nap time, pork chops, olympics

After our 'most delicious' nap, we headed to the country to . . .

Tyler and Nic's for dinner. She fixed the most delicious dinner ever - pork chops, red potatoes with fresh garden veggies mixed in, homemade bread and grandma's homemade raspberry jam, fresh salad from the garden and much, much more . . . is your mouth watering . . .

clowns for the day - never a dull moment . . .

Ty and Nic worked over 14 hours on Saturday planting their mound and the planter boxes all around the house - really a great job . . .

they planted perennials . . .

about a month ago they poured a patio in the back of the house . . .

and planted a garden that's yielding some d-lish produce . . .

pumpkin just about ready for Halloween . . .

tractor out back from the local farmer . . .

but most importantly . . . GRASS, GRASS and more GRASS . . . not a big deal to most people, but Tyler and Nicole just planted the seed a month ago and now it's really feeling great on the toes . . .

the local 'wild-life' is loving it too . . .

Nic's green thumb saved these struggling little buggers - now they're doing great . . .


sweet little front patio area for evening hang-outs . . .

just a few minutes of sunlight left and these little petunias, sitting on the windowsill, are soaking it up . . .

After dessert, we headed back to our house to watch the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Tyler and Nicole never got cable or dish hooked up - how do you think they get so much work done around their house . . . no TV! I'll miss my daily dose of the Olympics for the next four years - ouch!

I hear you on that one. I have been going and going too hard this month. I passed out and slept all day. Rob has been asleep for the last 4 (from 2 and now it is 6) hours...so he must be tired too.
