Catch up time / Dave's injured again

Last Saturday Linda and Larry came into town, this is a couple we met on the Mexico Caravan, and boy did we have a fun 2 days. We took them over on Sunday to Kim and Danny's to meet them and so they could see Miss Madison. While they were here we talked a lot, shopped a lot and played cards, we really hated to see them leave on Monday, but hopefully we will see them again in Oregon when we are there.
After they left we got back to work on the front yard of the Bakersfield house. We added sprinklers and capped off other sprinklers which included a lot of digging in the yard. We would work for a few hours, before it got too hot, then spend time with Kim and Miss Madison. Thursday we went and got a couple trees, plants, soil and a heck of a lot of rocks, we dumped everything off at the house and since it was already hot we decided to start work early Friday morning. Thursday night Dave went and filled the back of the truck with bark for the front of the house too.
Friday, in the flower beds we kept having problems with the old sprinklers, and because Dave had been kneeling all week his right knee gave out. So who's left to do the work, ME. Dave helped as much as he could, he was in a lot of pain, so while I worked he sat and gave me the instructions I needed to get the work done. I planted the plants, we had planted the trees together on Thursday, thank goodness, then it was time to start moving all those rocks we purchased for the grown cover. Boy was that a lot of work, getting it out of the driveway into the wheel barrel then onto the plant area, thank goodness by 12:30 I got to stop because I was going to watch Miss Madison because Kim had a funeral to go to. By 5pm I was back out trying to finish up with the rocks, Dave was out too, hobbling around trying to work. I finally sent him back in the house while I did clean up so he could fix dinner for all of us.
Saturday, we went over early again and we started with the bark ground cover. I filled the wheel barrel and dumped it and Dave was able to spread it around, as long as he didn't need to bend his knee. We got everything done pretty early and the rest of the day was just hanging around the house. Kim and Danny got to do some running around while we watched Miss Madison, then later Danny and Dave went to an electronic show at the fair grounds here, which was a rip off, oh well.
We had managed most mornings to play pickle ball but now with Dave's knee hurt we will have to take a break from it again till he feels better.

Miss Madison is getting bigger and stronger everyday, the other day while I was giving her a bottle she managed to hold the bottle. Kim was in the room working out and I took Miss Madison in there to show her, it was pretty cute but it didn't last to long, she wanted grandma to hold the bottle. She is staying awake a lot longer so you can play with her, her favor thing is the fan in the living room, she loves watching it go around and around. She goes for her 1st shots on the 13th so can't wait to see how much she has gained.
