Out with the old, and in with the new!

Remember these little babies?



Well, in the last six months, they've been joined by another friend:



But rejoice with me, folks, because today all FOUR went out with the trash! Well, one
was sold for a whopping $10. But the most important fact is, they're gone!!! History. Adios.

And they've been replaced by this little machine - brand, spankin' new from the store.
It's a happy day in the life of Ruth.


PS: This whole "being unable to fix a lawnmower" fiasco has been quite damaging to Kevin's self-esteem. So be kind to him. Don't rub it in his face. Besides, I kind of already have.

PSS: The only reason I've cared so much about a decent lawnmower is because I'm the one who mows the lawn. That, and I'm not really fond of the white-trash look of four mowers sitting in my yard.

PSSS: You should see the looks we get around the neighborhood, as Kevin sits and watches his pregnant wife mow the lawn. It's pretty funny. But it's by choice, I promise. It's my favorite chore - other than washing the car.

If I had a lawn I, too, would be the one out mowing. Not that Brian wouldn't, he's just not home and I actually enjoy the task. Better than scrubbing toilets!!

Ruthy - I am also a lawn mower! Hooray! It is so fulfilling.
I am loving the old lawn mower thing. It reminds me of mowing grandpa's enormous lawn (now, my enormous lawn)all growing up with a mower that was rigged together with a hanger! Gotta Love It! Brings back wonderful memories of happiness and misery! HaHa!
