Get'N'R Done

After having sessions all morning, this afternoon we once again had work to do. We spent the whole 2-1/2 hours working in the flowerbeds around the Mark Center, clearing out leaves, pine cones and the like.
 Steve used the leaf blower afterwards to clean up the sidewalk areas. Steve's a shoot-from-the-hip kind of guy, at least that's what "you people" say.
My friend Rachael and I decided to tuck in our t-shirts in order to keep our butt cracks to ourselves and we formed the gang "the Tuckers". No one else joined.
 Afterwards, we spent a little bit of time in the hot tub to relax and refresh after the long day. That's Steve trying out a new swim-style.
 In the evening we were supposed to have another session but Steve Klassen, the guy who was leading it never showed up. We chalked it up to him being a busy guy (and him being sick of us because he did an earlier session with us as well he's in charge of the work duties because he owns the Mark Center). So we sang instead and hung out in the Great Room and I made microwave hot fudge for a snack over ice cream. If I look like Mom, it's because sometimes I feel like one.

i cant even begin to describe how impressive the tucking of the shirts is, its so simple, and its almost as if no other girl has ever thought of that before. i seem to remember working on a particular fence a year ago, and i believe we were all complaining of the infamous butt crack exposion. seriously, nice work, consider me apart of the gang.
and i agree with toby, good work on the physical labour and bible study, it screams MCI but i bet it feels good.
anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO. i got you a present but i ate it already. it was chocolate. sorry..
luff ya!

What do you got to do to get the first comment?! I was the first one on your facebook to say happy birthday though so that's got to count for something. Sounds like you guys are having a blast and that's awesome! Say hi to my Oma if you see her. Pretty sure she is just up the street from you not kidding. It's Pineview ave. Lots of hookers on the corner and her house is yellow ha!! Ok well gotta run but miss you lots!

To be first commenter you usually have to check around 1 or 1:30 a.m. Manitoba time, or first thing in the morning, that is why Toby gets SO many first comments!
