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.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful father and husband! He certainly has done his job to earn his keep this year, hasn't he?! He had several Father's Day celebrations this year including, "Donuts for Dads" at Julia and Andrew's school, and a family party complete with apple pie made with the kiddos.

This weekend was mostly dedicated to digging the trench, laying the pipe, and covering up the pipe for the geothermal heating/cooling in our house. Because we are using wood and Marmoleum (linoleum), and neither can be installed if the humidity in the house is out of whack, this is our top priority right now. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks after a visit from our HVAC guy and electrician, it will be up and running. Despite the heat, the install went fairly well this weekend. However, the backhoe operator (not my husband) hit our siding near the end of the digging on Friday. So Keith and Craig needed to repair three boards this weekend. Lucky for us, we had exactly that many boards left over in the basement! The backhoe operator and the company were very sorry and helpful, so I knew it would be fine in the end. That being said, wasn't it just last week that I was publicly celebrating the end of the siding project for Keith? Hmmm, maybe I need to watch what I say on this blog :)

Ronnie and Craig also worked on touching up the primer in the house where the drywallers had made some touch-ups this week. If all goes well, color will start going on the walls next weekend!
