The cement truck coming dow the driveway.


Colin manning the wheel barrow.


Just finishing up......I was pooped!

While standing waiting for the cement truck to go up the driveway, I noticed something pink just off to the side. Looking closer I found 3 beautiful Lady Slippers......so pretty!

Two smaller ones.



Once we got the forms all built for the footings, we were kind of let down because there were 1/2 load restrictions on the roads so we could not pour them right away. They told us June 15th these would be lifted. Wednesday morning we received a call from the building inspector to let us know they had been lifted.....YEAH! We called around immediately and found that Parry Sound would be the cheapest so we ordered from them for delivery Friday morning.

The cement truck arrived shortly after nine and the race began. In hind sight we should have ordered a pump but instead we had to wheel barrow the cement around the lower part of the footings. Poor Colin was beat by the time we were done! I didn't think that I would be much help but ended up shoveling and raking the concrete into place and leveling it with a trowel.......it was setting up very quickly so it's a good thing I was there to help. We finished just after 2:00 and then we had to clean up and hook up the trailer to head to Barrie for a much needed dump, Sherri-Lyn's Baby Shower and her mother's Cancer Fund Raiser.

We did not end up getting to Barrie till 11:00. When I finally go into the trailer the dogs were going wild! They were convinced that there was something in the trailer. After some investigation....I found 2 little eyes peering at me from under the small slide ( can't put it out at Cort's as there is not enough room). As I really did not want or need another house guest I went on the hunt for my mouse trap. My third guess at where they were proved to be correct. With the trap set it was time to hit the hay.....I needed sleep as I found out I hurt in places I didn't even know I had!
