The task for today was to get as much fill dirt (sandy fill) as possible. I went to a place wehre they load you up and you pay by weight. Easy, right? Well, not if you're not sure which of the 20-some piles you should park at. I got stuck in a place where I had the back up the van/trailer in order to turn around, and I ended up jack-knifing, and smashed the van into the hitch's crank handle. Man, Oh, Man - that was pretty scary! I figured out how to get out of the mess I was in, and proceeded to find my destination. After getting my first load, I wasnt so sure the afternoon would go as planned. Luckily, when Jeff came home, he didnt kill me :) After all, it was an accident, and I love Ellie more than Jeff does...

Alright, so back to the original topic - I went to get a load of dirt. Then another. When I returned home, I had a wonderful visitor waiting for me...Our friend Maria is visiting from Dallas this week, and we got to spend some time with her this afternoon. Ben greeted her with hugs and about 5 or 6 kisses - there was more love in our family room today than we've seen all year! :)
Ben had a great time watching Jeff work. He kept climbing on the dirt pile and saying "Sand Castle!" Poor Jeff was beat, but we got a lot further than we had anticipated, despite my "little" accident earlier. It doesn't look like much sand from the house, but that was a ;little more than 6 tons!
