Hit or miss, today. SIL and grandson on the way to tear out and replace our front deck. Bringing material for the new deck with them. Supposed to be here by 7 a.m. I have some tasks to do before they get here.
SIL and daughter built a pond in their back acreage a few years ago. SIL got a deal on a load of composite decking from which they built their dock in the pond. He had some of the composite planks left over. They are planning on selling their home and property and moving to another state. So, they're bringing enough of the left over composite planks to do our deck. Material and labor a no cost??? We'll take that deal any day!!!!

Lucky you 2old. Another big plus is that you will know that the job is done properly. Not so great news though that your daughter and family will be moving interstate. A good reason to visit and explore other places though.

A lamington for you to enjoy with your morning cuppa 2old en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LamingtonI buy a freshly cooked / made ( on site ) pack of 16 large lamingtons at Costco for $12 I honestly could not make then myself for $12 I don’t go into Costco much….so prob only buy once every 5- 6 months . There is a variety of lamingtons some add cream / jam and cream ( after they have been dipped in chocolate icing mix / coconut ) some make a plain cake and tip runny chocolate icing over cake then top with coconut , some make Jelly cakes …cake dipped in partly set red jelly instead of chocolate icing mix , then rolled in coconut . joybelle is a great cook Im sure she’s made lamingtons

It has been so rewarding to get to know you ladies and learn so much about a country that is so foreign to us. But... this spelling thing.........

Visited with Drifter this afternoon. She hopes she's on the way to recovery. Told her I pictured her as this backwoods lady who could kick a grizzly bear's butt and never get a scratch. Something has zapped her strength. Doctors have tested for some obvious things and nothing has been positively diagnosed. She's feeling somewhat better and said to tell all she'll kick this malady and be back before we know it!!!
