We got the top of the window seat painted, in place, and secured last week, which means that the project is down to fascia trim, doors, hinges, floor, toe kick, and cushion. We also did a lot of work to get ready for company, who arrived Thursday night.

Mom's visit started a bit slowly with a late night Thursday and a quiet night at home Friday as Jenelle didn't feel well and we didn't have any plans, but over the weekend we went into the city and spent a great day touring the top parks of the Lehigh Valley - Rodale and Little Lehigh. Throw in some fine cooking (sweet and savory crepes, polenta, pork chops, and quiche so far) and that's a good time.

It has been a bit of a slow week at work. It's hard to keep things rolling on my purchasing projects; suppliers aren't as gungho! to reduce their prices and face competition as you might think, and internal people have a ton of other stuff to do and less motivation than I anticipated for big savings. But, I've gotten involved in a simulation of our supply chain interface and been leading a new logistics idea/initiative/thing and there are always extracurriculars to keep me tired and busy. Tonight is hoops at Emmaus, which start in 26 minutes.
