Mama mia. Those must have been spicy meatballs!

I've never been so thankful for sewer pipes and lift stations. And thankful that the only comparable problem I've had here was "the hole in the lawn that took two dump truck loads of dirt to fill." Falling into a large hole while mowing isn't the same as "the brown tide" but it also makes you want to stay inside. It's also possible that the hole originiated as an abandoned septic system.

Thanks for posting "the chins picture." It will always remind me what a good time we had, how much sun I got in such a short period of time, and what great shirt collections you have!
