Okay, I'm gonna go mow my mother-in-law's grass.

[Heidi]

Ya'll just stay here and talk about what a good daughter-in-law I am. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Heidi!

Oh, you are a good daughter-in-law!

Whew....I'd be lousy at mowing grass...

Haven't had a lawn in years!

:hi:

[Heidi]

2. Thanks a lot, Peggy. A REAL FRIEND would have tried

to talk me out of it. But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. :rofl: :spray:

:hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

I offered to do it for you in a different thread..

symbolic of course.

:cry: :cry:



I know you're kidding.....:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Of course you are, Heidi!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

4. ALAS, another fairweather friend

who didn't try to talk me out of it. :rofl:

:loveya:, SG!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Well, if it's really warm there, I would try to talk you out of it!

My lawn needs mowing something awful, but in this heat, I'd melt faster than the Wicked Witch! :rofl:

:loveya: Heidi!!!

[Heidi]

9. It's only 63° F., so I really have no excuse.

:cry:

*pout*

[SeattleGirl]

10. Sorry, honey.

You would definitely have an excuse here. Been close to 90 degrees the past few days. :sweat:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. ...

:hide:

[Heidi]

13. And YOU, Mister "I'll just hide,"

could high-tail it over here and help me. :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Yeah, and then SG would kick my ass *twice*

My mama didn't raise no dummies. :P

6. Now why would you want to go and do something like that?

A GOOD daughter-in-law would insist that she mow the grass herself because the exercise will do her good. It's good for her circulation and her cardio-pulmonary systems. Exercise helps to maintain the heart in good condition and it helps keep her in shape, thereby guarding against the possible onset of osteoporosis in later years.

AND the fresh air would be good for her.

How COULD you take all those benefits away?

Don't you DARE mow that grass. And if she absolutely won't...where's CMW???

[Heidi]

11. CMW's asleep.

That fact, coupled with his lifelong aversion to physical exertion, makes me wary about holding my breath in anticipation of his assistance with this project.

My mother-in-law is on vacation in Spain for another week, and the woman who's housesitting for her doesn't know how to use an electric lawn mower. :eyes:

[LaurenG]

15. We had to buy a riding lawnmower when we moved into our current house

I can drive it on over right now and we'll be done in a hurry!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

It goes about 5 mph. Just wait till I get there.

:hug:

[Heidi]

16. OhioBlues!!!!!

I'm finished now, including the trimming. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

How've you been? I miss you! :hug: :loveya: :grouphug:

[LaurenG]

17. Heidi, I am sad, I was going to help you!

I understand not wanting to wait a year or two for me to get there though.

I am doing well, we are taking a Vacation :woohoo: in a week!

How are you? I miss you too! :bounce: :loveya: :hug: :grouphug:

[Heidi]

18. Where you guys goin'?

:bounce:

I'm okay. Miss my goddaughters. They're in Menorca, Spain for two weeks, and it's awfully quiet in our neighborhood without them. x(

:hug: :loveya:

[LaurenG]

19. Aw I'm sorry you're missing the kids.

It will be nice when they're back. :hug:

We are having a stress free week. We'll take short trips throughout Ohio. We'll hike and see some of the Ohio caves and then sit on the patio drinking margaritas here at home.

My mom had sold her home in May but the contract fell through the day of the closing so she was delayed in coming but she's coming in early August so we have been very busy rearranging things. We are "mom" proofing the house; finding places she could fall, putting up railing, that sort of thing.

So no big adventures here, just relaxing and fun stuff for a week. :)

:hug: :loveya:

20. I have to admit, the same thought has crossed my mind a time or two...
