The Sibthorp stimulus plan...



Check out what's been goin' on at our house. This week the contractor started work on our new front porch by tearing up our yard and taking out the old porch. It took only a couple of hours and the floor of our porch was gone and an 8 x 18 foot hole was opened up in our front yard.

I managed to salvage a few plants, but not a lot. You'll see them in the makeshift nursery I created in the back yard. I was really glad I had not gotten to that pile of yard waste yet. And I only had about an hours notice to save anything. I guess that's the way it works when the weather is uncooperative and contractors can only work when the weather is good.

Check out my photo album here.

Also, here's an interesting item I saw in yesterday's paper that hit home. It turns out that the car you see Laurel in is America's best selling car. Who knew? Maybe that's why she loves it and insists on sitting in it during all waking hours? And why she wanted to take all her meals in it today? It does come with 2 cup holders. She loves her new car. See photos of her here. And by the way - some assembly required.
