Did a bit of work on the garden area today. Mostly levelling the grade of the dirt. (It is back-to-school time….) I also figured out the paver area in the flower garden area next to the area that will be the vegetable garden. That area will be a memorial area for Jason. The plans are for a bench on the pavers, some sort of small shade structure over that area, and a tree with some flowers and bushes.

We had an early birthday party for Stacy last night. She is turning 25, so, being the clever person I am, I gave her some “25” presents. There was a movie about a quarter horse (at least it looked like a quarter horse), a roll of quarters, a box of crayons (there were 24, since that’s how old she is now, but they cost 25 cents), and a small stuffed toy quarter horse. Max (grandson, 5), who is the cowboy in the family, grabbed that stuffed horse toy. Pam got her a Wii game she had been wanting, and a book. The grandkids each made a little card, and Joelle (9) made a nice crafty-type card. Fun was had by all.
