of shield walls and crack
The parents are coming Saturday to help tear down the shield wall in front of our porch. 8:30am. With tools. I must find something for my mom to do.
Secondly, they both applied for work at their local WalMart. Actually they have two local WalMart's, so I'm not sure why they didn't apply at both. But, as I thought when I read it, and Nala thought when I told him "that's good... maybe we can get some plastic crack when it hits the shelves."
Below, I've added a photo of the major work to be done in the front of the house. The Western shield wall is already gone (and it helped the basement immensely.) The Eastern shield wall is to be demolished Saturday, and the maple tree, too.

Did I say how much I love my dad?
