Look at those puppies go! They are so going to love their new space. I almost forgot to look at the area you are tearing apart as they're such cuties. I like the shape of your new gardens too.

Everything looks really good, Boo. I think it's a smart idea to lay out the fake patio are. Pouring patios are tuff work, I know.

I do appreciate all he does, but at the same time he's a finisher by trade and I've been waiting for this patio for 9 years.

Oh, that makes sense then. My neighbour's a carpenter by trade and still has to install the gate on his fence to keep his twins inside. Right now the gate, which I gave him with the fencing I took down from the back of my yard, is lying on it's side across the opening. The fence has been up for three years.

I hear that's always the way. I have a friend whose husband is a chef. She gets tired of hearing everyone saying she's lucky because she must get gourmet meals cooked for her all the time. She barely sees her husband as he's always busy working, cooking for others. As she says, "I don't get to see him cooking, I get to see him snoring."

Isn’t it the way it always goes? Well, usually anyway. My friend’s DH owned a cement company. Their entire back yard was cemented over with holes for plants, trees and a few small flowerbeds. She loved it but it looked awful to me. They had to have all that cement removed before they were finally able to sell their home.

It’s looking great, Boo. I’m sure Cliff will do his share as soon as he is able to. Fingers crossed anyway.
