Goodbye Bushes!

A couple weeks ago, Chad's grandpa "Papa" Cruickshank loaded up the backhoe on the truck and brought it over to Nyssa. You see, we had five large bushes taking over the front of our home and I have always hated them. They are big and ugly, they attract wasps and birds, and they are pokey! I had been (bugging) reminding Chad that I wanted these out before spring so we could do some landscaping.

One night when Chad was talking with Papa, he mentioned the project, and according to Papa, he could come over and pull them out "slicker than snot". Let me tell you, it was pretty slick! It was probably a two-hour project, including the thirty minutes Papa and I spent sitting in the house eating cookies, drinking lemonade, and watching March Madness - and - two trips to the dump.For those of you who may not know what a backhoe looks like - or how terrible the bushes were.One down!
There is a house behind there (and a Roscoe-dog if you look close)! Thanks Chad & Papa :)
