Working vacation???
Hi all. Well after the summer of hel*, I am over the pneumonia. Thought I deserved a vacation so off to mom's and sister's in WV I went. Got here Sept. 17, then we went to Myrtle beach to meet up with my other 2 sisters for a GLORIOUS weekend.It ended way too quick! Frown
My sister has been complaining about her garden space out front and on the side of the house being full of weeds and nothing but. So one day while she was at work, guess what I did. Should have taken before shots, but didn't think of it.

Then she started complaining on how she hated the overgrown bushes, so Sunday I told her to get out the chainsaw and let's take care of it!

Thanks girls. I was tired of hearing her complain about it! She didn't know how to do it and she really didn't have the time. I was glad to help her and my mom out.
I am going to do a mock up for her when I get home.
Silly bird....sure can't have too many sisters. Smile
