My son has been urging me to post more pictures of the construction going on in front of our house. The back ho is right in front of our house today. I am hoping I will be able to leave my driveway to get my roots colored. Now, that is a scary thought.

Hubby and I went to a nice restaurant on behalf of our investment guru. Ron had urged us for the past few years to come and listen to one of the big wigs of Lincoln Life speak to everyone about term life insurance. He basically reassured everyone that the world was not coming to an end and to leave our investments where they are while adding some new avenues of investing. I enjoyed the dinner and the rest was glazed over in my mind. My husband finds that stuff interesting and I trust him to make the right decisions.

I have been working on a fall pillow project and finally completed it yesterday afternoon. Let me tell everyone right now, I do not like making ruffles! I’ll show a picture of the pillow on my other blog, if you want to see it.

For the past 4 or 5 years, our mayor has been telling us that the road in front of our home will be repaired. I should say, he is saying it will be taken out down to the bare bones and replaced. This is a good thing. The run off during the winter forms icy patches and we end up with a few cars per season in our ditch. We have had to replace our mailbox a few times. The downside to this construction project is that it will be hard for people to get to our business. I wish we were wealthy and could take an extended vacation. Since we are not, we plan to suck it up, put on our rain boots a wade out the storm.

Here is a picture of the road that will be reconstructed.
Looking from our drive:

The new thingy for the phone line. They destroyed my clematis. I would have moved the plant had I known they would be working there. :-/

The hole they dug. They hit our sewer line and duct taped a trash bag around it for the weekend. Sigh.
