Pleasant!!

Today it topped out below the 80s! We got a nice morning rain and the rest of the day has been partly cloudy. By 4pm Hannah and I went for a walk around the neighborhood and it was only about 76! We are used to that time of day being hot like the sun, but not today! A light breeze kept us company and Hannah didn't break a pant the whole way - a first here!

So, it's been an eventful Monday! I sent off a chapter to Brian (yippee!!), Dan and I went to Mike n Ed's BBQ ("Come pig out with us!"), and Dan tried his hand at being a hairdresser (or hair stylist as he likes to be dubbed). I have been trying to grow out my hair but I got tired of shedding as much as Hannah, so today I made the decision. High Life's in hand Dan took off about 4 inches! My hair is about shoulder length still and it indeed has what I'll dub the Nelson Flair. It's lucky Iceland is on the table else we may lose him to Miss Betsy's Grand Ol' Hair Salon down the corner (totally made up).

Back to Mike n Ed's - we had a deceivingly filling BBQ pork sandwich - bbq pork on a toasted hamburger bun topped with coleslaw and dill pickles - yum! We also got a side of potato salad (a little mayo-y, but had nice tang) and BBQ beans (stewed with shredded pork!). Mike n Ed's also makes three different bbq sauces to slather on - a spicy, hickory smoked, and mild. The spicy wasn't all that spicy, but I am partial to the hickory smoked myself (Dan seems to agree). Afterwards we were hit with a food coma that has yet to leave us four hours after our meal. It was great to taste yet another southern BBQ - I'm used to BBQ joints being scarce and expensive, thankfully in the South they are neither of those adjectives...The two of us had a filling meal for under $14 - and that's including tip!

Anyhow, about to post pictures now of the haircut!

xo!
