We have internet, like real people!!!!

Finally after 7 weeks of waiting we have real live high speed internet!  And of course on that note our laptop is dying so we had to order a new one yesterday.  On the inside we have finished hanging all the window treatments and put in some bookcases next to the fireplace.  As usual lately all the work has been on the outside.  We got the garage doors in and the drive and parking area blacktopped, what a huge difference.  I can actually get up the driveway now, and one big step in taming the mud monster!

On the "garden" side of the house, the A/C unit was slowly sliding down the hill so we had it drug back up where it belongs and started building a brick wall surround to hold the dirt in place.  Bought some shrubs and trees to line the wall over there and try to stop the erosion, spent Saturday planting half of them.  Sunday we got to play with our new toy, a brush hog mower.  Boy is that sucker a workout, my arms are killing me today and Bob got shredded by bramble thorns.  It sure looks better along the road and the neighbors stopped giving us the "so when are you going to mow your weeds" look.  This weekends escapades will be planting the rest of the bushes and trees, sod for the backyard and next week our little barn shed is being delivered, woo hoo!  We have our first Tampa friend coming to visit this weekend so I will have no more excuses not to clean the inside and take some pictures :-)   More notes coming soon!
