Delivered and Installed

Our status as the only house on the street with no driveway is over at last. On Friday, they came and put in the new walk and 1/3 of the driveway. Can you believe it? That big concrete truck was able to fit right in the side of the house. Well, I guess a camper could too, if we decided to go that way.



Then on Saturday they came back and got the rest of it in. Well, almost. On Friday the concrete truck broke up some sections of the sidewalk, so it was agreed that they would be replaced. The pile in the street is what had been sidewalk. Well, they were just one 4' section short of concrete, but they promised they will come haul away the pile on Monday and put in the rest of the concrete on Tuesday. Then, we will wait a week while everything gets stronger and by next Saturday, we will have a car and a truck in our garage! Imagine that.

Friday night Christine and I had policing duty at the Handcart Days Fair. Well that is what I called it, but when we arrived to check in they gave us a puzzled look. After a minute they said, Oh, you're here fo the garbage patrol and issued use gloves and garbage bags. Policing sounded better to me, but it was sort of fun to walk the park among a nice family crowd and from time to time, empty a waste can. They even gave us free tickets, so we got a cold drink and I had a scone that was tasty.

On Saturday, Christine and Leana went back with Aleksandr to enjoy the festivities and use up the tickets we had left over. Here is how Leana used some of them. I told her she needed to keep it on for Church so the bishop whould know how useful she would be working in the nursery. She didn't seem to think that was such a good idea.
