Grandma Valdine's home with her new picket fence.
Another view of the fence.
One more view.
Kirsten's favorite place to be---in her Grandma's lap! :o)
We went down to Oregon for the 4th of July weekend. Jordan and Lisa had a special occasion. Jordan blessed Adelaide at church today. Adelaide was good for the most part. She is sooo sweet! Jordan gave her a beautiful blessing.
Kirsten always gets so excited whenever we go down to Oregon. Kirsten just loves her Grandma Valdine soooo much! It's her most favorite place to be! :o)
Grandma got a new picket fence! We had taken part of our picket fence out along one side of our backyard. The developer told Neil he could have the picket fence at the model home just across the street from us as he liked how we were having a taller backyard fence put in and he wanted them to match. Neil took out both lengths of picket fence and took them down to Oregon.
Out with the old rail fence and in with the almost new picket fence! It was only 6 months old.
Scott, Neil's brother, hired a college student working a summer job at PGE to install and paint the picket fence. When Neil took the fence out, it got a few scratches and where he dug out the posts, it needed repainting. The young man Scott hired didn't have quite enough fence to finish along the side yard and had to buy materials and build the last section. He installed and repainted the entire fence. He did a wonderful job! Grandma's fence is beautiful and she loves it! She's already had several people stop by and tell her how nice it looks. Grandma wanted the corner left with the ivy covered brick. When they had the other rail fence in several people had backed into that corner and Darrell used to have to repair it. He fixed that problem by putting brick there. I like the green colored ivy there. It looks nice.
If you notice, Grandma's roses and Rhodie plants looks so nice. Neil had cut the Rhodie's back quite far. They were just too huge. They are coming along nicely and next Spring she should have some beautiful blooming Rhodies! They will be much more manage to trim.
