Here is my mom walking out onto her new patio!
Just Kidding! I do have a funny story to share about the picture below. My mom and I were walking around a new neighborhood out at the lake with homes with basements. She just wanted to get some ideas. We found a few unlocked doors and took a peak inside. In one house, we walked outside on the deck and when we tried to go back in, the door was locked. There were no stairs to get down off the porch.
They only way down was to crawl over the rail and jump from the cross beam. I must say that the picture doesn't do the jump justice. It was pretty frightening. What was really funny is my own mother pressuring me to do this. She actually said, "I'm going to tell everyone what a coward you are", if I didn't do it. So now that my mom can't tell everyone what a coward I was going to be I am going to trumpet my own heroics. "I'm 26 years old, I can be brave, I can be bold." Maybe one day I'll be able to post pictures of the actual house going up. Mom and Dad are still in the house plan phase. Yes, this is the phase they have been in for four years. I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! Looking forward to some good food and front yard football with the cousins.
