The previous owners had 15....yes...15 gardens in our yard. I don't think they had a life! We just had 5 removed this year (WAHOO) and now we are waiting for the grass to grow. But of course, nothing. I am amazed we have kept our kid growing for 7 years ;-) Great goblin story too! Yes, we are garden-challenged too. The previous owners had 15….yes…15 gardens in our yard.

I turned on the grill to let it heat up & burn off the grates. Well, it turned out that I let it heat up a *little* too long. I came back to find the thermometer needle off the scope and smoke coming from under the cover. When I opened the grill (using long oven mits and tongs), the bottom of the grill was all in flames & the coating inside the cover was bubbling. So, a new grill has gone from the "want" category to the "need" category! I had my own Grill Incident last night. I turned on the grill to let it heat up & burn off the grates.

Holy Crap, my Pool Boy is 50 Bucks a week and thats cheap! SHEESH.........he is very cute, except he calls me the WRONG name everytime I see him! As far as gardening w/ your husband goes, I find it's much better for all concerned if I am the one who goes to the gardern center or hardware store or the Deli as opposed to being the 'helper', my Husband is a turf guy and a perfectionist.............nuff said! The Kids will crack as soon as you and Otto go swimming!!! Good Luck! JENNILYNN…………..40 BUCKS A MONTH FOR A POOL BOY?!?!?!
