Memorial Day

Our Memorial Day Weekend was full of family. Lots and Lots of family - well at least on Saturday. Come Monday, we needed some time to hang out at home and that is just what we did.
That morning we played tennis for the first time this season and the first time in our new neighborhood. We hit pay dirt when it comes to tennis courts. The local high school is just finishing up their first first year of school. They have AWESOME tennis courts only minutes from our home. They even have bleachers for our adoring fans. This will be our home away from home Saturday mornings for the rest of the summer.
Later that morning we planted our garden. Nothing big but we have a pumpkin, 2 tomatoes and lots of peas. I didn't want to plan too much since we still need to put in the sprinkler system this summer.The rest of the day was spent hanging out watching tv and BBQing. It was our first dinner on our patio.We may not have made it to the cemetery but as most of you know, I frequent the cemetery on more than an annual basis.

Workin' on the Patio

We decided to buy cement pavers and create our own back patio. In just a few hours, Rick doubled the size of what was existing.

Someday we will pour cement and put on a cover but until then I have my big stud putting in a patio for me.

When I came home from work tonight there was another row added.
