Labor Day 2016
Just as we were getting our backyard landscaped, Jon & Kathy announced they were taking Labor Day, Doh! This year the food theme was German.
Backyard Redux 2016
The sloping backyard has always been a problem with regard to mowing the grass and as I get older its more of a concern. Since the drought we have let the lawn die and it’s been looking pretty bad. Sandy had the great idea of extending the lower wall, leveling it off and planting sod. …

It wasn’t possible to fit everyone and their luggage in these small vehicles. Luckily, Joan was able to pull …
