Easter Weekend Update
Ok, so we didn't do a damn thing in the basement all weekend, but that's ok. Aside from a little rain early on Easter Sunday, it was absolutely gorgeous weather here the whole long weekend! We went for walks every day and Mom made her first trip to the lawn and garden store on Saturday. It's still a little too early to put in any new plants, but she did score some cool concrete edging blocks to replace the old plastic edging along the back side of the house that was falling apart. Here I am inspecting the finished project ......
Of course we still have lots of other landscaping projects lined up, but we have to wait until next weekend to start on that. Our neighbor Steve is getting a bunch of dirt dropped off because he's reseeding his whole back yard, and he's getting an extra pile for us. We have lots of dead spots to fill in (Funny, all the people who own dogs also have dead spots in their yards. Wonder why that is?!?!?) and we need more dirt around the front of the house because we're putting in some new bushes and flowers.
In other news, the Easter Bunny brought me a new ball! The company that sells these balls used to advertise them in their catalog as the "Indestructible Ball", but that was before our old dog Guenther completely destroyed one in less than one hour. After Mom sent it back they quickly replaced it, and now they advertise it as "virtually" indestructible, ha! Still, it only takes me a few minutes of chewing on it to rough it up enough to where I can pick it up and carry it around.
Just try to get it away from me now!
We'll have more pics of the basement project this weekend, because the boys are down there right now planning their attack. Actually they are mostly drinking and goofing around, but Doug's friend Kevin is here too and he's the one who taught Doug how to do drywall so I'm sure he's giving them lots of tips on how to finish it off perfectly. It's going to be awesome when it's done, but being a do-it-yourself thing we know it's not going to happen overnight!

Fun, fun.
I am waiting on an insurance adjuster to come and fix with the hail unfixed.
