{lost in translation}

Voy a comenzar esta entrada en español. Mi hermoso marido no dice una lamedura de español. Aún él sigue tratando de hablar a nuestros trabajadores de paisaje.

Now how much of that did you understand????


My guess is that's how much our landscape guys understood when George was trying to explain to them that he was not happy with what they were doing to our yard.

This is our yard. The two metal things are the chicken coops.


Uh oh. He only paces when he's realllllly upset. I'm staying right here in my room with a view.

No George, don't do it!! Don't sacrifice yourself for the sake of a green green yard. I promise I'll never complain about gravel and mud again!! Please Mr. Big Machine Driver stop and don't run him over!

Whew!! That was a close call! Believe it or not the drama continued for about an hour. Finally, they got back to work and very soon now we will have green pastures as far as the eye can see.

Stay tuned for pictures.

{lesson learned}


Innocuous adj. harmless

This was the word I used to ease George's tension as the kids begged him to play.
"Oh go ahead honey, it looks fairly innocuous."


"Hold on tight honey!!"
Truth be told, what I was really thinking was, holy cow he looks like he's going to hurl!

Oh boy that doesn't look good.

"Honey, I'm just gonna stay over here and take some pictures. It's for the blog you know."

Lesson(s) learned:

The antonymn of innocuous.

Men over 40 shouldn't let their kids spin them at will on playground equipment.
