spent this holiday weekend replacing our kitchen sink, faucet, plumbing, and garbage disposal, and (thanks to a lot of help from my dad) it was a very successful venture with very enjoyable results. On our day off we enjoyed a cookout with friends, and the rest of the week was relatively quiet—we are enjoying the bluebird pair and the flowers blooming in our yard, and have become driveway sitters. Every neighborhood has them.
