Today was a quiet day for us, being a holiday. I worked with the kids digging trenches for the water lines for the front. Justin was the real pick and shovel hero for the day, I don't know where he gets so much energy. We have installed a few facets already, want to add a few more. When I pressure tested the line yesterday for the first two facets, one of them blew ( I had dry fitted that link before becoming distracted. But it was funny! The facet launched!) Our yard is brown and ugly, but once we get a little vegetation and some landscaping going, I hope to improve the look. I found out that I'm allergic to mesquite trees, about the only thing growing here already. Now we have to decide if it is wise to leave a few in along the side, or pull them all out and replace them with something useful, like pecan trees or such.

It turns out that Greg and Brittany are allergic to Mosquite trees! (Along with other things.) Here is their report from the Allergy doctor.

This was in the Courier (Newspaper) around 1972. Thank you to Aunt Donna Jean for saving it for us.
