Hola, it was hot and sweaty today - the guys all built up their redneck status.
It was so hot the chicas stayed in the tiny pool most of the day. The ladies
scrubbed down the back hallway after they got back from seeing the horses at a local horse ranch. The boys topped out the diseased tree and then dropped the lower 30′ of it. Then we cut it up for firewood while the chicas hauled all the small pieces way out back; we ran out of gas twice on it!
Then the rotting out sandbox was ripped out and hauled out back, while the other guys were building a new playhouse on top of one set of the hanging balance beams. Jeff is planning this out and it will be solid! Then Carli started splitting the cutup tree and hauling it to the firewood pile. Then we started fixing the small tire swings - seems they had broken off the anchor bolts on one side of one unit and the rest of the swings are suspect.
Later we went to see Sue and Gary’s house near here - they have lots of flowers in bloom right now! There we planned out the rest of the week - tighter time frame. Today was was Bonnie’s last day with us, she has been an encourager to us and just full of energy.
see you Monday,
Felipe
