Pati-Oh!

So, the crew just keeps on working. It's definitely a construction zone. Here is the dump truck that brought the pea gravel to lay the bed before they pour the concrete for the patio. Also the cement truck that delivered all the cement.


It was pretty much an all day job to pour the patio. I have to say that I enjoyed watching the cement guys perform their jobs. They sure do know how to work that concrete. This shows some of the work and a sneak peak of the patio.

Never assume life will get easier.......

So the day started out pretty good. The cement guys came and were busily working to get the patio started. Julie and I went out to lunch for my birthday. We went to the quilt shop. The day looked pretty good. UNTIL ....



Yes, it's all too true. This is what happens when too many guys are working and no one is listening to the warnings about the possiblity of water in the basement. However, the new patio looks great. So tune in tomorrow to the results of a hard day of cement work

Adventures of the Backyardigan

Yes, it's true! I am adding a post WITH A PICTURE! Am I doing it by myself, you ask? What do you think? Of course not. Michael is here by my side guiding me through every step, even though Michelle has gone through this with me before. Today I am determined to become blogger literate.
Today yard guy came and started demo on the backyard. I wish all the little grandkids were here to watch the front loader in action. I have to say I was pretty impressed so I know Jaxton would be very interested. This could have kept Jaxton and Gabby busy for hours just watching the backyard action. Here are a few pictures of the mess he made. Now I know why he said we would probably want to put in a new lawn when he is done. See what happens when you decide to put in a new sprinkler system. One little thing leads to many other big things.

Nate and Nicole...A True Match!

While Build-a-Bear I asked Nate to hold camera. This is what I later found. Nicole and Nate are a true match. They both love to make funny faces. Just thought it would be fun to share. (Hope I didn't embarrass you Nate).
