Friday ----was Full

Friday was a full day for Brad and I.  We were both glad to fall into bed.

Brad borrowed the towns big trailer and we headed to Bothwell to get sod.  Two pallets does not sound like much but it was plenty of work for us oldies.  With the help of Paul, Teresa and Brad the sand pile was moved to the Wood's driveway and the area was prepared for grass.

We arrived home from Bothwell about 10:30 with the sod.  Skylar came to help us.  Our lawn from the road to the work area was quite dry so Brad brought over Awesome (the tractor) and we were able to fill the bucket with sod.  This saved a great deal of labor and time over moving it all with the wheelbarrow.  I was able to rake and prepare the areas ahead of them.  It was very hard work but thankfully the day was a bit cooler.  We finished about 3:15.  Tired but pleased.  It has been hard to sprinkle it because the wind was blowing and is still blowing.

I picked MacKenzie up at four so that we could take her to Farmington to spend the weekend with Natalie and the children.  Brad had to help with a town water problem before we could leave.  We had just made us a sandwich to eat after laying the sod when his phone rang and it was Steve saying that Rupps had broken a service line.  Would he please come and help locate the valves to control the water system. 

The freeway was crazy so we took the long way home.  Our old familiar drive when we would leave visit the Isaacsons in Syracuse.  We drove by their old home in Syracuse.  Just doesn't look the same.

We arrived home about nine.  After showers and a snack to bed with us and to rest up for Saturday at the temple.
