I say if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester and smother it with love until it either loves you back or dies.

Good morning everyboomie.
It's Friday......again. Woo Hoo!
We had an awesome day down here. Got up to 70 degrees. Windy as heck though. In fact the wind woke me up in the middle of the night.
My sister came over this morning, and we went to IHOP. After that we told each other IHOP to see you again soon.
After that Missy and I drove out to the sod farm. Actually I drove while Missy did her usual job of distracting me.
We walked around for several hours,and I found a scraper. That's about it.
Friday we're going to be 20 degrees cooler. Bummer!
No plans for that.
Have a happy day everyone, whatever you've got going.

Hope you find more on your next trip to the farm.
Not helpful, as I have another 4:30 am wake up for yet another reset. 
At least it's Friday, so I'll be able to rest over the weekend. Looking forward to having some days off. 
Happy Friday everyone!
