Grandbabies,
cute helpers. . sod

The ground where the swing set was to
be placed was not level so Brandn got some of the extra dirt from nearby new
construction. Prepares dirt for new
sod.

These children really like to help,
playing in the dirt just like daddy. We call it a game but they are imitating;
behavior that will become a job.


"Not a rock papa." When I approach the black cat runs into the
soybeans.

The twins have been climbing up this
for months, yet I worry. Flip flop
shoes??

A pallet of fresh sod I bought from
Brockmeyer's near SIU-E. I folded
into thirds each section to place on tailgate for BG to put down.
The twins were curious and to be
helpful, wanted up onto the truck bed
where they found my work gloves, "Got to get this glove on
papa,"


While Brandn and I finished up the sod
laying, the twins inspected every thing and tool they could grab and drop behind
the seat. They also completely unrolled toilet paper and towels. A tape of Pink
Floyd music played on and on. When I opened the door to see if all was okay
Elle told me to close the door and go.
Miss bossy.

His attention to detail was not lost
here either, cutting straight lines with shovel.

To modify a flat boat into a sail boat:
Make a rudder; make a center board which to rope strap to bottom of boat; make
support boards to hold the mast; ropes tied to top of mast for front and back
stability. Modify the trailer for boat with center board to ride.

Make sure your motor works before
getting on the water and have some paddles just in case; always wear a water
vest.

Before there were giant cement trucks
and crews to spread out the yards of wet driveway cement, man mixed it by hand
in a wheelbarrow. Pour and spread out smooth a few feet at a time. And don’t be
in a hurry, it’s a slow job.

With the steep hillside now in hard
cement I can easily back the RV or the boat trailer down the hill without
sliding into a tree.
