First Draft Backyard Layout

Well, it's only been 12 years in the making, but rumor has it we are FINALLY redoing our back yard. Lots of flagstone and outdoor patio area, no more concrete, a big gazebo type wooden structure for a table area to provide some shade for our 10-months-a-year of sunshine. A gas fire pit for Adrian, some grass for PJ, a veggie garden spot for Jessica. Hoping they can start demo IMMEDIATELY. We made a few changes to the layout, but this is very close. Now I've got to find a really cool tile outdoor table, and a unique old-school door for the back garage.

Who's That Girl??

PJ is really living the life of Riley. Helping Jess play on the computer. Partying at the new dog park. Having a snooze on the couch. It's a good life.

We Love Disneyland Off-Season!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirates Life for Me!! Take note of the times on the wait signs. Five Minutes Baby! We loved Disneyland last week. Cool temps, shorter than short lines, no crowds. We had a Churro, only because we know Donna loves them so much. Let's see: 6 Space Mountains, 5 Thunder Mountain Railroads, 2 Pirates, 1 Peter Pan, 1 Indiana Jones, 1 Star Tours, 1 Buzz Blasters. Check out Jess in the EMPTY hallway waiting for Space Mountain . . . it was FAB. Also loved the hand-washing instructions - sponsored by Sparkle Cleaner. Old Walt must be rolling in his grave.
