A day at home: Started out with a late excellent breakfast courtesy of Chef Gil:
Then it was off to work on home improvements: Neal and Gil rented a cement grinder so that Neal could make a groove in the cement basement to direct unwanted water to the drain and Rebecca, Gil, Deb set of to the nursery to purchase plants/ flowers for the garden.
We came home to a cloud of dust in the enitre house, a very cement dusty Neal ( sorry that I failed to get that photo). He had suceeded and later showed the groove off to Rebecca ( after a shower)
So the rest of us got going on the garden. First a before look of the front of the house:
Work in progress
Then the final results ( for today anyway)-
The sun was setting as we finished, so time for dinner soon. Gil made us great Fish Tacos
And then we had strawberries with home made whipped cream, and Neal had to finish off the whipped cream:
The whipped cream must have given Neal special prowress, as he then beat us in a game of Trivial Pursuits.
More tomorrow, our last day before flying home to D.C.
Love, Deb/ Neal
I always love BEFORE and AFTER pictures when home improvement is concerned. It looks like you really made a difference! The three of you were smart to choose the outdoor tasks on such a nice day. Poor Neal down in the basement pouring cement.
