Dad & Louise's deck

Last week was busy with River Festival activities! We love this time of year in Wichita--so much fun stuff going on for a week. We went to the parade, walked in the River Run, saw Loverboy in concert and walked in the Walkfest. We also had a birthday party and a celebration at school. Full week! I'll post pictures soon of the festivities.

Dad's having his deck covered! They have a great deck with built-in seating, but the huge tree next to the house drops leaves and twigs on it all the time. Here's the first installment of progress pictures. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good weather tomorrow and Friday--I know he'd like to see it closer to done before the holiday weekend. Wish we lived closer so we could enjoy it, too!!

P.S., for those keeping track, the "hanging garden" is doing great so far! Our pepper plants and one cherry tomato plant are blooming.
