Eileen says goodbye to her hot tub.
Sam and I say hello!
The hot tub completes our backyard.
We recieved the wonderful gift Friday morning and spent the day cleaning it and hooking it up. We filled it and turned it on. The kids, Sam and I have enjoyed it for the last two nights and are very grateful to Eileen for giving us this wonderful hot tub. We feel so spoiled. 
Old yucky looking rv gate.
New beautiful rv gate. Sam and I purchased these custom gates at a yard sale for $100.00 and had them leaning up in the backyard for the last several months. We spent the weekend installing them. Of course Sam had the wonderful idea of running electricity to power coach lights on either side. A couple of planters and trees and look at the result! Each time I drive up I marvel at how different it makes the house look. It was a lot of hard work and each morning I felt like I had a mac truck run over me!
It's been a while since I have been able to post anything to this blog. I had a variance hearing on the site of the shed and against major odds I was able to get an approval to keep the shed where it is currently located. The city had placed a large pink sign in the front yard announcing the hearing date and when I got home with the approval I posted my own sign over the top of theirs simply stating "APPROVED". I wanted to let whomever turned me in for building it to know that I got it approved. Heck, the rep from the City of Mesa talked the shed up to the board saying it was the nicest shed that has ever crossed his desk and that it was very well built. Thanks Jeff for your support!
