The days are just packed.

I don't think one could have asked for better weather this weekend. OK, one could have, I'm sure, but I thought it was two perfect summer days here in beautiful central Jersey.
Saturday, Hopewell had a huge citywide yard sale. People brought their junk out to the curb with the hope that someone might consider it treasure. I didn't find any treasure, although there was some slightly used exercise equipment that I could have gotten. Eh. That's why I have a new bike, at any rate.
On Sunday, I had to make an emergency errand run to the poconos to go pick up some things for my parents. Amazing. They're in Europe, yet they still manage to have errands to run here in the states!
Not that big a deal though, as it was a beautiful, lazy day, and my brother let me use the Merc convertible to take the trip. Hehe. That was fun! Even though the Merc is 20 years old, it still gets looks, and I'm not at all used to that kind of attention, considering the econobox I drive. In fairness to the Mazda, though, it's a sporty little econobox, and fun to drive.
My sister in law later told me that my brother was expecting me to say no like I always do when he asked if i wanted to borrow the car. He kinda wanted to drive it himself and had cleaned it just this morning. Shows you how cool my brother is that he asked and let me take it!
My brother's kids had a rocket launching day with their scout troop yesterday afternoon, and I'd never seen that before. Made me want to try it too! Kids get to do the coolest things!
I highly recommend checking out A Prairie Home Companion, the Robert Altman movie based on the Garrison Keillor radio show. Saw it Friday and really dug it!
