Star Ship Enterprise is Christened 050507

Hurray! Woo Hoo! Alelluia! Wee Hee! Cheers! Laughter! Smiles! Lots of food and good times.

Indeed the deck was christened. Everyone that calls this home was here. Three daughters, two granddaughters, 1 son-in-law and several friends came and wished us well. Finishing the deck was like putting a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. Done.

I may have mentioned the only thing constant in the last 6 or so years has been change. Tonight the DH said "Looks like the deck has always been there." In our minds and in our hearts it was there. We Knew we wanted it - we had ideas on how it was going to look. We were aware that was the perfect berry that we sought after. But just like everything else in life - it is was a process - and because we are who we are - nothing is ever simple or straight forward. Who'd a thought that a septic tank not correctly decommissioned would have caused us this much trouble and cause such an adventure.

I often comment about some of my adventures that are so very crazy - you could not write stories that are this crazy because noone would believe what you said as either fact or fiction.

I LOVE THE DECK I LOVE THE DECK WOO HOO I LOVE THE DECK

Did I mention that in addition to the large star on the barn - DH and accomplices went and bought smaller stars and installed them while I was away at a Formal Tea? Ergo the name: StarShip Enterprise! It is splendid indeed! And the small accent Star Lights I bought while we were still in mud land are hanging so cute and romantic while in the hottub! And there are 5 stars on each post - one for each woman that assisted the DH in building the deck! One man, 5 women and about a year! Woo Hoo we are done!

I planted some plants in small transitional pots. I had about a dozen glasses of water and sat outside and drank them slowly while sitting on the deck! All in all it was a great day!

All are safe in their own little nests - the long day is done.
Soccer game won! Safe trip back to ChiTown!

Have a good week. Play some. Think some. Read some. Do a hobby. Spend time outside in the sun and then again under the stars. Reflect. Sit quietly and listen to what the the Lord of Life has to say. Love others. Be of good cheer. And try to make Monday the best day of the week.

Gardening season is about to commence! After a few more days of rest on the deck!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
