In February we received a notice that our garbage pickup was going to be from the back lane from now on. Well... it was the middle of winter and we are told that we have to hike the garbage over the fence now, because the fence was built by the show home people without any back lane access. So every Thursday night Dean crossed his fingers that the garbage wouldn't break over his head and survived every week. Then In June the Napa's came for a visit. In doing my part of keeping Papa happy and not bored, I had a "little" list of " Papa, could you do this?..... " on that list was a back gate. Well! he got to planning a Papa John original and starting getting the wheels in motion. He was out there sawing, and trimming and nailing. I think he may have even been whistling? Then, Voila! A beautiful gate was born! We happily used this gate every Thursday, and even sometimes left out the back way just because we could.
Fast forward to the Napa's next visit...... and Papa John witnessed his design, being stolen, exactly... by the neighbors!!!! We'll just say that's the best compliment ( aside from OUR happy faces ) that he could get.
Our beautiful gate.....
... the neighbors caught in the act!
Their finished gate
they tried to camouflage their gate... but it was too late. We witnessed it already!
