Milestone Events!
|
Would you believe it? After a month of having a big hole in the ground outside our back door, we finally have what appears to be an enormous back patio. (It's really an office and a family room in disguise.) Dad and James did most of the filling in and smoothing out. Mom and I helped as much as we could, which wasn't really much at all.
I think my biggest contribution was finding a tasty dinner that wasn't going to make everyone hotter than they already were. 'Sides, Dad loves cobb salad. It was either make it at home, or go to Bob Evans and have it. Granted, it was more work to make it myself, but that way everyone can have it made to order instead of setting aside the tomatoes and bleu cheese. Blech. Bleu cheese is gross. Mom says that's the whole point of having cobb salad, but I think the meat and egg slices are more important. James was practically appalled at the thought of putting salad dressing on his chicken. ("You mean I'm supposed to put one of those dressings on bacon and chicken??") We all took turns trying to convince him which dressing to use by elaborating on the best qualities of our respective favorites. But so much for my small contribution to the day's work.
Dad did a great job smoothing it all out. Somehow there did end up being a series of footprints in the cement, but it remains a mystery as to who the culprit was.
This is our new backyard.
This is the cement truck.
This is Dad and James watching the cement man pour the cement.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
