'N Stuff

Well, when we got home last night, we had two hours to get the yard mowed.  Kevin started on the riding mower, while I push-mowed the trim work, around the house, etc.  Then, I jumped on the riding mower while he pushed the bank.  We both took a "whack" at weed eating.  We got it done!

While cleaning up the area around the basement door, I realized that I had a ton of bricks.  I knew that I would find something to do with them, then it hit me.  The clean-out pipe was covered by an inverted flower pot.  This made it look like a ceramic flower pot blew off the porch and we were too lazy to move it. 

My brainstorm was to use bricks to make a pad around the clean-out pipe, then set the birdbath on it.  It looks decorative, but can be moved if needed for clogged pipes.  Sometimes I shock myself.  It looks real good.

My van overheated last night.  Kevin has decided that I would drive the truck to work from now on.  It's more dependable and gets better mileage.  That makes me sad, since he's paying for that truck, and he loves it.  Now he has to drive the mommymobile to work each day.  Protesting got me nowhere, so I'll be driving the truck.  He went out tonight and spent hours cleaning it up for me.  What a doll.

Life is good here, other than missing my kids.  I will see the girls again this weekend, and the next weekend they will be home.  I hope to get to see Brett sometime this week.  I hope.
