Jeanine and I spent a good part of the day at Kyle’s place helping out with his basement renovation project. Today, we worked on wall framing and new window installation. We never seem to accomplish as much as we had planned on but things are shaping up nicely. Kyle is learning many new skills as we go and accumulating a good set of tools along the way.

Jeanine prepared a delicious salmon dish this evening to start the new year on a healthy note. Earlier, I was dispatched to the supermarket to retrieve a package of barley for another component of the meal. I added a pint of Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk to the basket to ensure we maintained a well-balanced diet.
