a need for every teenage boy....

"Mom....dad.....can I have a cell phone???"

we take the boy shopping and find just what he needs!!!

The Classic Reel Mower

I had actually planned to spend Jeff's hard earned money on paint for my bedroom...to cover up a previous "fix it...home improvement job"...or carpet to cover the nasty "Brady Bunch linoleum" that I have been living with for 11 years....or put the money toward roofing our leaky house...or.....

You know how it goes...every time we get that "extra" money...someone breaks an arm or needs surgery or something else in the house falls apart...

This time...it was the lawn mower.

Jeff went out to get the lawn mower ready for spring....before he leaves for his next big trip.

Our old lawn mower, that we "borrowed" from my dad 11 years ago....decided to take a break this year....

Jack is taking over the yard work, so we decided to go with the Classic Mower!! 

.....builds strength

.....builds character

.....lower phone bills

.....too tired to be naughty

I am excited about mowing the lawn this year! It will be quiet! I can sit on my swing with my ice tea and enjoy watching my son......work.....

AND if we like this new mower..... we have enough money left over to buy the smaller one for my younger son.....DOUBLE TREAT!!!
