Last week, the City of Fate started replacing the drain pipe that goes under our street. About 5 years ago, they replaced the part that was from the street in the right-of-way between our house and the neighbors house.
Part of the old worn out drain had started caving in and it became dangerous. Now they are waiting for the cement people next Monday and hopefully it will get completed next week. In the meantime, Livvy got to play on the piece of drain pipe they didn't use and she even got her little shovel and helped fill in some dirt they left.
Yesterday we worked outside for almost 4 hours in the morning. I trimmed the trees in the backyard and now we can walk under them without ducking. Rbt was using a hedge trimmer on the yaupons in the front. When he sat to drink water, I did some of the yaupon. Then when he started again, I trimmed on a tree or 2 in the front. Then we still had to pick up and clean up all the branches. But everything turned out good.
I would much rather work outside in our yard than in the house or go to a gym for exercise and my daily steps. We have always had lots of trees in our yards and love trimming them. We were dripping wet when we finished!
Last week, my grandson and his family got tickets to a tour at Wallbuilders. Will was homeschooled until his sophomore year and his books came from here. He got his love of history from Wallbuilders and they had so much fun on the tour.
As you can see there were so many different things they got to see on the tour. Will has owned the Founders' Bible for many years, but his Dad bought his own copy of it in leather. I highly recommend if you have kids or grandkids checking out the education section at the top of the link below. Here is the link to the Bible.
I hope you had a great weekend and looking forward to this new week. I'm not looking forward to the noise of July 4th and 5th, because it scares my dogs, but love watching the fireworks. We used to go to the local firework shows, but as I've aged, the heat makes me feel icky...so we watch them on TV now!
