05/29/2006: "just hello"

Sorry to hear about Mabel. I hope she is doing much better. Dad and I have had a very productive weekend. He had ordered 20 yards of mulch and then moved most of it around all by himself. The yard is looking awesome. He also borrowed one of those yard machines that is like a little bulldozer and was having a blast playing with it. Besides being fun to manipulate, it greatly reduced the number of wheelbarrow loads moved by hand & back.
I am off to a conference on Tuesday in OC. It looks like we might have a couple of days of decent weather this year. Usually it rains and is very windy during this week. I am hoping for good weather for next weekend because we have a picnic scheduled in our yard with friends from the office. In-door picnics just aren't as much fun.
