Owning a Home is WORK!

Tree limbs hanging above garage.

Jon has taken on a big project.  We didn't realize what a big project our trees would be when we bought our house.  The south side of our home has a beautiful Elm Tree that hasn't been very well maintained.  Some of the branches were hanging over our garage and scratching the roof when the wind blew.  Jon borrowed Wayne's chain saw and with help from Randy, Wayne, and Jon's Dad they successfully cut down the intruding branches.  It turned into a project that we thought would take a couple of hours on a Saturday to a 3-4 day job with lots of enlisted help.  We are so grateful to our supportive family who stepped in to help us out.  I am especially grateful that there were no major injuries as a chainsaw was used, ladders were climbed, and huge branches fell from the sky!

Emotion Bowl

September 30, 2011- Jon and I went to the Emotion Bowl this year.  Neither of us had been since our Senior year 12 years ago.  Since we live so close and hear all of the games we decided that we would either be part of the game by hearing it from our house or actually being there to enjoy it.  We didn't think to go early because we were within walking distance.  By the time we got there the only seat available was in the student section.  This meant a night of standing to watch the game.  It was well worth it.  It was fun to see all of the excitement and cheer for the obviously superior Skyline Team.  They didn't let us down.  We won 50 to 34.  The goal posts are a beautiful blue!
