Barnsley Gardens Part 2

Very Chilly Saturday Morning!

Very Chilly Saturday Morning!

Saturday morning start off cold!! It was cold when Timber and I went out for our morning walk. Timber was so excited to be out and about. He stopped and smelled and marked as many trees, bushes and posts he could. We then went to a large open field looking over the golf course to play ball. He was in heaven.

Ready for the day!

After breakfast Aidan and went and rented some bikes. There are lots of trails and pathways around the property you can walk, hike and bike. I ended up getting a leisure bike. Ok, there is a big difference between my hybrid bike at home and the leisure bike I ended up with. Did not really like it. But off we went. We had a wonderful time until during one of our brakes The Boy some how tripod over himself and his bike fell on his shin. The Boy is skin and bones and the bike banged him up pretty band. He did not cry though! So strong.

We made it back to the property and dropped of our bikes. We then went to the lobby and got him some ice for his leg. One of the staff gave Aidan a bag of chocolates. I think he felt better after one or two of those. My Man and Timber went on one run and a hike while we were there. Timber had a blast and even got a bit muddy!

Poor Guy!

We went and hung out at the Beer Garden for a while before dinner. The Boy loved the fire and had the space to run around. Timber liked meeting new people and being told how handsome he is.

After dinner we hit went to the lobby and stocked up on ‘smore supplies. There are fire pits all over the property and we were lucky to have one right in front of our cottage. One of the staff members lit the fire for us and The Boy got to cooking. I can not tell you how many The Boy had but when he later said his tummy hurt, I wasn’t all that surprised.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Comment on the next three days posts. You can comment as often as you want. Tell me what you like. Don’t like. What you want to see more of on the Blog. Do want to see an interview with Timber or Turbo? You tell me…as many times as you want.

2. I will remind you each day to comment. The contest will end Tuesday night @ midnight. On Wednesday morning, The Boy will randomly choose one person from each day’s comments as the winner. To make it fair and scientific, he will have his eyes closed.

Look what we got!

L1030185

Doesn’t the sign rock? My Man’s Dad, Bob, sent this to us on Thursday. We were all excited when it came but had to wait a day to come up with ideas where to put it. I think The Boy wanted to put it into his room. Uh No. My Man suggested we drill it to the basketball post in the driveway. I pointed out that he hates that basketball post and has wanted to take it down since the day we moved in. Plus that would in tail a drill and who knows if we have one of those. We decided to hang it up in the screened in porch. I think it fits in perfectly.

Bob has sent us almost all of our Hotel Yorba items. We even have beach towels!  I love that he gets it! Thank you again Bob!! You need to come down and visit us soon.

Hotel Yorba Landscape Project Update

We got our first quote from Green Acres Landscaping, Inc. yesterday. At  first it wasn’t as high as I thought it would be but then I realized it did not in include the new fence, removal of a tree or the chicken coop. So who knows what it will cost. We also have a few questions for them so I am thinking a second meeting is warranted. I am impressed with their turn-around time. We have yet to hear from WDesign Landscape Inc. I am planning on giving her till Monday before I e-mail. That will give her a week and unlike Green Acres Landscaping, Inc., she is planning on sending us a mock-up design. Which we also want from Green Acres Landscaping, Inc! We have one more meeting set up for Tuesday with Dream Scape Designs.

Timber and Pandora

Getting closer

Getting closer

Timber and Pandora’s relationship is slowly moving a long. He whines whenever she comes is the room and she flops down and shows him her belly. They are getting closer and closer when napping or chilling in my office. I know Timber so badly wants to snuggle up close with her but is being a gentleman.

Shout Outs

Amy & Tommy A.- The dinner you made was off the chain! My Boys loved the beef brisket. Even I had some and it was so good. The potatoes and corn salad were wonderful! Thank you for thinking us!

Andy & Dee B.- Tom’s Mom’s Cookies?! Directly from Harbor Springs! I can still remember waking up to the smell of their cookies a few years ago. Love Harbor Springs and love you two more!
