First, before we get to the subject of the blog, I have GOT to share with you my experience! Saturday, Tim Let me help with the mowing. Now, before I go on, one needs to know the history of me and mowing. It was 13ish years ago, and I decided to "help out", so I started mowing the yard! Loved IT - became obsessed with it really. I would mow about every 4-5 days- the minute I would see a blade of grass get too long! WELL, I blew up the engine - I had NO IDEA that you were suppose to check the OIL! Oh my - who knew! I have not been allowed on the mower since:) So back to the present. Tim has so much yard work to do now that Parker and Luke aren't here to help, so he has intrusted me as his "helper". We have a zero turn bush hog (no steering wheel). How hard can it be! Just push forward to go, pull back for reverse, widen to stop, etc. So, I get on, get my quick lesson, and I'm off to the races!! Well, my arms must not move with the same strength or never had to work so closely in tune with each other- because one millimeter off and you DO NOT go straight - so I start laughing and trying correct my driving- the more I corrected the worse I got, so I am riding along going slightly left then slightly right and back again - laughing hysterically all the way!! I am crying I am laughing so hard! All I can think of is how dang picky Tim is about straight lines and here I am in the front yard going every way but straight. I get 3/4 of the way around (the first lap) and have to stop to wipe the tears and to catch my breath - I couldn't even breathe I was laughing so hard, I also couldn't wipe this silly stupid grin off my face. (what passerby-ers must have thought - probably that I was in terrible pain). I got a handle on the situation until....I started the second lap and saw how totally crooked the line was at first -OH the hysterical laughing and tears started back up - seriously it was the most awkward thing I have ever tried to do!! You can't even scratch your nose on this thing with out it going a crazy way. I did finally get better, drove it straight and finished the job. I will be on it again next week, but still not ready to go around trees or such, Tim will still have to "cut in". It was just TOO funny not to share!!
On with the dog..... I am going to attempt to put up another video of
him playing in the water - he had a BLAST!!!! Reminded me of a little
toddler playing in the ocean, just on the edge, having the time of his life! We
worked in the yard from 1:00 to 8:15 Saturday. When we were done and
finally let Landry in the house, the poor dog went straight to his
kennel and went to sleep! Bless him. He's got a loooong summer ahead of
him:)
