Every day the pooch gets a walk and for many years now we have walked past a certain house.
A certain, modest brick ranch that isn't terribly well tended.
A certain house that could use a dose of TLC.
This certain house did posses an enviable piece of concrete statuary however.
For many years I have pined for this piece of concrete.
Then a few weeks ago the lusted for piece of concrete fell over. And there it lay. Neglected and on it's side.
Action had to be taken.
So I wrote a kind note offering to adopt (for a reasonable fee) said piece of concrete.
Days passed and there it was. So close yet so far.
But today I was allowed to rescue my concrete. Such a sigh of relief.
awww..I like this lil story!! So fun! Hooray for it's happy new home!!
Happy Summer!

How lucky you are. I'm so happy for you. Now, it will be taken care of.
It's found a new home and it looks very happy.
