WE HAVE A CURB!

After a couple of weeks of not much going on, some workmen came buy and poured a curb and gutter for our house and our next door neighbor's house. It's been drying for 2 days and we're told that we can't drive on it for a week. We're parking our cars across the street in the business park parking lot.

As Karen leaves for work each morning, she gets to model her daily wardrobe for the workmen who gather in front of our house. Please understand, they don't gather to work. They gather to, well, to wait until it's time to go to work, down on the corner where they're putting in a round-about. I think they like watching Karen, because once she leaves, they go to the round-about and start working.

I've been told that we'll get a sidewalk poured in a week or so and Columbia Lane will get new blacktop at some point, as well.

Meanwhile, life goes on in the Martin houshold, with kids and grandkids coming and going and Karen and me doing our work things and all of us hopping over the curb to get to our cars across the street in the parking lot.
