Home Again, Home Again.

When we got home from out trip the yard needed a lot of work, and with the external fixator on my right arm, I knew I needed help to get the pond in shape. Who would come to my rescue? Vincent the Brave and the Strong! Brave because the water in the pond was so yucky and stinky, and strong because the new pond liner and flagstones were incredibly heavy. Vincent worked at the project for four hours bailing, and heaving and sweating. He totally restored the pond, so it is only fitting that I have dubbed it "Vincent's Pond"!





The pond looks so beautiful now, and it's so peaceful to sit by it and listen to the waterfalls and watch birds come to drink and splash. I love it!! Thank you, Vincent. You're the best!!!


Brian and I were the lucky ones who got to take Jason to the U of U campus, Fort Douglas, for EFY. He was so excited, and when he first arrived they gave him a bunch of neat stuff, ie. name tag, key to his room, a tee shirt, a dvd, a book, and a lanyard to put his ID card on.
Here he is in front of his building, the same accomodations that were built for athletes competing in the 2002 winter Olympics. What a great kid, and what a great experience. We love it so much that we can be involved in a grandparently way with all of you grandkids.
