New sidewalk

Bobby & I dug, framed up and poured our new sidewalk leading up to our gazebo. I must say that without Jack & Molly's help I don't think we could have done it. I took my camera out to get pic's, but the only thing I got with my camera was cement dust!!!!! Sorry guy's, you were so cute helping. As most of you know we bought a cement mixer - and it is really cool!!!! Jack kept our bucket full of water without getting the water on the sidewalk, Molly kept the empty bags of cement put in the trash, and both Jack & Molly filled bucket w/cement mix for me to put in the mixer. Chuck showed Jack (hands on) how to use the finishing tools. And...Molly was taking it all in and when I was doing the edge of the sidewalk - she said, "Nannie you are not holding that tool right - Chuck said to hold it like (she showed me)" Man, that kid has great ears!!!! Anyway, thanks kids for all the HARD work!

Starkey also used to keep the soft spot on the top of mine and Dale's head even softer. Stupid pocket knife!
