I think that it has literally been about 8 years since I have laid a finger on a lawn mower. That is something that Ray has always done, without complaint. I am beginning to have a whole new respect for my husband's duties. Ray has been gone for about a week and the lawn was looking really bad, so I decided that I needed to mow it. So yesterday I put Maggie down for a nap and went to work. Starting it was comical, I'm sure if the neighbors saw me they were laughing. But I finally got it started. It is self-propelled and maneuvering it was interesting, to say the least, especially in corners around the fence!! And, oh my goodness, the back yard goes on forever!!! Our lot is 1/3 of an acre, and let me tell you that is big when you are mowing the lawn!! Anyway, and hour and a half later, I was done, sweaty and tired-just in time for Maggie to wake up! I didn't even attempt the weed eater, I know my limits! WE MISS YOU DAD!! (I had to include the bottom picture of Grace, her face is so hilarious when she is concentrating on running fast ;)

Is that all your back yard? It's massive. You must have walked 10 miles to mow the whole thing. When the people come to mow our yard they have those mowers you stand on. It literally takes them 5 minutes to do the whole thing. Don't worry, by the time you leave you'll have it down to an hour.
Oh my gosh Becky, that is a HUGE yard! IMPRESSIVE!!!
