They paved over paradise

....to put up a parking lot! Do you remember that song? Well, we don't actually live in paradise but we did pave it over today. Eeek! We live on top of a hill with a killer gravel drivewayIt has an embankment on one side to a creek and is pretty sketchy in the winter. We decided to have it paved. It all started this weekend when my daughters took to their bikes and were riding in circles in the garage, great fun. They reminded me of circus clowns! I thought how great it would be if they could ride on the driveway. So I made a phone call to get an estimate. It all happened so fast. The guys gave us a deal that we just couldn't refuse.

This first picture is of my girls walking down to the mail box, with our cat Belle of course who joins us everywhere. I was feeling nostalgic, knowing that I would never get a picture like this again.


The second shot is a sillouette of the girls sitting in the garage looking out towards the driveway getting graded. I love getting these shots
The men working....


And finally...our little piece of paradise! Not so bad, eh?
