Paradise ponders: dogs, Tesla, good eats, and rock man edition... Got my Tesla Model X serviced without incident. My couple of near-trivial complaints (for instance, the falcon-wing doors squeaked a tiny bit) were dealt with handily. They found me a bottle of touch-up paint for the dings I've suffered. When they were finished, they cleaned my car inside and out – looks like new! I did notice slightly different handling on the drive back home, even more stable and solid than it was before. I love my Model X. :)
Randy Bingham, the mason who's done such nice work for us, stopped by with a sample of the rock he's recommending for our porches. It was gorgeous! It's available up to 4" thick and in slabs big enough to cover every step and landing with a single piece, except for the biggest landing on our front porch. That one we'll do in three pieces, so that the center piece we'll most commonly walk on will be seamless. He's putting that rock on order this afternoon. Slowly – very slowly – our yard is starting to come together...
Randy brought one of his dogs, a little tiny thing named Kate. She weighs maybe five pounds. She's usually very skittish of strangers, Randy tells us, but she came right up to both Debbie and I. Randy was really impressed with that. :) I spent a half hour or so today just playing with the dogs on our deck; great fun was had by all except Mr. Grump (aka Miki). He just looked on, all put out, from the most distant corner.
We had a wonderful afternoon meal. Debbie made her world-famous artichoke chicken, so good it will make your brains fall out. I failed to take a photo because I didn't want anything to get in the way of stuffing it into my face. Afterwards we drove up to Aggie's Creamery and had a delicious ice cream cone. Sometimes our life here feels downright decadent, and in large part that's because of how well we're eating. We've eaten like kings now for about three years, about half home cooking and half eating out...
