Last week Grandma Schwieder mentioned to Marianne that she was going to hire someone to do some yardwork for her. Well, Marianne decided that there were plenty of able bodied family members around so she sent out an email. On Friday afternoon everyone who could gathered at Grandma's house and weeded, trimmed, swept, washed, raked, hoed, cleaned, rototilled, etc. until the yard, garden and deck looked ready for summer. It was great fun and I tried to talk everyone into coming to my house next but even my own kids didn't go for that.
The kids picked up trash and pinecones and gathered all the old leaves out of the flower beds and under the bushes. It was good to have some little people. They can get into places we can't.
Of course grandpa still found time to play.
Heather, Brian's fiance, was there with her kids and her sister's kids. It was nice to meet her. This is Heather with her older son, Ben. They are very nice.
Grandma made two big pots of soup and some homemade bread for everyone to eat after the work was done. Nice ending to a good day!
