General > DIY Projects
In June 2014 I took a week of vacation and was planning a trip to Ky to see the folks. Then someone shot the cat (again) and he could not travel so we decided to spend the week of vacation at home. Laurie has built a couple of garden ponds in her lifetime and I knew she wanted one.
