Will the casket fit?

Thursday night, Chris came home from school just after 8 and decided to start digging for the retaining wall. Why? The man isn’t capable of sitting still.

Sure it was dark.

Sure he was working by a single flashlight beam.

Sure he was using a pick axe and a shovel.

After a couple hours, the neighbors began to cluster on their front lawns and stare.

I walked out to Chris and whispered, ‘Hon, I think the neighbors are assuming you are burying a body out here.’

Very seriously he leaned on the shovel, looked at me, and said, ‘Babe, when I bury a body, I’m burying it in the backyard.’

When? When he buries a body?





We dug most of the weekend (Chris doing most of the work) and our yard now looks like….























Sunday we enjoyed the company of Cousin Lisa, Jeff, and Josh. I didn’t have my camera so you’ll have to forgive my lack of pictures.

We don’t see enough of them!!
