THE SWANSON'S

Car Club trip to Ferron, Utah

2009-07-23T13:35:00.000-07:00

A group of us from the Car Club went to visit this gas station in Ferron and have our pictures taken. Kevin thought it would be fun if we dressed up from the era of our car, hence the hippy outfits since our car is a 1967 Olds 442. First time he has dressed up since his childhood Halloween days and he even tie-dyed his own shirt! The guy that owns this cooked us a BBQ. He was thrilled to show off his collection and it was a lot of fun. We'll probably do it again next year.

Well Kevin is living up to his t-shirt that says "Forget the house---how big is the garage". The first garage is so cramped with stuff that you can hardly walk around so0000---- we are building a second garage that is going to be 32 x60. Following are pictures during construction.

A picture of Kevin and his Dad with the 53 Mercury. He was really surprised.

Kevin thought he knew the surprise present I had got---but he was wrong!!!

The Front Yard Project of 2008

2008-12-21T23:22:00.001-08:00

The first picture was taken on Sept. 1st. The weeds, fence, and other plants had been removed earlier in the summer.

After things dried out a bit then the cement was laid for the planting areas. These pics were taken on Sept. 10th.

Well after having about 9 tons of dirt dropped off in the yard ,we then shoveled it into the planting areas and planted the trees, shrubs and flowers. There are four different areas and I planned on using a drip irrigation system. The materials for the new vinyl fence were delivered. Now its Sept. 18th.

Now it's Sept. 22nd and the fence has been started. Weed fabric has started to be put out, and about 10 tons of gravel was delivered. Oh boy - here we go again with shoveling. Well one added benefit is that my weight loss plateau was broke with all that shoveling and exercising.

Things are moving faster now, Jeff Miller and his family have brought the grass. These pictures were taken Sept. 26th. We have still been moving gravel, the fence company helped out and moved some of it with a bobcat, thank you! Kevin and I also took several rides and collected some boulders to place in our yard. Unfortunately, Kevin hurt his back and can hardly walk so I am trying to finish moving gravel by myself.

Finally!!! Oct. 4th and we are about done. I hired a couple teenage boys to finish moving the gravel ( the best money I ever spent). When we were collecting boulders we were also collecting flat rocks for our natural walkway and guess what---had to shovel sand around the rocks. We placed a few solar lights, including some lights on top of the fence post. Kevin says it looks like an airplane runway but you can surely find our yard at night. We have a few more ideas we want to add next summer and we can't wait to enjoy all our hard work. We love it, no watering, no mowing and it looks AWESOME!!!!!!!
