We decided we needed a new weed whacker to take out the overgrowth that used to be our garden so we went to Lowes and got a nice Troybilt. It was last years model on sale and we also got 20% more off for taking the display because it was the last one left. Kathy used a gift card she got for Mother's day so it was really father's day for me! I guess her payoff was getting the weeds knocked down. I think I got the better of the deal. It's one of those manly tools kinda like a Sawsall - arrgh, arrgh!!! Too bad I didn't get a "before" picture. You don't really get a good idea of the job that thing did from the "after" pic. We also checked out Di and Sam's new railing. It's beautiful. Sam doesgreat work. We then went to Matt's second ballgame today. If we'd know he was pitching the 1st game we'd have been to that one instead. People gotta let us know! I also threw in a picture of our new bedroom ceiling fan. That was a real Mother's day gift. It fought me all the way. Who knew a ceiling fan could be a pain to install. Anyway, we're loving it. We're heading for a 90 degree day Monday so we'll really appreciate it. Don't have the swamp cooler hooked up just yet.
