The dream of a life-time
I know that I have been real slow at doing this blog, but I didn't think retirement would keep me so busy. We joked today that for the last week we would take one day off and do nothing. Well at least I have something to look forward to as that day has not arrived yet.
To keep everyone up to date, we have the house livable, and the garage sale is over. I guess we sold enough to pay for the ad and to have a meal at a cheap joint. the rest of the stuff went to the S. Army for resale/scrap. We also had a junk/scap dealer show up so we dropped everything else and loaded out 3 trailer loads of scrap. That kept us busy for awhile.
We also found some nice lilac plants uptown so we can have stinky flowers next year. We planted them north of the house to replace all the old evergreen trees that we had removed. I think I need a few more to complete the future snow/wind break so I will pick them up soon.
Net is, the one thing Sandy always joked about us moving back to IOWA, was that there was nothing to do but watch the grass grow. Well tonight her joke came true, as we all sat outside for 2 hours watching the little tractor lawn sprinkler work away plus watch the sun go down. I hadn't seen the sun go down like that since we moved away and I did miss that. In FDLthere was no real place to sit around the house and watch it.
So watching grass grow was easy today.
