GARBAGE DAY.....



Monday night chore is putting out the garbage for the morning pick up. I think I am the only one on the block who has more than one can. This picture looks good....most of the time we have 4 to 5 cans in all. It amazes me, all our 6 kids are gone and we still have this much garbage. (You should see it when some of the kids come home with their kids for a visit......garbage overload.) There are times in the fall when we have lots of leaves and bags and bags of garbage. We have so much the garbage man leave some behind, to my total embarrassment!
The most embarrassing part is when the other neighbors, like next door, have one plastic bag full or down the street one can. We are talking about a neighborhood now whose kids have grown and gone. What a person to do. I have even tried to have only one can and that only happens when we are gone for the weekend.

Oh well, not much to do but admit I am a garbage junkie.....at least it gives the garbage men something to look forward to or ...talk about!

FINALLY!!! OUR PARKING GARAGE

TAKE A LOOK!!


Yes I am a slacker!!! Summer has been so busy with yard work, trips, scrapbook retreat, reunions and just playing around.

My biggest highlight of the summer was June 27th we finally got to park into the garage and I LOVE IT> (right now there are 2 BIG loves in my life my automatic sprinklers 2 years now and our parking garage!) The best part about the garage it keeps your car so cool and never have to get into a HOT car again. Here is some pictures of this 8 million dollar parking facility. It is pretty nice Hun???
Next highlight: our backyard with 3 weeks of new grass looking really good. I told my husband I am done digging and spreading and planting! You want to know what his new project is? A deck around half of the house and first thing that has to be done.....dig up a tree!!! It is never ending! He never rests! Here is the results:


looking at the raised garden...grass growing around it and the tramp.

this is the side of the yard where we had a huge tree.....love it!
We have accomplished much for an old pair like us and still have time to go to movies and swim.....stay tune for my next adventure!
