Welcome to my blog about yard sales, crochet, my family and my life. A yard sale map in one hand and a crochet hook in the other.

Prom, pool, plants

I thought I was through with proms as far as having to either buy a dress or rent a tux, but I found myself doing just that a couple of weeks ago. Sloan is only a sophomore, but his girlfriend is a junior. Isn't he handsome? After taking this picture, we fixed his fallen boutonniere and put his tie under his vest. This tie was an "America's Funniest Video" moment because we had to google a video on how to tie it!  


 My daughter-in-law, Holly, turned 30 and her family gave her a surprise party.
Justin has been working on the yard and the pool. The pool was installed in 1998 and needs a new resurfacing.












 I don't know the real name of this tree but mama always called it 'Grandpa's Beard'. I've heard some call it a "Fringe tree". This is in mama's yard.
 Tried to take a selfie with it!
 Justin taking a well deserved rest.
 Mama's Rhododendron is beautiful!
 Justin made a sandbox for the grandbabies....



The deck is almost complete....
I've been crocheting another 'Element' afghan but ran out of a color. It's the stonewashed yarn from Hobby Lobby and I haven't made a trip yet.
In the meantime, I've been making some "interlocking" blocks. If you don't pay attention, you can mess up!



Last but not least, I leave you with this adorable picture of Amelia eating dirt!

Have a great week!

Another day at the office!

Justin's job is installing fiberglass pools. With his crew, he lays out the template, digs the hole, installs pool, manages plumbing, electric work, concrete decking, grading and whatever else is needed. He is constantly on the phone with suppliers, sub-contractors, and clients. He has repaired other company's work also. This week they removed a pool that a client no longer wanted. The only place to store it until it was sold was our backyard! These are pictures I took of the process.



















Wasn't that amazing? I have watched them load a pool over a house before! Magicians!
