I saw your question about the best way to ripen avocados quickly. Honestly, just throw them in a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana. It works like a charm every time. I learned that trick from my mom years ago. Have you tried making fresh guacamole with them? It is so much better than the store bought stuff. Anyway, I was also wondering if you have seen the new science fiction series on streaming. I just finished the first season and I am completely hooked. The visual effects are incredible and the storyline keeps you guessing. Let me know if you want to borrow the book I just finished, it is extremely similar to the show but goes into way more depth about the characters. I think you would really enjoy it. Oh, and I finally replaced the old light fixtures in the hallway. It makes a huge difference in how the whole space looks. Let me know if you want any help with yours this weekend.

I finally started building that bookshelf I bought last weekend. The instructions are a bit confusing to be honest. Some of the parts are not labeled clearly and I had to redo a couple of steps. But it is starting to look really nice. I will send you a picture when it is done. Do you have any good tips for anchoring furniture to the wall? I want to make sure it stays secure since it is quite tall. Also, how is your garden coming along this season? I heard you planted some new rose bushes. My tomatoes are absolutely loving this warm weather we have been having. I think we will get a bumper crop this year. Let us plan a weekend to get together and do a barbecue or something soon. I also tried that new coffee shop downtown last week. Their cold brew is fantastic and the atmosphere is really nice for reading or writing. You would absolutely love the vibe there.
