Gosh, Larry - I'm sorry to hear that! Here's to her next adventure.

Lisa · 28 April 2009, 03:54 AM

Larry, I'm sorry about your mother.

away36 · 28 April 2009, 05:39 AM

The best guardian angels we have are the ones that are mothers. I'm sending you a hug.

Tools · 28 April 2009, 07:51 AM

Thank you all for the kind words........

I like hugs too...................

Lion · 28 April 2009, 08:04 AM

Larry, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My Mom passed a year and a half ago and it was unexpected. She was 83 so she did have a long life and we do survive. My best wishes to you and your family and please remember her with fondness!!!

unclesallie · 28 April 2009, 07:59 PM

Larry: my condolences to you and your family.
best,
dan

ob1 · 28 April 2009, 08:42 PM

My deepest condolences too, Larry. My mother passed away just over a year ago and I still think of her with great fondness everyday (usually when I need some cookery advice).
Best wishes
Mark

Larry, I'm really sorry to hear about your mother. You and your family are in my thoughts and heart

Time for a new roof on the cabin and also, will remove a bunch of trees that are way too close. We will go with a metal roof this time and I want red and the wife wants green. What colour do you guys think would look best?

Carolina · 30 April 2009, 12:03 AM

Very dark green.

I think either would look nice - my first impulse was a dark green, but a dark, almost rust colored red would look nice, too.

I guess it depends whether you want contrast, or to blend in. Spring and sumer the green would blend in. In the fall the rust would blend.

I sound as decisive as this guy. Well, maybe not quite. On second thought, maybe so... or maybe that should be "INdecisive?" What do you guys think? Not that it matters... or does it?

Don't forget, this one and others could be all yours one day.

Lisa · 30 April 2009, 12:58 AM

That is a lovely place, Joe.

How about shingles made out of license plates?

Hmmm... photobucket didn't turn anything up. What gives?

But I have a feeling this one's not along the interstate...

I saw that Wrong Turn movie, creepy

Lisa · 30 April 2009, 01:22 AM

Two inches of rain predicted today. Thunder and downpour since 6 a.m. and still coming down in torrents. I have much anxiety today as the crew has been installing a sprinkler system in the front yard - it looks horrible... All the trenches are full of mud and the new landscaping is half dug up... uprooted and lying forlornly in the mud!

There will be no surviving grass to water after all this!

Maybe I should have waited on the landscaping until after the sprinklers were installed.... ya think?

(honestly, I didn't think Dave would go for a sprinkler system... trying to prioritize and this was an..... an.... EPIC FAIL. To coin a phrase.)

Lest Joe misunderstand, though - that cabin is absolutely beautiful.

I would love to have a place like that! I would say it's more then a cabin, I would call it a very nice house

Lisa · 30 April 2009, 02:29 AM

So here's what the front yard looks like at the moment...

How long will it take to recover from this?
