Gold Starred Review

Sherm is awarded this GOLD STAR with quills for her diligent and careful work on LITTLE BLUE TRUCK, which itself earned a STARRED REVIEW from Publisher's Weekly. Excellent job Sherm, and I am glad that folks are beginning to take notice!

Water Manager

Mr. Blog is awarded a GOLD STAR for irrigating yesterday: opening that very tough (it needs to be oiled) ditch gate and closing it too. Also for dumping water on the roses in the back. That was my job and I forgot to do it. :( Thanks, Water Manager!

Vehicle Maintenance

Sherm is awarded this GOLD STAR with oil filters for (a) taking Biscuits and Gravy for her oil change and (b) taking her to the car wash for a total once-over. Biscuits looks great and is good for another 100,000 miles!

Beer Hunter-Gatherer

Sherm is awarded this GOLD STAR with bottlecap festoons for dutifully shopping for and bringing home intact BEER on several occasions. I really appreciate it, Honey!

Preternaturally Productive

Mr. Blog spent the weekend taking care of stuff. First, he went to Home Depot to get the necessary tools and equipment. Then he put together the soil aerating device, aerated the soil, bolted the top cross-piece to the posts of the courtyard entry gate, bolted the Nutglade sign to the Tuff Shed, vacuumed, and .... am I leaving anything out? For all this and a jolly rogering besides he gets a GOLD STAR. He should be getting seven gold stars I suppose, but I'm too lazy to write seven entries. Which is why I don't get a gold star. Cheers, Mr. Blog!
