Family is so great. I am so glad to be close to our family. Wish we could live closer to the rest of them. Hope everyone had a great summer and are ready for school to start. --or you may be the one to get your school started sigh... :) Until next time...tata Trisha

Mini-vacation

Greg with Emily and Travis at Lake Michigan
Emily and Austin
4 little cousins

Nathan, Lindsay, Travis, Austin and Emily Greg, Ellen, Jeff and I all went to stay in a little Amish town and view the sights and scents:0. It was very fun, interesting, enlightening and educational.:) We stayed overnight in an old fashioned Dawdi(grandparent) house remodeled with awsome oak furniture. It was beautiful. it was so wierd to walk up and down the streets and see lots of cars, but just as many horses and buggies. I really enjoyed it, though I can't say I would want to do that myself. I personally like things like cars, running water, and deodorant:) We had a blast to say the least. Hope you enjoy our little tour. Trisha

Patio Pictures!!

Here they are working on the patio near the end. What a Job!!!
Here we are spreading sand. As you know, sand is really rock crumbled up and so it is very helpful to use when you don't want rocks to move. It's like packing it with very small rocks. It shall not be moved.:)
Here is the stage we are at now.
Almost completed patio.
Here are the promised pictures of our patio. IT is coming along nicely. We are not quite done but we are sooo happy with its progress.

Hi Everyone!

Just thought I'd let you know that we got most of the patio put in this last weekend. it is looking great! It was dark when we got done, so I don't have good pictures, but I'll try to get some tomorrow. It is wonder ful to finally have that done!!! We are so excited! Will try to post pictures tomorrow. Tonight it's off to bed. Trisha
