Just want to drop by to let you know that I have been trying to work on my notifications. I’m going to have to rest my eyes for a couple of hours, then return. Our son and his girlfriend invited us for cocktails and dinner last night. We had such a fun time and got to play with the two girls, Eevee and Sia, also known and Mrs. B and Mrs. Pi. Don’t ask, and Happy PI day! Today is the day our outdoor patio is being put in. So many dump trucks, cars, trucks, tractors, workers, and noise! We hope it’s completed by Saturday. They have a beautiful week of weather ahead. Enjoy your day. I will see you later.

I love the kitty pics...Sweet little angels! Have fun with the new patio once it gets installed that is.

@DianneN What's wrong with your old furniture?

@snowy22315 Just keeping the table and chairs on the deck. For the patio, I want that livingroom look, a round table with umbrella, and of course the firepit he's building with some chairs and lounge chairs. I've been looking around.......

They are such fat kitties and sweet when they want to be. Thank you! I can’t wait to buy furniture and use it.

I wondered how you've been doing. I was worried about you. I hope you can put up with all the noise.

Thanks so much. My eye is still a train wreck. Not a good day today, but I rested with cold compresses all afternoon despite the noise outside.

@DianneN lots of stuff going on there but it will be awesome when it's done. A new stone wall, steps and a raised garden does sound beautiful. Will you put flowers or veggie in the garden? or both maybe?

Thanks! Those kitties can bite and scratch if you pet them too much. I’ve lucked out so far. We decided to have a new stone wall and new steps pt in elsewhere in the yard just today. They are building a raised bed garden for me, too. I see a lot more noise in my future.

Thanks, Ruby. Nice to get out of the house. I’m sure the patio will be finished by Saturday, but we decided today to have a stone wall with steps put in elsewhere in the yard. He’s also doing a raised bed garden after the patio. Never ends here!

Well how did you guess that was the first thing I would want to ask . Please post photos of the patios when it’s done I can only imagine how amazing it will look. My sister in law just had one put in that is the nicest I’ve seen so far. Our whole back yard was one at one time but my grandpa had dirt laid over it at some point when I was little. I remember the stone wall and swinging our over the bank on a wooden gate.

I wish I could see your sister's patio. The land isn't flat where they are putting it in, so it's been a lot of work. I should have them put in a wooden gate to swing over it, too

You'll love an outdoor patio. The week of noise will be forgotten when you're enjoying time outside in comfort. I hope it's finished on time

Well…we are also having a raised bed garden constructed right after the patio, and decided to have a separate wall and steps put in elsewhere in the yard just today. I don’t think the noise will ever stop

Those kitties are beautiful, the one in front looks more "bossy". Stay away from the dust.

@DianneN They are both sweetie pies. The one in the back looks so "innocent". Same as Bubi, small cute little thing, but he is the bossy one. I am glad your eyes are better. We had wind that brought Sahara desert sand, my eyes did not appreciate.

Aren't they sweetie pies? Actually, the one in the back is the bossy one My eyes are much better now, but that dust was impossible to stay away from. Hubs and I were outside with them half the time.

@LadyDuck That Bubi! Thanks so much. I have my last eye appointment on Tuesday. I’m sure that sand was very unpleasant to your eyes and everything else. We are getting another dump truck load of sand again right now for the patio. I’m going to leave the house while they spread it. Bad for the eyes and nasty to breathe in.
