It's already January 17th. So much for my intention of daily posts & pictures. Pretty sure I can't remember every detail since 1/5, but perhaps the highlights.
1/7 -1/11 Installation of pavers. The flatbed truck pulls up with our pavers. David & I go out to make sure that they are the right color. They are not. A call is made to Joe & he says I approved the color. Apparently, the color I approved was not the one I thought I approved so I have to settle for what's on the truck.
What happened? Earlier, Joe comes by the house with fax saying that David signed off on a color with yellow in the name. Joe thought that this was wrong so wanted me to verify the correct color. I told him I wanted anything BUT yellow. He said that's what he thought & mentioned another color that sounded right but I did not have the color swatch book in front of me so I really wasn't sure. The color we had picked out, after visiting the paver place, was very mono toned, with lots of brick red. The pavers we received were multi colored, with some red, some charcoal & some yellow! Since I did not verify the change, I felt obligated to settle for what was delivered.
In spite of my initial distress re: the paver mix-up, the driveway looks fabulous! I'm very happy with the way it turned out & feel like the alternate pavers have more excitment than the ones I originally picked out.
1/10 - Watered plants at the CC Historical Museum & got my hair done.
1/14 - Dinner at the Joint. Ran into Bob Gehring, who we met there about a year earlier.
1/15 - Flew up to MN. Matt picked us up and brought us home, as there was band practice that night.
1/16 - Cleaned some. Found 2 dead mice & 1 almost dead. Worked on the dog rain coat. Dinner at Mill Street where we ran into Browns & Olsens.
