Ramblings

Things have been pretty quiet at the Pitt. Dad's been on vacation and other than some small things that nobody else will notice, not much has been going on. Bob successfully sealed the bathroom tiles, I have successfully baked and cooked in the oven and we hosted our first official gathering of friends.

My birthday was earlier this month and my parents surprised me with a patio set. A patio set that they hid in my basement and expected that I would never find before my birthday (which i did). The patio set is super huge and sits a bunch of people. I heart it. See below:



And a picture of my first pie of the season using local rhubarb and strawberries:



We also had a basement adventure. Actually, Bob and my dad had a basement adventure. As they were wiring the stove they found a box in the rafters of the basement. The box looked seemingly innocent:

Clock Radio Telephone. What could be wrong with that? Upon closer inspection the box was filled with old VHS tapes. Pornographic VHS tapes. How do we know this? Well they are labeled, "Star Virgin", "19 an Ready", "Meatball" - we're just taking an educated guess. We are a little bit petrified that they were recorded in the house. Sigh. I guess this is one of the pluses of the Pitt - it's always filled with surprises.
