Flat Tires & Giant Shrubs

 
The day started out with a flat tire. I would have been really disgusted, but the old Caddy needed new tires anyway, so this was the push we needed to get it done. Terry put on the spare, and off we went to the local Belle Tire.

 
It took an hour, so we took off walking down Vandyke toward Nine Mile.

 
Ended up at Stosh's Pizza...

 
Bought a couple slices and sat on the patio. It was such a beautiful day, we actually ended up having some fun. The pizza was awful, but the company was fine.

 
Here's our new "ten year" picture.

 
There she is, back home, safe and sound...

 
With four brand new tires.

 
After the car fun, we went over to the old/old house and did some yard work. Closing isn't for a couple of weeks, so we still have to keep up the old shack.

 
And this was my main mission, as this giant Dappled Willow gets out of control real quick.
 
Gardening Note: Never plant a Dappled Willow unless you enjoy constant trimming, or unless you plan to put it in a very spacious area. It is a beautiful and fast growing shrub, and I would have one again, but only in a really big empty spot.

 
The old home is looking good again.
 
So ready for closing !!!
