Fence project

 Emmie's best friend. He even lets her bounce him on the tramp.  I've never met such a tolerant cat.

Barry is fixing our fence. It is a huge project and it's going to take awhile! We all have to help. Emmie can carry fence slats and tools over to Daddy.  James and Ellie use the drill and take off the old fence slats, so we can reuse them. Lauren is pretty good at weaseling her way out of helping at all. :P. I sit on my rusted folding chair out in the garden and direct operations. As I eat countless Otter Pops. On rare instances, I am called on to hold up a board while Barry levels it, or nails it into place  ....then I return to my chair.  Some of the posts are rotted and broken. Some are set in concrete. Barry is resetting all the posts and replacing some of them, and putting in all new supports. I am very excited for it to look oh so much better! He is doing a great job!

I told the kids I would buy them doughnuts if they were good while I was voting. They were good, and I was hungry, We got a few more than we needed, but they disappeared all the same. :)
