This weekend Paul's folks came down and we spent the entire weekend working on the deck. Before you acuse me of abusing and 82 year old man- he really wanted to do it. He wouldn't come and visit until we found some work for him to do. He is also really into woodworking so if you can think of any furnature you need made, let me know. We stained the deck cedar--a little redder than I had hoped but it still looks much better. We also had all new mulch put in and added some plants around the deck--boxwood bushes, burning bushes, maiden grass and knockout roses. Next weekend, I guess I'll work more on the garden part of things. I'm not sure what all I will put in this year --tomatoes for sure, and sunflowers in the back.....maybe some red peppers?? ...we'll see.Mrs. Cox (Paul's mom, that is) seemed to have a good visit too. She brought lemon cookies and tomato juice, so I was happy. She and Owen got to be friends. He was still a little shy, but as long as I was around, he was happy to visit with her. Of course the older boys would not leave her alone. All in all, a very successful visit.

My dad is all about the projects too! We are in the process of stripping and staining our bannisters - nothing makes him happier to come over and scrap a little paint LOL! The deck looks great :-)
