WOOOHOOOOOO Today (was) officially the last day of the APRIL CHALLENGE.  Not all of the challengers have checked in yet with their stars though.  I  will be posting the official winners tomorrow night. 

—————————————–

Yesterday my boys and I started some work at our house, work that involved some heavy lifting.  Today we worked again, this time trimming the trees and bushes next to our driveway, which sounds like a relatively easy task but was more like taming a jungle.  It took all three of us almost two hours to cut back the tangle of vines and branches, cut everything down into smaller pieces, load all the debris onto the back of the truck, and then cram it all into the dumpster at my work.

The reason we’re doing all this is because on Saturday we’re picking up an RV which we will be parking in our driveway for an unspecified period of time.

My brother bought this used RV several years ago with intentions of “fixing it up.”  It’s been sitting at his friend’s house for quite a while now and finally he decided to offer it to us.  I haven’t seen it so I have no idea what kind of shape it’s in, but my brother said that the engine runs fine, all it needs is “some work” on the interior.

It’ll be a project for us to work on, ha!  As if we don’t have other projects which are yet unfinished.  But heck, the price was right.

Because my evenings have been consumed with yard work, I haven’t been able to go play tennis again and I’m itching to go!  I was telling one of my co-workers about having played tennis with Kevin and she wants to go tomorrow morning.  I’ve already warned her that I’m not actually ready to play a game and she agreed that she wasn’t either, but that it would be fun to knock a ball around anyway.  That’ll be fun!

Oh and by the way — thanks everyone, for all your kind and encouraging comments about the pictures I shared in the last post!  I still don’t see that big of a difference even though I know I can definitely feel the difference!
