Seriously, at Midnight?!?!
Well, I believe my neighbor has had the most memorable graduation party ever this evening. First off, congrats to Megan for completing her teaching degree at TWU, amazing accomplishment. (I have sixteen weeks and two days left until I finish my Bachelor's, but I'm not counting!) So, this evening, she had family and friends over for food, beverages and festivities. I took part on a little of the indulgences early in the evening, then my lovely bride returned from work and joined us. My neighbors had baby magnolias planted in their back yard. Amber and I have wanted a magnolia tree for a while, and since the amazing Bradford Pear trees that the builder planted had already died, we decided now was the time to act on the 50% off sale that we learned about from our neighbors. So, after a couple of adult beverages, we head to the local Lowe's.
Let me tell you, Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum apperently makes one think things are bigger than they are. Case and point, the four trees (two Magnolia Jane, one Magnolia, and a Meyer Lemon tree for me) really should not have fit in the back of a little rabbit!
Well, as the alcohol has definitely not worn off on the party guests, I somehow convinced them that they needed to help me and Amber remove the old, dead trees at midnight! Six half drunk guys, two (now broken) shovels, one pick ax, and a reciprocating saw later, the two dead trees have been removed. The new trees were planted in their spots, as a large hole was left from the dead trees.
Since they were so generous to help, I raided my own liquor cabinet, and allowed each of them to please help themselves to liquor! And, how rude would it have been for me to not drink with them. Six shots later, this blog post may not make as much sense as it does in my head!
Pictures forthcoming on Flickr of the new trees. It is pouring now, so I have them propped up with random chairs and the Meyer Lemon is hidden behind a wall. I hope they survive the imenent storm!
I have seen enough lightning for one night, I'm going to bed! Good night!
