Today we started our landscaping project.  Not really sure what we were thinking since it’s 95 out.  However Thursday night we said we were going to do it so here we are.  For starters I had soccer practice this morning so I was already in the hot sun for at least 2 hours, more like 2.5 hours.  But when I got home, Leslie had already started cleaning up the old dirt and pulling a few weeds that were still alive.

When I got home we decided to get about 1 more hour in on the flower bed before the heat really hit.  So we started working on the border stone first.  We figured that was what we needed to do.  I’m going to show a couple before pictures and a couple current pictures.  We stopped after we got the stone border done, cause it was really way to hot out.  Plus we wanted to go to the movies in the heat of the day and pick back up later tonight after the heat goes down.

Here is what we have so far:

My in-laws, despite the hospital visit there were having (FIL’s Back Surgery) they still sent my mom flowers for her surgery.

The flowers they sent were really pretty, so I thought I would give a plug for the Florist.

Update:
She is doing fairly well. She had a leak test to make sure nothing is leaking from her surgery and all is good, so she is awaiting an ‘OK’ from the doc to have an ice cube.

Still no word on release, but it’s looking like Sunday night or Monday morning for sure.

2:53pm pdt update:
So now she can up to 60mL of water per hour (which is 2 to 3 swallows to most everyone)
She is finally getting some sleep off and on.
And if tomorrow goes well with 3 meals, than she will be discharged after dinner tomorrow night.
