weekend in review


So when you think of the high 90's you think of balmy beach weather right?? not so in lovely Virginia... high 90's means your deoderant is gone in 15 minutes, the back of your knees and elbows are sweating and breathing is about is hard as digging a ditch-- yea thats the weather and of course Mike and I had these great plans of outdoor work this weekend. My list consisted of moving some stones that edge the gardens in the backyard, moving some slate pavers, moving about 30 daylilies and cutting the grass... his list was to finish the deck and start on his 2ond carport...well-- Christophers headlights got fixed, the truck got fixed, I moved the daylilies and cut the BACK grass...and Tiffany and I managed to get some of the stones moved... Thank goodness Robin and Christopher were willing to work on the carport with Mike because it was just too darn hot for me (yes too hot for me!!)
Needless to say not everything got done but we did put a dent in it.

But all was not lost on work- we had both kids and their friends home for the weekend and that is always interesting... A big thankyou to christopher for running out to Crosbys and bringing home some great crablegs-- that and Mikes mega steaks from the butcher and we were all set... add alittle tequila and call it a night!
The new deck is proving to be a great place to hang out.. and with these new torches I got at home depot --NO BUGS!!

Your new deck looks as inviting as our new patio - come to St. Louis & sit with us!! AND give Tony some instructions on day lilies - he's been digging & replanting!
