Summer has been busy for us. This week my husband is working on extending our back patio by adding some pavers around the original slab. Since the ground is mostly made up of clay, it is back breaking work to get the digging done. It is going to be wonderful though! He's doing this as our anniversary gift this year. It was earlier in the month, but we couldn't decide what we wanted to do to celebrate it. This makes the perfect gift. For my part, I'm doing some more "releasing" of my huge collection of stuff! I just Free-cycled six big boxes of VHS Tapes! Yay! The lady getting them is disabled and is really going to enjoy watching them. Double blessing... I gain more room, and she gets something she really wanted.
Here is Paul, working hard on the patio.
Doesn't he look happy? That's my Honey!
If you don't see me here quite as much, it's just the summer projects keeping me away.

We have an area around our patio that could use the same! No sunlight equals no grass!
Sweet of you to give the lady the tapes!!
Happy weekend sweetie!
