Crochet Me Crazy

The lumberjack showed up bright and early at 6 am this morning to cut down the dangerous tree in my neighbor's yard. They had an audience of happy neighbors watching in the lawn chairs. Ms. Joy, another neighbor, baked them a sheet cookie and they had lemon-aid, water, and sodas while they worked. It took them about 5 hours and we found out the guy has a 2 month waiting list. Stephanie was beside herself with happiness and the guy finally told her to quit thanking him ~ lol! Stephanie came over this evening and told me she couldn't believe she fell asleep on the couch this afternoon after they left and another neighbor came and knocked and woke her up to walk to the bus stop to pick up her boys. She has been so tired because she hasn't been sleeping good worrying about that tree. They had started sleeping on the couch because they were worried another branch might fall off and come through their house again. It was right over their bedroom. Obviously, a huge burden was lifted from them today! Anyway, it was a happy feeling for everyone now knowing that the tree is no longer a problem. Oh, and they also trimmed a bunch of other big heavy branches from other tree that were hanging low over her house. It was truly a blessing. So thank you very much to Grace Presbyterian Church here in Houston!!

Other good news is we got 4 sections of fence completed today. It was hot as blue blazes out there today. We got the rest of the fence torn down to get ready for tomorrow's work. Tomorrow the rest of the holes get dug and posts get set. We also hope to get all the old wood hauled out of the yard tomorrow. Then we'll be set to put the rest of the fence up and completed by the end of the weekend. Hey, I'm getting pretty good at swinging a hammer!
