Adam: Time is flying by, Laura! I need to live life to the fullest! Challenge myself! I need something to push myself. Something really... I should climb a mountain. Laura: Or stain the deck!
Well, let’s see. When I was 58 I bought my first house. At 59 I rebuilt my patio roof, at 60 I built a shed from scratch, then two more smaller sheds, then a bench for my patio, then a wooden fence between my yard and the neighbor’s, then a pergola out front with jasmine on a lattice, then a raised planter using retaining wall blocks, then a 2 1/2 ft high x 70 ft long retaining fence along the back property line and spread about 6 cu.yds. of dirt to level the back yard. Currently I am building another raised planter out of the same kind of blocks in the front yard. I hope to be ready to order 3-4 cu. yds of good planter dirt and start transplanting my 30-year-old roses into it sometime next week. Who needs a mountain when they can play house!! (p.s. I’m a 69 year-old woman with arthritis and a bad back, but I’m having too much fun to let any of that slow me down)
