Park Valley 8-18-2012

Another work trip to Park Valley.  Eric, Kwan, Grant.  not much to report the house was nice and clean
there were a few dead wasps.  The trailer was clean no droppings in any of the rooms. The screen door closer was pulled out of door jam and will need to be repaired.   We watered, mowed, cleaned out the dead wood from the front bushes.  All the logs that we pulled out last trip we cut up and cleaned more branches out from around the lower pond.  There were some old mouse dropping and chewed up napkins  still on the shelf in the house pantry from May that we cleaned up. Also cleaned up the big mouse nest in the main bathroom that has been there,  there were a few dried up dead mice in the mix.  Brought a few supplies to go into the mix listed on the note pad.  Long day not terribly hot had a little breeze to help out, went through 5 chains on the saws but got all that we planned on doing done plus a little.  Managed to replumb the toilet and start the new cabin as well as start on the new landscaping for the entry....until next time.

Park Valley Jew...

Just thought i would repost a favorite of mine.  I do not know if GrandPa ever know that he
had a nick name of  Park Valley Jew or not.  I don't know that i would call him that, but we do know
that he did like to make a deal or 2....

Grandpa Journal

Solemn  words, and these were they: "Even this shall pass away!"...
                                                      Theodore Tilton

I was looking at Grandpa's journal and it reminded me of the poem that Dad use to quote quite often.
