What did I do this past weekend? My brother Eric and I did some landscaping for my Mom. She had the windows in her basement replaced last year. To do that, the window wells had to be taken out which really tore up the yard. Eric put the wells back in a week or two ago, but the yard still needed to be put back together. I don't have a "before" picture, but it wasn't good. The grade was off and Mom actually got some water in the basement through one of the windows a couple of weeks ago. She was lucky and didn't suffer any damage, thank goodness. Below are the "after" pictures. Once we get some bushes and flowers in, and let's hope the grass seed takes off, I think it will look great!
Has anyone else started to work out to lose weight? I started about a month ago. I lost 5 pounds in about 2 1/2 weeks in the beginning. However, I've actually gained some of that back even though I've been doing Weight Watches AND exercising. How disheartening is that? I'm hoping that it's because I'm building muscle. I've heard that muscle weighs more than fat. I think my clothes are fitting more losely around the waist and hips, so I'm going with the loss of fat, gain of muscle theory. If you have any insight, I'm all ears!

That brother Eric must be some kind of guy. It seems that all the great projects that you do involve him for some reason. He's a keeper!
