Flying solo...
with the four girls...
at least that's what it has seemed liked over the past few weeks...
I have nothing to complain about...except the girls...they really miss their daddy...I at least see and chat with him when he gets home late or early in the morning...but they, especially Kiera, don't see him as much...
???WHY??? you may ask...well, October is sprinkler blowout month for us!! What is this, you may ask...well, for those of us living in Kennewick, once the irrigation water is turned off, sprinkler systems then need to be winterized by blowing any left over water out of the pipes. Once freezing weather sets in, if water isn't blown out, there is danger of freezing/bursting pipes...which are not fun to fix! (Mike fixed several this past spring.) Sooooo....Mike & his dad and brothers...pass out fliers, call previous customers, set up a packed appointment schedule, rent these compressors, and drive around--blowing out sprinkler lines!!
Mike & Co. have been doing this for what seems like FOREVER!! In fact, I remember when my brothers & dad did this for a Scouting fundraiser with our ward...but when wards discontinued, Mike's family took over several routes and that was probably...15 years ago!! Traditions!!
Here are a few pictures...
