Grandson Hyun celebrates his 16th this week

The old hammock that Brooke and kids put up several weeks ago broke. I guess I was tooooooo heavy or the ropes just couldn't take this extreme variation in weather and were worn out. So I bought a new striped one and "the boys" came down and put it up, Hyun raked and moved white rocks to new area and Brooke transplanted cacti to pots to replace roses that couldn't survive without some TLC year round.

Haedyn was a good helper too taking up the broom to sweep on brick patio and then trying out the new hammock to make sure it was just right for Mama Bear.

Then since Hyun had given me some good service I invited him to take a spin in my cute little red hotrod. He did pretty well with dad giving him all sorts of instructions and I wasn't white knuckled too much of the time.

I'm not sure Hyun needs these brain puzzlers as he beat Haedyn and I soundly at an updated version of Monopoly during his 16th birthday get together.

Weather's been gorgeous - still doing 2.2 miles on daily walks, but down to 90.0
