The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

A wonderful weekend

Well, we had another very busy, and productive, weekend at the Merranko house. It all started on Friday with a wonderful Mother's Day celebration at the kid's school for mommy. The kids were very excited to give me their homemade gifts as well as eat the cookies that they made for mommy :) Then, it was home for Andrew's third birthday celebration. He had a great birthday filled with lots of loud toys and cake and ice cream. Perfect for a three year old boy! Saturday was spent playing with lots of new toys while Keith, Ronnie and Craig worked on finishing the siding on the north end of the house by the kids bedrooms. Sunday again filled with more tractors for Andrew during a special birthday outing with Grandma and Grandpa where he managed to bring home another toy tractor :) While he was busy testing out the merchandise at Tractor Supply, Julia and I went to survey the progress at the new house. The three men made great progress on the siding today and finished all the plank on the west side of the house. Next weekend will be spent putting up the shake on the gable and moving to the next side of the house. Finally, we had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration at Lorraine and Bob's house, made even more wonderful because I didn't have to do a darn thing!
