pointers and potluck

this weekend, we met with erik wightman who will be helping to make some house repairs. he also has a german shorthaired pointer named oliver, but often calls him ollie. as soon as ollie leaped from the truck, a chase ensued.

they both managed to sit still for a moment before ollie decided to run off into the forest.

some of the repairs that we are doing include a bathroom cieling, as well as a reframing of the basement door for better security, better insulation, and aesthetics. in the back of the house, there will be some siding that needs replacing from when the pipes were insulated.

that night, we went to a neighborly potluck dinner. we met most of our neighbors who live on or near our road. we brought a couple bottles of wine and made a hazelnut chocolate cake. the cake was a hit.
