Let The Work Begin....

For those regular following this blog you know that Megan, Hailey and Alyssa are making a new life for themselves back here in Ohio....here in Newark.......well....here in Claylick......and here on Pleasant Chapel Road.......NEXT DOOR TO US!!

The work preparing the house has been started as you can see. Here's Wes trimming trees and delegating the dangerous roof work to Zoe and Addy!

Zoe has the job of picking the accumulated maple tree gunk out of the spout and deposting it in a tub on the ground.

.......while Adele uses the hose to clean the gutter and send the stream of debris down stream to her sister.....truly a team effort!

To My Friend Paul....

Paul is a frined I used to officiate volleyball with. In the last year we have reconnected since he bought a piece of property down the road.

After purchasing the plot he contracted cancer and has been fighting the tough battle against it with the help of God and Cleveland Clinic!

He planted a wildflower garden that he isn't getting to see much since he lives in Johnstown. So here for you, Paul, is a picture of your garden.

ENJOY!

Gathering at the Botanical

Pat prepared some delicious kabobs which WE then grilled.........

Remember Kids???

As I was listening to Hailey read the Book "Drummer Hoff Fired It Off" I recalled that I have read this book to each of our kids (and now grandkids) a total of hundeds of times! Corporal Parrel brought the barrel, private Parriage brought the carriage...BUT DRUMMER HOFF FIRED IT OFF!

KAHBAHBLOOM!
