How much dirt can you pact onto a pair of jeans?

I know now I do not care for landscaping. Today started toooo early. I was waiting by the front door at 2:45 with my cup of tea wearing my old cashmere sweater filled with hole - I love that sweater. Rarely can you get something so nice filthy and not feel bad.

Me and another sister were assigned to hose off a stump! At first I had my suspicions that they were just trying to keep us occupied, but not so - that was a very difficult job that lasted hours, and the hose was huge and heavy - I will never become a fireman. The best is yet to come though.

So in the afternoon we set out to plant a bunch of huge palmy things all around the trailer for relief work so it is not visible (btw this is at the Ft Lauderdale Assembly hall). Anyways, this little French man and a brother set about this task by jumping on one of those mechanical yellow digging machines. Well what do you know...They dig up a waterpipe! The little, I really should say short (he wasn't that little) man was already on a crane thing putting a ten Ft palm in the hole. So you know the French people from Monty Python with the "ridiculous accent"? This guy stepped out of that movie - hilarious. So he's twenty Ft in the air maneuvering this ten Ft tree that is hanging on a chain, moving it into the hole that is now filling up with water. "it'z an ol pipe" he says and plants the tree. So Eve, that's his name, continues to dig with his backhoe thing, and he digs up and brakes another pipe! So the young plumbers were not finished tracing the other broken pipe when, the little French guy yells "I zink it'z a nutter pipe." So we actually have to turn some water valves off. I hope this isn't boring you, because I'm NOT FINISHED. So me and these other guys are digging and digging so that pipe can be replaced. So while we're digging the little French guy is determined to get all these trees in the ground, so his big shovel machine is digging three feet away and....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................He hits another pipe! What a productive day! The first pipe that was broken turned out the be old and unused, and we fixed the second one that was broken and they're probably finished fixing the third one by now. It really was hilarious. Eve, although not the best on the backhoe, is so nice. I was I circuit overseer, I think for the French congregations, and he's been the caretaker at the assembly hall for ten years. Well, that was my day.


AND Swing flips kick butt!!!! Boys, I am soo proud of you guys. I don't think I would do them anywhere except over grass. But They're sOooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. :)

Also, if anyone has heard Clap your HAnds Say Yeah could you let me know if it's junk. I'm trying to download it, but I think it's going to take ten years.
