My 'glass showplace' work has begun !!

19 years ago

YIPPEEE !!!! My showcase will be my new Yard. I am beside myself with excitement !!! The landscapers are outside now as we speak - tearing everything up and making it my dream yard. It'll be simple & plain jane ..... in other words - a blank canvas !!! My DH is redoing the whole side of our house for me - getting rid of trees, bushes -- making areas of just mulch .... and making a bird feeding area that looks like a natural habitat.

I'm on Cloud 9 ---- Hey Slow - can I Wear your crown for a bit ? I sure feel like a queen having all this work done for me ! I wonder what I did to deserve all this ...

I sure am Happy !

    OH TOOMUCH - I'm so happy for you. Hey, take the crown cuz I'm the Queen of Stooooooopid today. Changed the tire on my wheelbarrow, but bought the wrong size - too big, so I took off the front brace in order to MAKE it work, but the REAL problem is the whole danged wheelbarrow is so warped from overloading it and abusing it that the wheel rod pops out. Taking that wheel back tomorrow and buying a NEW wheelbarrow - makes another planter for the backyard, so all is not lost. Take a bow and take the crown. Yep - Queen of Stupid - that's me - shoulda bought a new wheelbarrow in the first place, but nooooooo, wanted to act tough and repair it myself! Queen of stupid!

    TMG,Sooooooooooooo happy for you! I can tell how much this means to you.If I lived close to you I'd come help you just to share your joy.I remember when we bought our house only grass not a speck of anything else ,no trees no plants.What a joy it was for me to come home from work everyday to see the progress of my labors..however it is a lot of work to keep up so I think your glass idea is great.Happy for you Annie

    TMG, sounds an exciting! So happy for you! Now you can really have fun!!! Can't wait to see your progress.

    Slow, now I know what to do to my husbands wheelbarrow! Slash the tires! I've been wanting one for a planter for a couple of years! See that's not stupid, that's smart because you helped someone else.

    Yeah, uh huh - help you get in big trouble w/your DH. Not to be outdone, I took the tire back, bought the right size and FIXED it GOOD! Yea for me - just too stubborn or determined not to let it get the best of me - a tad tenacious maybe.

    I'm happy for you !!! -- But I'm not telling my DH about you ....
    According to me -- "Women are supposed to be helpless" ....LOL .. I think I Have him convinced ---

    Unless it's something I really want done ...and done right ... suddenly I can turn into Mrs.Fixit ... LOL !!
