Ch..ch..ch..changes

We finally got some landscape improvements made at the condo.

Our entry walk before was way too overgrown and these bushes drew bugs and beetles terribly.  There are actually severely trimmed back from before.

We finally got the association to permit them to be pulled.

Looks cleaner even without the stones and new appropriately sized bushes.

Much more inviting and cleaner looking!

The corner of the garage before...they were not even weeding the area.

Cleaned out, weed stop installed and looking better.

July in Brighton Continued

Some more pictures of fun times in Brighton.  We had Peter and Carmen stay over for two nights and the next day we met the Denja clan minus 3 at Greenfield Village for a nice outing.  

This is Isabel's lego house.  She has quite the story to go along with each room!

Peter really did like to have the story read to him...just not have his picture taken.
