Phase one

We started on the ground breaking of some of the area of the country club; I’ve been making plans and thinking out just where to put the plants. I’ve been calculating concrete measurements and brick detailing, if the ground will dry some we plan on doing some digging. Which by the looks of the weather it’s not going to happen very soon, we can do many work a rounds to keep up the schedule.
Chris is just itching to get into the pool area, so I’ve had him painting out the general idea of the new planters and paths. Actually is a bit early for him to ogle the bathing suits, the warm temps really haven’t been there for us.
Tomorrow I plan on sitting down with a few of the directors and see if they like the direction we are going, sometimes its easier to visualize it on the ground instead of on paper.
Spoke to my mom a while the other night, in fact, I just told her to let me hang up and I would drive over for a visit. It was the first time I’ve been to the house since the birthday fiasco. It really doesn’t look good for her and Pops these days. (Why would I put this here?) I document everything that goes on, no holds barred. Besides how is this going to come back and bite me in the ass? I didn’t do anything; no murder involved however at times there could have been on my part. I see how she feels; it’s not easy to walk away from a 27+ year investment, you want to try and make it work. Hell, I can’t drop anything from a 3 month investment. Its evident that all the counseling and talking to the preacher, other family members isn’t working out for them, the same routine starts over in a few weeks of failed promises.
In my mind and heart I was half expecting him to grow up a little and expand his feelings. That’s just not going to be him; he can’t fathom a work around when it affects others. It’s his way or the highway and you can’t do that in a relationship. Just a little give and take and understanding, that accidents can and do happen and we will all make a slip in the road.
I don’t wish for the worst but when you see that it’s not going to work, sometimes in parting as friends is best. We will see how it goes in the next few months; I’m keeping tabs on my work progress and family progress in a big way.
