Yeah, I totally agree with you about the trailhead. We ended up going to that little diner instead because the parking lot was completely full. The pancakes were surprisingly good, and they had this homemade maple butter that was incredible. I think we'll try hiking again next weekend but maybe pick a less popular spot. Let me know if you want to join! We could carpool from my place. I'll bring coffee. Also, my neighbor just got a new puppy, a golden retriever, and it's the fluffiest thing I've ever seen. I spent an hour just playing fetch with it in the yard. Anyway, let me know about Saturday. I've been meaning to ask if you finally got that bookshelf assembled. Let me know about Saturday. I can bring the drill if you need one.

Oh, I just finished that novel you mentioned. The plot twist in chapter 12 completely caught me off guard. I stayed up way too late finishing it last night. The author has a really unique style of describing scenes without overloading you with details. I think you'd really enjoy the sequel if you liked the first one. Do you want to borrow it? I can drop it off tomorrow afternoon. Also, I finally tried that new coffee blend from the local roaster. It has hints of dark chocolate and cherry. Really smooth. Let me know what you think when you try it. I've been experimenting with sourdough bread baking. The starter took about two weeks to get really active. The first loaf came out a bit flat but the second one had a great texture and a nice tangy flavor.
