We Can't Win


The couple next door are constantly sending over food or candy. D and Patrick were *trying* to help them out by getting their driveway shoveled, and look what they came home carrying!

  1. She already had the cookies made by the time Patrick and I were shoveling.

    Remember we had given them some sugar just a couple days before!

    Actually she said she was going to clean the driveway and said her husband was upset with that. I just looked at her and said ... I would be upset at here too! But she did not want to disturb anyone.

    You can't win with great people like that!

  2. Yeah, poor Mr. S has been having a hard time after some surgery, so Patrick and D were helping.

    But ... I want to be "ahead" on the exchange game for once doncha know!! You couldn't even have the driveway done and be "ahead" for an hour!!

    The point was supposed to be that we wanted to one-up the neighbours for a little bit and it never works doggone it.

    You can't beat a retired couple when dh works and ya have six kids. You just can't. We keep trying though.

  5. I think it so neat that you have neighbors like that. We only have 2 neighbors that care about who lives next door to them.
    We are finally making progress with the ones across the street. But I think that we scare him with the homeschooling, and lots of kids, and loving Jesus.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
