Election Day

All Saints' Sunday

Beautiful Ribbons with Loved Ones' Names

Draped over the Altar.

They will be made into Christmas ornaments

and hung on the church's Christmas tree

prior to being given to the family member of the

loved one.

I was able to light a candle for Mom and for

my Smart Sister's partner.

HAPPY COMPLETED BACKYARD!

Made some HAPPY for friends of the family as a little wedding gift inside the card:

Our backyard is going through some changes, slow but sure.

They should be replacing our fence today sometime, then the pavilion needs to be built before water can go into the hot tub.

Fence was put back the same day as hot tub arrived and the pavilion building has BEGUN (as of September 20, 2018)!

Time to get a doormat, wouldn't you agree, Musketeer?  A-hem!

End of the work day for September 21, 2018:

Monday, September 24, 2018
We got the BEST construction crew EVER!  They have been keeping our yard tidy the entire time, we have never heard them cursing, they don't smoke in our yard, they are so polite, but best of all, their work is OUTSTANDING!!!

 

They knew what I needed without me even asking:  Handrails to help get out of the hot tub!

We've been using the big piece of plywood, left over by the roofers, to try to block the side of the house, but SOMEONE was still able to chase the squirrels that run along the top of the fence to the left, out to the street.  Musketeer is checking it out now.  :)

Thanks for looking!
