Saturday at the Solomons'
















The picture above reflects a typical Saturday at the Solomons'. While I hibernate inside reading, writing my blog, or cleaning (do you believe that last one?), Carl works on SOMETHING in his shop. Sometimes he creates something fantastic, like a piece of furniture. Other times he works on the neverending "building project" or home maintenance projects. Once he spent several hours creating a book stand for his Nordik Track. I don't think he has ever used the book stand. Clearly, I'm not married to a couch potato.

Youth deer season opened this morning, triggering an annual craziness in Carl. So today he spent his Saturday morning building the deer decoy you see in the picture with Hannah. Yes, you read that correctly. It's a deer decoy.

After several hours of work, Carl excitedly called all us Solomon girls in to see his latest creation. Hailey took one look and said, "It looks like an aardvark." I have to agree.
