Gazebo!

Richard spent part of last week and all weekend building me a deck and gazebo! It’s beautiful!!! Frank helped Richard and he also helped me pull weeds and spread organic fertilizer. Mason enjoyed running his trucks through the fertilizer (yuck). I’m quite sure he won’t have completely clean fingernails again until the snows come next winter. Mason and Max understandably want to spend ALL their time outdoors now…which is why we really needed the gazebo – so I can work outside while they play. Unfortunately, now it’s supposed to rain all week.

You’ve likely seen the hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of ads posted on the Internet by Examiner.com, which seems to perpetually need writers. You can bet that anyone posting this many help wanted ads is offering really, really low pay.
