The Building of Darling Auntie's Fence.......

It was a family affair which is always nice!

 

The Man and I got up around 6:30 and got Black Betty all loaded up with our fencin' supplies.  Black Betty by the way is soon going to be in the infirmary.  She's got tranny troubles, so very soon we'll be pulling it and getting it to the tranny doctor for rebuilding.

When we arrived at Auntie's house they were standin' in the yard with their coffee waitin' for us.



Pop Pop (my dad), The Man, and Uncle 4 are conflabbing on how best to get about the fencin'.

Uncle 4 is ready for his GQ photo spread, the post drivers of Illinois...

That's my Mama (aka Granny Bob) walking towards us and my cousin Big J looking at the camera.  His woman Little D is walking away.  We are running a string so we can make sure all the steel posts are in a nice line.

Little D and Q Baby.  Q Baby was a big help with his own personal Black and Decker tool set.

The Man and Little D putting the clips on that hold the fence to the steel posts.

The Man, Big J, and Q Baby.  Q Baby is makin' sure that his daddy and The Man are "doin' it right"!

And we are done! 

This is my dad holding Q Baby.  My dad is his Great-Uncle

Darling Auntie.......

That beautiful lady in the center of the picture is my Darling Auntie.

  I actually have three darling aunties, but this is The Darling Auntie.  She has never had children of her own, so you can imagine how much she loves us and spoiled all of us growing up.  She is now on to loving and spoiling the next generation.  She is always giving and sometimes gives so much of herself that I worry there will be nothing left! 

She has 4 pugs of her own (the fawns) and more often than not she has her daughter in law's pugs as well (the black ones).  She recently moved into a different house and hasn't got a nice fenced in area for her 6  pugs.  The Man and I decided that since she is always doing for everybody else, we were going to fence her back yard in for her!  She didn't want to let us do this, but I asked her to not cheat us out of doing something nice for her.

So that is what the 4x4's from the "boat dock" are going to be used for.  We will use those to brace up the corner posts for her fence.  That is our weekend project for tomorrow.  The whole family is coming to help and it will be so exciting to do this for our Darling Auntie! 

Stay tuned for pictures of happy pugs running wild! 

God Bless..........
