Actually I got your message about the picnic this weekend. I'm still on the fence about coming because I need to finish up that reading for Monday. But if we can leave early I might make it. I'll let you know by Friday morning. Let me check my schedule first.

Also, I wanted to ask if you've seen those new chairs at the store on Main Street? They have this really nice fabric that repels stains. I've been thinking about getting one for the living room. Would you recommend them?

One more thing – my sister's birthday is next month so I'm brainstorming gift ideas. If you have any suggestions let me know. She loves cooking and gardening but I don't want to get her something she already owns.

I was telling my coworker about that movie we watched last week. She said she might check it out over the weekend. I think she’ll like it because she’s into documentaries. Have you seen any new good ones lately?

By the way, I finally fixed that lamp I was telling you about. It was just a loose wire after all. Took about ten minutes with a screwdriver and some tape. Feels good to cross it off my to-do list.

Also, are you still planning that trip to the mountains? I remember you were looking at cabins last month. If you need a recommendation, let me know. I have a few hidden spots saved from last summer.
