Gayle, so glad you are able to get this done. It's looking really good. I got a chuckle out of the tiny path your dogs had made. It's like a yorkie size path.

Your hubby looks like a very kind man. Hope he is able to be with you for a very very long time.

Mine is able to do things around the house, but he's either too busy or would rather be relaxing and recharging, but he is good about seeing what needs to be done and hiring someone to do it. Since he's a builder, he has access to economical workers. Our home was needing water blasting and the porches repainted. I hadn't even particularily noticed, but he did, so he got someone over to do it. Our front door is sealed wood, with leaded glass and needs refinishing every 2 to 3 years. He commented the other day that he needs to get the door redone. I feel so blessed to have someone who will get things done.

He hasn't agreed to the bedroom addition that I want though. Must keep pressing him. And I still have carpet in the living room. The tile I wanted turned out to be way to expensive, so we are supposed to be looking at other sources, or perhaps doing it ourselves.

Your flagstone looks great!!!! I love the use of natural things like stone. Can't wait for more pics.
