Did you even dig for water? Well, I guess I didn't dig a well, but I did put in a water line to supply us with well water for washing cars and watering plants! Each lot here has a supply of well water in addition to the city water supply to each home and RV. The well water is just a connection to the supply that has a shut off valve and a place to connect a water line for the owner to put in his own hydrant in any location that they wish. I laid about 50 feet of water line to get the hydrant handy to the front of the house and to the back door. Being as this is a retirement community, we only work hard for a few hours a day and so it took several days to get this done! But or flowers and the new trees will surely be happy for it! That project was completed on Monday.

Today was also the day for Muffie's annual spring haircut. Pam does the barber duties for her, and for me as well. Muffie is a really great pet, but she does shed and her long, black hair can be a real pain so we always keep her trimmed for warm weather.

I have also joined a group of men here who spend a couple of afternoons each week doing construction work for a nearby charitable organization. We spent this afternoon hanging sheetrock for a new recreation building. We get some work done but we also get to know each other better and we manage to have a good time while doing it.Most of the men here are involved in some type of volunteer services to the local community and many of the women do this as well. They are a really great group of people.
