Yes, I laid off today… Did some personal things, forgot about my blog, then sat down to watch a little football at the house… With my crew!
With all the B.S. going on in the world, a little football sounds pretty good!
Have an “Uneventful” weekend…
Go TITANS!

Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day! God Bless America! 🇺🇸💥
Thanks Pete! We all need a long weekend!
By the way, I’m talking about Mr. – 👇🏻
“Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too.”

Most travel plans have been put on hold, as I’m sure you are well aware… So for our Anniversary trip, we decided to do it by Boat 🚣♀️ Talk about social distancing! Tanning, reading, jamming music, taking photos, and just cruising the boat. Only stopping to take dip or refuel at an available marina.
What a wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary!
We taken many a road trip as well, but there’s nothing like just floating around on the river for a few days!
“Dark brown is the river.
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
Where will all come home?
On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

I just had to amend my Blog today… it was on deck to publish… and I forgot to pull the trigger 😳
This was last years Anniversary photo… a 26 year comparison shot. Not to shabby 😊
I, WE are taking a few day’s off to celebrate and to try and slow it down a little… Jo and I always try to plan some time around our Anniversary & we both look forward to time together. The years are literally flying by… But, I’ve apparently been having fun, because I haven’t really noticed 😊
So, we are gonna take a break for a few days and try to relax. I will share some pics from the road over the next few days.
Thanks 🙏🏻 Have a great weekend!

You ever have one of those days… It seems like you can’t get it all done ✅ Even though it started out as an “Easy Day at the office”… Getting off early! All I lack is “Finishing a few things up” 😊 Oh well, can’t let it get me down!
Just a phone call or two and I’m done for the weekend! Wait! Not so fast! Just one more thing…
I literally forgot about my blog today! 😳 Forgot much of my 4th of July “to-do” list… BUT – Good News! Long Weekend coming up!
The long awaited 4th of July Weekend! Are you ready?
Im gonna keep it simple!

PS:
I want to take a minute and say how thankful I am to be an American! No other country on the face of the earth affords us the rights and privileges that we have as Americans.
Have a Safe & Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Well, you can’t go to Disney World right now, or out to eat or even to a movie! So, the way you look at it is ALL up to you… Lockdown or time off. Shelter at home, or a “Staycation”!
If you could take the family to Disney for the week, do you know what the average cost would be? Depending on how much discounting and coupons and deals you work out, expect to spend as much as $10,000.00! You keep the memories and the pictures of course.
– That my friends is another reason more and more people are Staycationing! They are putting in Water Gardens, swimming pools, patios, grilling stations, fire pits 🔥and creating Outdoor Living Space right in the comfort of their own backyard! And why not!? You can access and enjoy these areas day and night! They add to your daily enjoyment AND to your property value!
My personal Outdoor Living Area at night. The Pond is the centerpiece, surrounded by gardens both edible and ornamental with sitting and lounging areas, a Grilling station and a nice fire pit. I’m down for a “Staycation”! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN

I am doing remote designs during this critical period of social distancing. We can discuss ideas on the phone or through email. You can send me pictures of your backyard areas and I can develop ideas and work up sketch’s that you can ‘Ponder’ 😊 For the future. Hopefully the not to distant future 😎
Thanks for reading and watching! Stay safe! And enjoy your Staycation.
