The Plan II- Revenge of the Landscape

With Phase 1 "Ye Ole Cemente Ponde"complete,... we return to our intrepid homeowners for their next Catastophe... I mean Caper.

BEHOLD!!
This weed-ridden dust-bowl of a backyard will soon be transformed into a pristine Desert Oasis.

BTW, stay calm... those aren't body outlines on the ground.

Let's hope this stage goes a little more smooth than Phase 1.

Stay Tuned for more

Another Birthday Already?

Seems like it was only last year, but here we are again with another notch on the martini swizzle stick.

If I recall, we said we would take it easy this year. And we did.
Only some light digging in the backyard.
A few sprinkles of rain.
Some tile work.
Some more tile work.
Boycotts and Girlcotts.
Couple of hot months.
Window screens.
Attic insulation.

Sometimes, you just need a wee drinky-poo.

Happy Gnu's Ear

Generally, I'm not unhappy to see 2009 in the rear view mirror. It was a year of ups and downs.

The majority of it was occupied by real estate dealings - selling one house and buying another.

It was a year of new starts - the birth of my third niece and the hatching of this blog.

It was a year of promise and promises - not enough of them realized or kept.

2009 began with a sense of cautious optimism and ended with a sense of optimistic caution. Make of that what you will, it sounds cool.

Our hope for 2010 is that of a year filled with delight, pleasant surprises, surmountable challenges, and always love.

Enjoy your 2010, it's the only one you get.

Celebrating our 1,100,100 visits

Much like the temperature in Phoenix, our sitemeter has reached the triple digit mark! (But it's a DRY heat)

The century mark.

The centennial.

"Four", for those of you TRON geeks converting from binary to decimal. You know, Jeff Bridges seemed nice, but what was up Bruce Boxleitner's ass? But I digest...

We want to thank all of our many, many devoted fans, and guilt them like a Jewish grandmother for not commenting more on our posts.

"What, you're too busy to cawl every once in a while?

"I kid, I kid!" ,"Love my bubbies!"

"Come over for Saturday nosh,... have some Lox & Bagels".
