Randy finally got something he has wanted for the last few years. No it wasn't a new gun, golf club or any other man toy. He got the Pride of Andalusia.
The story is actually quite comical, if you know Randy and how he is about our yard. I came home one day while Randy was at work and there was the sign. I had to laugh because I knew Randy would have a fit. The yard looked terrible. The grass was awful, there was old pine straw in the beds,and there were dead plants every where.
When I finally got to talk to him and tell him his response was "Oh No." He told me to get straw in the beds. This is a task that I just can't do because me and pine straw don't work together. So his next sentence was call Jerry. Which is exactly what I did. Jerry had his guys come out here and they did a beautiful job. After they finished it looked like we should have won the award.
I am very thankful that the Junior Woman's Club thought that we were deserving. Randy loves spending time in the yard working. I think that he would do it all day everyday if he could. So I am glad that someone saw the efforts that he has put into the yard. On the other hand I think what have kind of monster has they created. We are now spending lots of time with Jerry and Kim. We have now planted 5 trees along with numerous other plants. It is really bad when your husband has been gone for two weeks and his first thoughts on his way home are where can I stop for plants. And the one that really takes the cake, is that he goes to the nursery before he even comes home.
Again, I appreciate the award but can I send the bill to the Junior Women's Club??

Congratulations on the pride of Andalusia award!!! I wish Jason would make more time to take care of our yard!! I told him yesterday that our yard looks like a rental house yard!! Turkey hunting seems to take priority to yard work.
Congratulations Randy! It does look great.
