The sun is shining and it looks like it is going to be another awesome day.  Lots of yard work to do today before the kids headed to Yorkton on Monday.
Jace was on the lawnmower bright and early and Kim and I decided that the fire pit itself was WAY too big so decided to make it smaller and more user friendly.
John got his fire gloves on and started moving the fire bricks around.  Kimmy helped him and before too long they had the fire pit down to a reasonable size.  They then decided that the remaining "burn" area from the previous huge fire pit had to be dealt with so filled in the area with gravel.  By the time they were finished, the spot looked awesome.
Kimmy got the weed whacker out and John trimmed the grass around the new fire pit and by the time they were done, it truly did look great.
Jace was done with the back grass by the time the fireplace was done so decided that some grass seed needed to be sown in the new dirt that Bernie had dumped over by the shop.  Apparently, there was some seed left in one of Bernie's old trucks we could use.  John and Kim went to find it along with another half bag in the house.  I sowed it and John took the golf cart and packed it down.   I told Kim that the "truck" seed was mostly husks - I think the mice got to it - so she would have to probably throw some more onto the area.
Once that was done, I took the weed whacker and started trimming around the house.  Unfortunately, the wire ran out and I had to quit.
Jace and Kim washed the semi and John and I watched from the lawn chairs!!
The yard was looking pretty damn good and Gloria will be thrilled that all the grass is cut.  She was planning on doing it when she returned from Yorkton.  Now, she can rest and enjoy the scenery and the smell of fresh cut grass!!
John BBQ'd the ribs and Kimmy made rice.  Thank heavens we didn't have to eat french fries!!
Supper was delicious and Jace was happy he got to eat ribs since he had missed them earlier in the week.
After supper we got into a heated game of Kaiser, Now last time we played the kids, they won (which is a rare thing for them!) so they were quite pleased with themselves! They came into the game quite confident. Needless to say the old folks were on their game and skunked them the first game and beat them the second game! We wagged our tails all the way to the trailer!!
Time for bed......Life is Good
