Posted on April 8, 2011 by Bev Vincent

We had a stretch of fence between us and our neighbors replaced this week. It included a gate. When the workers were finishing up we went to survey the results. Fenced looked good, but the gate was installed backwards! The … Continue reading →

Fore!

Posted on December 2, 2010 by Bev Vincent
