Top of the Blog: BOYS FIRST TIME got to work early and wasn't surprised that Ray was already there. It was nice the finally me him and together we took a tour of the property as I showed him what we'd done in his absence. He was very impressed with how the garden had been maintained, but did point out a few little things I had overlooked. When I took him up around the landscaping we did around Ellen's fountain and gazebo he was full of praise. His compliments on my work in the garden meant more to me than anyone but Ellen's own kind words. I wanted to sit down with him and pick his brain all day but shortly after we got back to the work shed we were interrupted.
