Britton and my dad worked this whole weekend putting in a sprinkler system at the new rental house. We made a couple of trips to Big R (the farming and sprinkler store in Greeley). One trip they forgot a bunch of things and sent ME by myself back to pick stuff up! I felt like I was speaking a different language…”uh, I need 12 one inch to 1/2 inch poly threaded elbows and five King Drains” or something like that. I think I did pretty well considering.
I didn’t do much of the manual labor compared to them, but I did help fill in trenches and replace the sod that had been dug up.
Sprinkler Trenches are dug!
Working on the Sprinkler System
Later that Saturday evening I left Britton to relax and play video games while I went out with a friend from work to the Rio for dinner and some Margs and then we went to the Kress Theatre downtown where they were playing live jazz music.
Oh and another thing we DUG up this weekend was one of the garlic plants! It is gorgeous (for garlic). 🙂
Garlic about 2 minutes fresh from the ground
Hi Cassafrass
Aunt Laura here. We are planning a trip to CO in August and Tommy specifically said that he wanted to see you. We will be driving in from Idaho on Aug 8, picking up Tommy at DIA on Aug 9 and then taking Grandma with us as we tour the Tetons and Yellowstone for the rest of the week. Let me know if you will be free for a moment to visit.
Laura
Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
that I’ve really liked browsing your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Laura!- How great to hear from you! I am so glad you found us on this blog. I haven’t seen you guys in ages. Of course I would love to see you and my birthday-sharing cousin Tommy. Just shoot us an email (bckauffman@ comcast.net) when it gets a little closer and we can plan on going out to dinner or something. We could get the whole gang (Mom, Dad, Grandma, Justin etc) together too if you’d like. Until then, tell Tommy “hi”!
Sara-Thanks for the nice comment, we look forward to hearing more from you in future posts! 😉
