OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

The last time I was aware of time was in April......now it is the end of May!  Where did May go?  Did the sun shine?  Did it rain?  Was it warm?  I have no idea.  Things have moved so fast at school and at home that May has become just a blur in time.  Having several teeth that decided to malfunction did not help matters.  Some of the new pain medication will definitely send a patient to "la la land".  And why is it that whenever a tooth decides to hurt it is always on a weekend????  Nevertheless, as I look back over my May pictures I see that life was going on as usual.

 After several months of working day and night, Papa T, Meme T and Big A are finally ready to open their car repair shop.

 Big A and Papa G getting one of the lifts in place.

 Now it's time to paint!

 Big A painting all the high parts.  Hmmm....a couple of strong vines and Big A could swing from the rafters like Tarzan!  Wheeeeee!

 Papa G pressure washing the floors -- before the walls were painted.  They were very "nasty" looking!

 Big A securing "something".  Could it be a rope or a vine??

 JR. putting a coat of paint on some stools that will be used in the shop.  That's Wee Bob "working" in the background.

 Wee Bob is fixing "something" to take to the shop.

 Meanwhile, amid all the May madness, Pooh is hard at work learning the "ins and outs" of her new job.

 And YES, there was a Mother's Day in May.  I remember now!  We ate fried chicken, baked beans, strawberry short cake, and mashed potatoes with gravy. We drank ice tea and munched on green beans!   (Not necessarily in that order.)  May is slowly coming back to me now.  Warm, sunny days.....cool "open window" nights.   

 And sometime during the month of May, on a sunny, hot day, Wee Bob found time to swim with his friend.  

JR figured I needed some better luck so he brought me a 4-leaf clover he found

 Back at the shop......What an improvement!  The shop is painted and the picnic table is in place.  According to JR, all shops need a picnic table so that people can share munchies and "shoot the bull"!

The trees and vines are in place -- Whoops!  I mean lifts and wires!  Everyone is checking out the shop to see what remains to be done.

 Big A giving his opinion on "something".  I sure do have a lot of "somethings" in this post.   Most likely it is because I was aware that "something" was going on but I was not aware of what it was.  I could go on and on about what these "somethings" are but that would be fruitless.   For the most part, May, 2014, will forever remain a blurry mystery!!

 The office desk is in place.  The computers are up and running.  Tarzan is the new bookkeeper!  I mean Big A!  I mean.......Oh, never mind......Get ready, set.....GO!

And here it is!  Cumberland Mountain Automotive is now officially open for business!!
