ARRIVED IN HONDO

 

We received the call that we had been waiting for on Friday afternoon……..we had been released from our gate assignment.  We packed up and headed for Hondo, arriving around 4:30 p.m.  Got set up and headed into town for some dinner.

Saturday we got up early and went into San Antonio to do some shopping……we needed some gardening tools (as you will see soon), Jim needed to get wood to build his hobby table in the shed and we were looking for a small patio set.  It was a long day, leaving here around 9:00 a.m. and got back around 5:00 p.m.  But, we got everything we wanted to except the patio set….it seems to be difficult to find a small set….all they seem to carry are the large dining sets….so we are still on the hunt for that.

The lot we bought here in Hondo has more vegetation on it then we would like and we discovered that there was a lot of trimming to be done.  Here are a couple of photos of the bushes when we arrived:

     

Here are some photos after we trimmed them up:

      Just a little difference and three truckloads of brush/leaves down to the burn pile!!!!

We have also cleaned the shed out.  There were (2) shelving units, one of which we are keeping, the other one Jim is taking part of it out in order to build his hobby work area.  And they also had carpet on the floor which we took out and will eventually put tile down.  All of that has to be taken to the dump Saturday morning.

  

I will send some photos after Jim finishes everything.

And this is what out lot looks like with us parked on it

We are very happy that we bought the lot, but I will tell you that I had forgotten how hard yard work can be!!!!!  But, hopefully now that we have everything trimmed up the maintenance will be much easier.

 

Take care and love to all

 

Linda and Jim
