Ched wonders why Sneedlet One is prohibited from riding in the Sneed Family Junkster, pictured above. It is not because the truck is inherently unsafe, but rather because Sneedlet's older brother, Christian, died as a result of a motor vehicle accident. We are very cautious with the Sneedlets as a result. The Junkster is too small to provide adequate protection in the event of an accident.Golf today was fun, but hot. Some Guy Named Bob arranged two foursomes, but two players didn't show up. I played in a group with Larry the Dentist and Tony the Cash Register Guy. As usual, I continue to suck at golf, but slightly less so than previously reported.
We bought a pergola today for the back patio. Costco Warehouse was clearing the remaining stock out at half-price and I think everyone knows how much I like the half-price sale. Our backyard has a western exposure, so it is very hot in the late afternoon. Hopefully, we will be able to get some shade. I think we can train one of the trumpet vines to grow on it. We'll see, I guess.
We also just came back from visiting Son Sneed at the hospital. As usual with someone regulating his meds, he thinks he is fit and able to come home. Hopefully the hospital staff will disagree with him. Last month's premature discharge proved disastrous. Son Sneed is complaining about the tedium of the hospital. When he is at home he rarely leaves his room. It really comes down to the quality of the television available and his computer. Given those two things he would be happy to stay for a long time.
Sneedlet is still with us and his welcome has worn thin. If I hear, "you're not my friend anymore", another time I may snap. His mom is picking him up at 8:30 in the morning and whisking him away. The Lovely Mrs. Sneed and I will be whisking ourselves to the airport and off to Las Vegas.
Everyone have a swell three-day weekend.

Have fun in Vegas.
Pergola! I'm jealous of you yet again. These trumpet vines...once they get going...let's just say in after awhile they might BE the pergola...sorta. Esp. if you plant one at each corner! You can train them.
You might consider Honeysuckle or a Hop Vine--they might be speedier. Can you "shade-cloth" it this summer?
I have always wanted a Wisteria Vine. Maybe this will be the year.
"You're not my friend anymore."
Just kidding.
:)
Woo hoo! Hope you guys had fun!
