This Thanksgiving weekend I came up to stay at my parent’s house while they are away. It’s so much nicer than hanging around a loud barracks building. I haven’t been in a house or other dwelling with a yard for quite some time. I thought I would get out and do some raking of leaves. You know help out the parents a little.
What is it about the trees that they seem to want to throw down more leaves only after you’ve finished that area? The thing was, I really didn’t mind. It’s the kind of work that one likes to do in taking care of a house, at least one who doesn’t have his own house yet. Barracks life gets boring when you have nothing to do outside like yard work.
Maybe I can get one of those small plots of grass they sell in stores and I can rake that.

I thought you'd go stay with your parents, but didn't know they WOULDN"T BE THERE! That's a bummer! Glad you enjoyed raking the leaves though... That task doesn't come automatic with home ownership; when you do get a house, look for one WITH trees - in addition to providing raking fun, it will help out with keeping the wind from knocking siding and facia off your house...
Rob, truly hope your Thanksgiving was blessed, though quiet. We thought of you and wished you some turkey. :-)
