Our Christmas Present....to Each Other


We had decided that we were not going to exchange gifts this year. We thought taking care of the kids and grands plus the cost of the trip to Tennessee for Christmas would be enough. She changed our minds.

Shortly before time for us to travel, Ms. Becky saw some decorative curbing around one of our neighbor's flower gardens. It really caught her attention. She mentioned that it would certainly look nicer than the stones and blocks, etc. that we had around all of our flower beds.

I found out that the people that own Tree Frogs and take such good care of our lawns also own Creative Curbs and Concrete Designs. I saw one of the owners when they were here with the mowers and inquired about the cost of the curbing. She measured off the area we talked about and gave us an excellent price. I passed this information along to Ms. Becky and left it up to her. Her first response was that we didn't need to spend the money for that right now. Remember, she is a female. Two days later she changed her mind.

Creative Curbs promised that could get it done before we left for our Christmas trip, and they did. Of course, by then, the project had grown to include curbing around two more trees. Here are some pictures of the results.

The Ficus is in the back yard. The Palm is in the front yard next to the driveway.
