So I missed my speech team officers' meeting yesterday because I was still dealing with The Lawn that Would Not Be Mowed. When I finally got the trimming done, ate lunch, and picked up all the major sticks from the yard, I went to get on the riding mower and discovered not one but two flat tires. Of course, I had sent our portable air pump off to ( Read more... )
