Home ownership

One of the things we like most about our new home is that it is only 3 years old. This means that there is little to do in the way of repairs and up keep compared to an older home. However, our new backyard has a good number of trees and because of that they need to be trimmed. Over the past few weeks Larry has spent a fair amount of time trimming dead limbs and is quite pleased with his progress.

This past Friday our friends Kyle and Paulette were going to be coming through Columbia and were bringing their two little boys. Their little boys were very excited to stop because they know we have a play gym in our backyard. The night before they were to arrive Dana asked Larry why he cut down a live branch. Larry had no idea what Dana was talking about because it had been several days since he had done any trimming. When Larry looked outside he saw that a live limb had come down on top of the play gym. Because the kids were coming it had to be cleaned up immediately. Oh the joys of home ownership.



From what we can tell, the boys really appreciated it.
