Weeding
Sherm is hereby awarded this GOLD STAR with twist-ties for taking on the thankless and Sisyphusian task of filling a giant bag with weeds and even removing said bag from the can.
Thanks Sherm, the yard breathes a sigh of relief and the dogs and I thank you for performing this good deed.

Those Little Things
Like going to the store to secure the ingredients for the scallops, like taking out the trash, emptying the dishwasher, and corresponding with my family. In other words Sherm gets a GOLD STAR with bits of little scraps of paper for doing all those little things, because they are greatly appreciated.

heroic faucet replacement
The last thing anybody wants to do on their day off is a difficult and frustrating plumbing task. Mr. Blog was called upon to do just this in the middle of a quiet Saturday. For his determined and steadfast doing of this onerous task, I award him GOLD STARS with a wreath of nuts and bolts and humbly thank him.

Costco Run
Mr. Blog receives a GOLD STAR with hot dog clusters for going to Costco alone, after work, when he didn't feel like it. I petered out due to painful messy sinus trouble. Thanks, dear.

irrigation
Mr. Blog received a belated GOLD STAR for irrigating La Ranchita the day after returning from our European vacation and an extremely long plane flight. That took a lot of willpower. We, the soil and I, appreciate it.

Another Swamp Cooler Running
GOLD STARS surround you, Mr. Blog. If you hadn't questioned the lack of cooling in the Casita, we might have had a much more expensive problem on our hands. Thanks to your can-do attitude, the swamp cooler is unplugged and cooling the Casita the way it oughta.
