Got home from a trip to Sanger last night and we were desperate to see the gang as it's been a while since we have seen them. Luckily for us, Regul, Danielle, Toby and Montez were available and came over to the house. We grabbed sushi at this place near our house and caught up. It was so good to see everyone and hear what is going on in their life. The stars must have been aligned that night cuz my hubby, 90 lb Girl, announced he would not eat chicken terriyaki, that he would try sushi! He has had a bite of sushi before but not for his entire dinner! I was so very proud of him. I am sure he won't be eating it all of the time but he is now open to it so that is a good thing. After dinner we all came back to the house and drank some beers and played CLUE. I hadn't played that game in years. I had gotten the game for a white elephant party and was bummed I couldn't play it cuz, you needed a minimum of 3 people to play. Not having a third on hand too often I knew this was my opportunity to bring the game out. No one had played it for a long time and Regul didn't remember the rules! We were only going to play one game cuz, Regul had to get to something else but we ended up playing for a few hours and 3 games later we were all introduced to the rules once again. Today, we were outside from 9am-4pm taking our first stab at landscaping. Brian pulled out these old yucky trees and then we went to Home Depo to get some plants, planters and other gardening stuff. Spent all afternoon repotting plants that we had gotten in Sanger and also new plants. It was nice to get some air for a change and nice to get some much needed exercise. We even found the mystery street where the barking dogs live! Hurray!
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
