Update on the dock!
Today I am joining Susan at Outdoor Wednesday and Watery Wednesday and Rednesday.
Make sure you visit and check out the other great blogs..
Our contractor had to take a week off of work. He is a single father of a 9 and 7 year old. On Monday of last week his ex wife passed away due to complications of alcohol. His youngest, a daughter, is really struggling. Please pray for his family.
He came back to work this Monday and has been making some awesome progress! We are really looking forward to the next big party to use all this wonderful space. Our yard is 70 foot across. The walkway covers the old concrete retaining wall that is now being held up with 8 of the 5" poles and tons of rock. The dock itself is 16 x 24! Yes, we did leave some swimming area. lol

| Today the roof over the boat slips goes on! |
Just for fun I thought I would add a picture I painted several years ago. It's hanging at my moms. My dad made the frame from wood that he found on the old farm place he grew up on. It is part of the original barn.

What a project..but I know you will enjoy it so very much.
First I have to tell you that I love your blog banner! You're so lucky to live on a lake. It's my dream to live on one some day. I don't think I could ever get tired of looking out on the water, and I bet it looks different every single day, whether it's raining, foggy, snowy or sunny. That dock is amazing, and the perfect setting for some great parties. And that painting is stunning. You are incredibly talented!
Happy REDnesday!

Oh no, how heartbreaking! Sending good thoughts and prayers for your contractor and his little ones. Alcoholism touches so many lives and is so devastating.
You lucky! How wonderful to live on a lake! Your dock looks beautiful. (I can't believe how he is perched on that ladder, that's some kind of balance he's got!)
Your painting is just beautiful Debbie. The frame is wonderful in and of itself, but to have such history and feeling behind for your family, tugs at my heart. So lovely.
Happy Rednesday,
Sally

Jasmine stole my heart right away!! You have such a lovely view of the lake. I can imagine just curling up with some hot tea, a good book, and Jasmine at my feet relishing in God's greatness.
