~*Our Family Is Truly Amazing*~

Hello Dear Friends! Our family is truly amazing! So much so, that it brings tears to my eyes. We needed a new roof & our family came to the rescue ~ BIG TIME!



Work began this past Saturday ~ off with the old.



Thank you! Thank you to Jo, Russell, Robin, Jimmy, Craig, Kristy, Jamie, and Dave! You all worked so very hard & I'm sure are suffering from sore muscles and back pains for doing so!



Jimmy brought his tractor over to help carry off the old shingles & lift the new up to the top. It made things much easier. I did feel bad for insisting on keeping the tractor away from the flowerbed in the front of the house... my nagging added to the stress. All the flowers have survived though.

Day Two ~ Sunday... I did brave the top of the roof... I'm not too fond of heights & was comfortable just doing clean up work on the ground... but duty called. In this photo, Tony was doing his 'Captain Morgan' pose ~



Work went until the sun went down both Saturday and Sunday...



At the end of both days, we all enjoyed sitting, resting, some good eats, and lots of belly laughs around the make~do fire pit in the backyard...



Tony and I continued to work yesterday ~ putting the last of the shingles down. We only have the ridge cap left to do. This will be finished by the end of the week. I'll snap an 'all done' picture then.

Sitting on the sofa doing some stitching sounds like a good thing to do to rest some sore muscles... that is the plan for the next few days.

Wishing you all warm smiles...
