Today we spent about 4 hours in the yard working. Mainly mowing and trimming. Tom and I were working near the road and Tom got the mower stuck - really stuck. We got our truck and tried to get it out and all we succeeded to do was break the tow strap in different places with each attempt. So, time to get to know our neighbors. Tom ran over there and asked if he could bring his tractor and get it out. It came out on the first attempt with a tow chain.
After that we finished trimming and cleaning near the road and then Tom mowed the yard. I finally had to stop with the push mower because we bent the blade. So, now we have to take off the blade and get a new one. Good reason to stop for the day. And what a day it has been. This was more of a workout then my Wii Fit.
We did get some of Kristi's furniture moved to the garage so we can move Alayna out the the living room and maybe be able to paint Alayna's old room so that it will be Oma's living room. Right now it is a deep purple and we are going to paint it off white or ivory color. Something not so dark.
Yesterday, Tom went with his mom, dad and brother to Kearney, MO for a graduation ceremony for his cousins' son. I had things that I had to get done here so I stayed behind. I was glad that I didn't go since he didn't get home until after 8 last night. It was just like old times for them. The 4 of them on a road trip.
Tonight we are going to have pork steaks and fried potatoes and steamed spinach for supper. I am so ready for a nice quiet night. We will probably play Wii with Alayna for a little while.
