^I think it's funny that we were eating at a Chicago Style pizza joint. I wonder how much snow there is in Chicago right now.

 

nice pics patty

enjoyed breakfast w you and jerry today! kent has a new car!

 

I know, Tom. I sent him a PM thanking him for recommending Angie's List and he told me about the new Accord.

 

Last week a friend and I took our grandkids duck pin bowling. They enjoyed it and Ally wanted to go again this week and asked to bring her friend. They had a good time again, though Ryan quit in the middle of the game as he was losing. He hates to lose.

They have some "bumpers" in the lanes to prevent too many gutter balls.
This place is pretty ancient!

 

duck pin bowling - neat to know they still do that out east

 

We've got a few. Ten pin is more popular here. You can find a candlepin lane or two, but that was never very popular.

 

[QUOTE=Kyras,Dec 26 2010, 11:54 AM][SIZE=4]The hillside slide behind my house is now encased in plastic sheeting.

 

^^^I hope they are going to put some sod on the exposed earth, if not, you could be facing the same problem again in a heavy rain. Otherwise, looks like a good job!

Did you ever find out who is responsible for this? As in, who pays the bills??

 

^Gene, sod would just die. We pretty much only get rain in the winter. That hillside turned green last winter and then the growth died and was cut down, and then again, with our October rain it greened up and was cut down just before the rains in December. The hillside is not watered except by nature.

I found out that the property owner may be the builder of my home and that my view may be screwed up with new grading for new construction, soon. We'll see. Anyway, the property owner is who paid for the plastic and then today's compaction. Who ever it is.

 

Glad they took care of that, Patty. One less worry for you.
