What I Did On My Summer Vacation

July 11, 2006 By Carole

I’ve been knitting and spinning and relaxing. But Dale? Poor Dale.

    What the heck is he doing??

    Holy mackerel, what is that!? I could totally imagine my mom and dad having parallel vacations to yours. Glad you get to knit and relax!

  3. Cheryl says

    July 11, 2006 at 7:42 am

    Yikes! Seems like he needs to be going at that with something a little bigger than that shovel. Like maybe a backhoe.

  4. Chris says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:02 am

    Sorry, Dale, all I could do was laugh at that picture. In my head, I see Carole sitting with her knittin’, sippin’ ‘tinis and calling helpful things like “lift with your legs, dear.”

  5. Laurie says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:06 am

    That looks fairly Sisyphysean.

  6. margene says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:11 am

    It’s good for him;-)
    Enjoy your lemon martini and knitting while you sit in the shade, m’lady.

  7. Vicki says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:22 am

    Heheheh, is he making a mountain out of a mole hill, or the other way around? I’m sure you’re giving him good direction. ; )

  8. Rachel H says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:25 am

    I had something to say, really, but then got completely distracted by ‘Sisyphysean’. Damn that’s fun to say…

  9. Jess says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:36 am

    Wow. That’s a big pile.

  10. dale says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:48 am

    180yards of special playground mulch, nothing to it! I was done by noon…the pile wasn’t done of course, but I was…

  11. elizabeth says

    July 11, 2006 at 8:50 am

    My that is a large pile of dirt! Is he responding to the manly urge to move a mountain or dig a really big hole?

  12. Lucia says

    July 11, 2006 at 9:41 am

    What can I say after Laurie has found the perfect word? Sisyphean, indeed.

  13. SpiderWomanKnits says

    July 11, 2006 at 9:44 am

    Oh my.That is a really big pile! I should have sent my little guy over to help he can dig and transfer and shovel all day 🙂

  14. christine says

    July 11, 2006 at 9:49 am

    Wow, he really is superman!

  15. Martha says

    July 11, 2006 at 9:52 am

    Wow. That’s a lot of mulch. Good job, Dale!

  16. Angelia says

    July 11, 2006 at 10:34 am

    Poor Dale! I imagine all that hard work’s for a good cause, though.

  17. ann says

    July 11, 2006 at 10:58 am

    poor Dale —- and is he using a snow shovel ferchristsake?

  18. Snow says

    July 11, 2006 at 11:11 am

    Yikes. That’s a lot of hard work. Time to sit down and drink a nice, cold beer.

  19. Karen says

    July 11, 2006 at 11:46 am

    Wow. Does he have to move all that mulch? If so, Yikes.

  20. Birdsong says

    July 11, 2006 at 12:35 pm

    What the heck have you done to the poor fellow? Are you planting your very own city-park-sized garden?

  21. Ruth says

    July 11, 2006 at 1:08 pm

    “180 yards of playground mulch,” he says casually. “No problem.”

    That’s a good guy you got there, Carole.

  22. Norma says

    July 11, 2006 at 1:12 pm

    What the HELL?! Hee. Keep shoveling, Dale!

  23. Kathy says

    July 11, 2006 at 1:13 pm

    Oh no! New playground? Dale rocks.

  24. Beth S. says

    July 11, 2006 at 1:59 pm

    Please tell us there’s a battalion of guys with shovels on the other side of Mulch Mountain there…

  25. Lolly says

    July 11, 2006 at 2:02 pm

    Oh my!! what a mound! He deserves a little shoulder massage 🙂

  26. Stephanie says

    July 11, 2006 at 2:03 pm

    Wow. You have it all figured out. Can I send Travis out for training?

  27. Kat says

    July 11, 2006 at 5:06 pm

    Is he practicing for the upcoming winter?

  28. stephanie says

    July 11, 2006 at 6:01 pm

    I fear to ask how far he has to move it.
    (I hope you got frosty beer in the fridge.)

  29. claudia says

    July 11, 2006 at 10:06 pm

    I’m pretty sure they outlawed chain gangs.

    This photo represents how I feel just about every day! (Only maybe it’s not mulch I’m dealing with.) 🙂
