Friday morning we stayed around home to keep an eye on the chicks for awhile. A couple of them needed some attention to make sure they were okay.
Meanwhile, Herb decided to fire up our anniversary present to ourselves: a DR chipper-shredder that Nicholas helped him put together the other day. We had accumulated quite a pile of fallen branches that were cluttering the area near the driveway, so there was plenty to feed the DR--a terrifyingly powerful piece of equipment!
Aaaagh! That thing will take your arm off it you aren't careful!
Later in the afternoon we headed over to Leahaven to spend our last evening with my sister Barbara and family. Everyone swam in the lake till thunder drove us out of the water. By then it was time for Herb to grill steaks to go with the wonderful meal the Thompsons had made.
It was sad to say goodbye, but we'd had a wonderful week together! Thank you all for making that long trip to come see us! Y'all come back, y'hear?
It was so great to see you guys--the whole week was fantastic! Thanks for having us!
