plank by plank and two more screws...
We have a beautiful new cedar back fence!! Bill & Deb came up, and with neighbor Kelly and Mr. Broken Ankle Matt leading the project, our fence is up after two and a half days... start to finish!! I am have named myself Queen of the Screw Gun after putting up nearly all 90' of cedar planks! Matt had fun with the chainsaw clearing out brush and a dead 40 year old tree. He was a trooper! Big thanks to FIL who slaved away too and MIL who chased the little twin monsters. One more huge home project down...
In addition to the screws in the cedar planks, two more screws were added to our family. Matt had ankle surgery this morning and don't ask me the medical name for his procedure, but they sawed off the fibula, extracted the broken bone and scar tissue, filled the crater with fresh bone, and screwed the fibula back together. What does this mean? Pain and 6 weeks of crutches and cast with no weight bearing. Not sure how title opinions, running after twins, and keeping Boomer from eating more socks factor into this equation, but I guess we'll find out shortly. Thank you so much for the prayers...please keep them coming as we face the next phase of his recovery.
Here are a few recent pics from the St. Joe's Fall Festival...G&A LOVED riding the ponies!
