This will be the best summer ever! We will anxiously await the birth of our grandbaby as we build a new child proof deck. We are sitting here having coffee and hearing the furnace run in the background - it was 60 in here this morning. Ed is heading off to Menards to place the order for the decking and I am off to get the groceries and the Heartgard. We have a nice young man with construction background that lives around the block that has contracted with us to build our deck. Since the building is slow these days he has a job in another field for now and does the construction in the evenings and on weekends. Tonite we tear down the old deck and begin a one level with a gate deck to enjoy in the future summers with our growing family. If anyone is doing a home improvement or addition please post pictures and lessons learned. Someone can go take pictures of Mae's kitchen and we can see her progress. I only wish she would post her progress so we could hear how hard it is to redo a kitchen. So anyhow let us enjoy the summer together from near and far! I have also posted a picture of my Lily Of The Valley, hope you can smell them they are ohhhh so fragrant. Julie

I love the smell of Lilly of the Valley, somehow I don't think they'll grow well here:) Sounds like quite a project. From what I know, Mom's kitchen is coming along great, but it is difficult to have a kitchen redone. We are still unpacking, but loving the house.
I love that you guys just set your minds to doing a project and then get it done. I think I have 4+ projects partly done, but we're actually going to complete one this summer. we've cut out the bushes at the front of the house and are tearing down the flower bed and putting in a stamped patio. I'll let you know how it goes.
You two are an inspiration to us!
Keep us posted!
Love,
Rita
So, Mom (Mae) says that the cooler weather this spring has contributed to the very fragrant flowers. Our lilacs are still blooming (for a little while longer) and smell wonderful, too. We can smell our lilies of the valley even when we're in the house with the windows open, this year more than ever.
