This day starts my vacation. This weekend we go to Florida with Vaughn and Pat for about eight days. Today I had Hermas Jones bring me a load of topsoil. I started working early in the morning and the only break I took was to go to the Co-op and get some grass seed and wheat straw. I didn't finish until after 5pm. I just about killed myself, especially my back. I'm sure I'm going to pay for it for the next couple of days. Regardless, I got the dirt spread around the padio and the grass sewed and the straw spread. I'm hoping I don't have a drainage problem now but if the grass grows, I think it will really be pretty. I sloped the dirt up to the old well concrete and if it does right, it should really look better.

Linda had her surgery on her colon today and Lita spent the day at the Decatur General hospital. She had some cancer in her colon but the doctors think they got it all.

I haven't posted in quite a while and lots of things have happenned, too numerous to try and recount. One thing we did do is have a concrete padio pad poured and today we had a big cookout on this Mother's day. We had Pat, Vaughn, Leslie, Mac, Jeremy, Amy, Logan, Danielle, Ms Owen, and Christopher. Lauren came by a little later in the day. We cooked hotdogs and hamburgers and mainly had a real good day.

Earlier in the week Mother's air conditioner went out and she stayed us a couple of days. Charlie Schrimsher repaired it friday and we took mother home saturday. Also saturday, Lita and I worked most of the morning on the padio site. We went and got a half yard of pea gravel and spread it between the padio and sidewalk. We also went back to town and purchased a padio table and chair set and a padio swing. It's really starting to look nice.
