Dave said he hadn't mowed grass since 1993! And we're still an hour away from a lot of our friends but only a half-hour from most of our doctors. Their are a couple other long-term parks but one floods every summer and another charges our friends/family $4 each to come visit us! We could stay in more convenient places if we were willing to make reservations a year in advance and stay only 2 weeks at each of them. That's not going to happen. So we all make the best we can with what we get to be where we want to be. Now that you have power again yours doesn't sound too bad. :)Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-43340319423155572292011-08-13T15:15:39.270-05:002011-08-13T15:15:39.270-05:00Great photos...

Heavy rains may well ruin what has been done so far.<br /><br />We also struggle a bit in deciding what to do when in a marginal place that is in a ideal place for us.
