You have been one of the greatest gifts of my life. You have done more and seen more than most other dogs.

You were the perfect travel companion.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span face="-apple-system-font"> </span></span> One of your favorite places was the airport. You would prance through it like you owned it. You were so happy. You would jump on and off the escalators like a pro. Everyone would look at you and smile when you would walk on the plane and get your spot under the seat. You knew exactly what to do. You would wait for me to put your blanket down, then you would get on it and sleep until we landed. You were the most amazing little guy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> You loved riding the elevators in the hotels, you loved traveling with me and my knee was your pillow in the car. I can't tell you how much I miss you being there..</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">. I loved taking you to the beach. You loved it. You were so cute. You would play at the waters edge, get all wet, then rub all over in the sand.

The vet told us we needed to make some tough decisions over a year and a half ago. We weren't ready to let you go, and you weren't ready to go.

It hurts my heart so much. <p></p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn't get you up this morning to go out, then when I did, you made it to the front door before you fell. I helped you back up and walked you to the grass. You immediately fell and just stayed there.</p><p> It broke my heart to see you like that . It was at that moment that we knew it was time to help you cross over the rainbow bridge.</p><p> I have never had to make this kind of decision and Don and I both have been torn for awhile as to what to do. We have spent a lot of time praying about this This morning we knew it was time to take away your pain.</p><p> We decided to spend a couple days with you doing all the things you love. We wanted to take you to the beach, your favorite place to be is in the water. t there. We wanted to gt you Dairy Queen ice cream and then drive around so you could feel the wind in your face one more time. We wanted to take you swimming in the pool with your water frisbees. God, how you loved to play water frisbee. We wanted to go to the different parks you loved and play with your red frisbees. We wanted to play basketball, your new favorite game, thanks to Amelia and Gianna. They love you so much. </p><p>But we got up this morning and knew we couldn't let you stay any longer. We did get you McDonalds cheeseburgers this morning. 10 of them. You gobbled down the all 10 of those things.</p><p> We had Jaxson come see you. He is without doubt your favorite person of all. You slept under your dads side of the bed your entire life except when Jaxson was here. You slept beside Jaxson every night he was here. You never left his side. I think some of your happiest moments were when he walked in the door. You would become so excited to see him. You were such a worry wart when he was in the pool. You stayed right there with him. He is so sad to say goodbye but he doesn't want you to suffer either.</p><p> Sulli used to be afraid of you but she loves you also. She will miss you as so many others will also. You make friends everywhere you go, never meeting a stranger. </p><p>Your two brothers, Sammy and Cody are going to be lost without you. You are Cody's tug of war buddy. You two use to drive me nuts because every time your dad walked in the door from work, you and Cody would start your tug of war game every single night. Cody would get so loud growling at you and you always let Cody win. You were such an awesome big brother, </p><p>Sammy was boss and you knew not to cross him. Not sure why but you just wouldn't. You somehow knew not to mess with him. But I also knew Sammy was safe if he was in your care. You watched out for them both. They won't understand when you don't come home and I know they will feel this loss also. </p><p>A few things that we are dearly going to miss is first the love in your eyes when you would look at us. You were our sweet, gentle monster. We will miss your inside bark. Your letting us know when you wanted to play frisbee, swim and go greet the ups lady. You had her had an understanding. She would stop just to say hi to you and you always wanted to get in her truck and go for a ride We will miss you in the back seat of the truck. You loved going anywhere. You loved traveling and meeting new people. Especially kids. oh how you loved all the kids. And they loved you back. You loved going to Indianan and visiting everyone. You especially loved Jo and Rogers farm. One of your favorite places to be. Your other favorite place to be was Laci and Johnnys house. You loved the thought of someday possibly catching a kitty cat there. lol </p><p>You really didnt care where you were as long as you were with us. </p><p>While you will be missed by many, your dad and I aren't sure how we are going to handle this. I am worried about your dad. You and him had such a special relationship. He drove us all to the parks almost every night between 9 and 10 pm. Why so late? So you boys could be dogs off leash and just go sniff and run without restraints. He doctored you with such care when you needed it. He would let you in the pool in the evening knowing if you got wet, even blow drying you, we couldn't get you completely dry and on all those nights you always curled up on the foot of the bed and slept with us. That's the only time you slept on the bed. I thought the floor must make you cold but I put down a king size thick comforter that became yours but you wouldn't sleep on it if you had been in the pool. Nope you slept with us. </p><p>You had your dad trained extra well. At night, if you shook your collar, your dad was out of bed almost immediately. He knew you needed him. He was up all hours with you, doctoring you, giving you ice packs, and just lying in the floor with you at all hours. I woke so many times to find him lying in the floor with you, loving on you. This is going to be so hard on him. He is losing his best friend today. </p><p>And so am I. You were my baby that grew to be my beautiful monster. You followed me everywhere. I cooked your dinner almost every night and you knew when it was 5 o clock. Time for me to start cooking. You would wait very patiently for your food while your little brothers weren't so patient. They would sit and cry and bark for me to hurry up. I am sure they annoyed you but you just ignored it. We are going to miss so many things with you no longer here. I am going to miss just trying to get in the door because you were always there to greet us. How I'm gong to miss you.</p><p>We feel like our hearts are being ripped out right now. It hurts so much but we have to do this for you. We love you our big beautiful gorgeous monster. We can't wait to see you again. </p><p> Forever in our hearts, </p><p>Loving you always, </p><p>Mom, dad, Sammy, Cody, Jaxson and so many others. </p><p>Have fun running abd playing frisbee and basketball. We'll see you soon, buddy. ❤❤❤</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p>Life according to Lenettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12393022066759499171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235186421042734029.post-73733630589211981632018-01-22T15:53:00.000-06:002018-01-22T19:44:03.006-06:001st House Flip<div style="text-align: center;">

It was a Miami phone number so he wasn't going to answer it as he didn't know the number. I told him I thought it was Carnival Cruise Lines so he answered it. They told us they were trying to fill the ship and we could take a <b>free 4 day cruise to Cozumel on the Liberty ship</b>,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i></i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>but it would leave on Thursday. OK! </i></span><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">That gave me one day to pack, get boys taken care of, (Thank you Sally, Dennis and Kate) and a million other little things that had to be taken care of before we could leave. All we would have to pay was 50.00 each for port taxes. I knew it was Carnival but Don was still leary so I suggested he get him to send us an email proving he was with Carnival. He did, so we were in.</span></span></i><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Next we got a phone call the next day, saying we would not be going to Cozumel, as the ship engines were running slow so we would be going to Progresso instead. Apparently they had let everyone else know that and a lot of people that were going to Cozumel decided not to go so they were trying to fill the ship. We met several other people that also received free trips.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>But hey, still a free trip to Mexico!!!</i></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">We put wood floors upstairs in the man-cave, </span><br /><a href="http://lenettacarnes.blogspot.com/2015/10/new-wood-floors.html#more">click here to see</a> <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">,</span> </b><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">so we didn't want to use the weights for exercising in there anymore. I decided we should make one of the bedrooms our exercise room. Since Don did not want to get rid of the </span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">king size bed, </span><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><i>(his thought was to just lean it up </i></b></span><span style="color: #783f04; font-weight: bold;"><i>against the wall), </i></span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">I suggested we frame it in where we could put it up but still have it when needed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;">I had no idea how much work this would end up being. When I suggested it to Don, he said, sure we can just make it real simple. </span></b></span><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><i>(Guess he forgot who he was talking too :) )</i></b></span> <span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;"><b>I suggested putting shelves on both sides so we wouldn't need side tables and to add a charging station for our phones and computers on each side. Done!!! So a lot more work but well worth it in the end. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>***</i></b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #783f04;">Now that the bed is finished, I suggested we build out on both sides, add doors and deep shelves to put all my extra blankets, comforters, sheets and pillows. It would then look like a wall all the way across. He likes the idea so we will be doing that sometime in the future. </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></b></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;"><b>After Don figured all the measurements and what we would need we headed to Home Depot to get the materials. We got most everything so we could get started.</b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">First thing Don did when we got back was figure out all the measurements that needed to be cut. He is awesome when it comes time to figure measurements.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYuEtop5BCw/ViMYfPvDC0I/AAAAAAAAseA/jAoGVC7vEu8/s1600/measureCollage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYuEtop5BCw/ViMYfPvDC0I/AAAAAAAAseA/jAoGVC7vEu8/s640/measureCollage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">I got busy and sanded all 6 pieces of plywood down on both sides, blew the dust off and wiped it down with Tack Cloth. I then painted all pieces with a white primer</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5cyRI15gwTo/Via5r4Twr8I/AAAAAAAAsgk/W2k5B_LGgSo/s1600/sandedCollage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5cyRI15gwTo/Via5r4Twr8I/AAAAAAAAsgk/W2k5B_LGgSo/s640/sandedCollage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Don then started measuring and cutting the boards. It takes a lot of board cuts</span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QTXpMzcxKbo/Via5s5vxXwI/AAAAAAAAsgw/GcsK0tB0oe8/s1600/dn%2BcuttungCollage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QTXpMzcxKbo/Via5s5vxXwI/AAAAAAAAsgw/GcsK0tB0oe8/s640/dn%2BcuttungCollage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Our main screws and glue. We used well over 200 of these nails and an entire bottle of this glue. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ixsrv8KWBoU/Vi4uAPkYPRI/AAAAAAAAsmw/3nLHJWJaUTA/s1600/bed1Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ixsrv8KWBoU/Vi4uAPkYPRI/AAAAAAAAsmw/3nLHJWJaUTA/s640/bed1Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Wed started with building the towers for the shelves.We glued and nailed them, then clamped them overnight. I ironed on the strips for the edges. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9FY5TiY8rS8/Vi4t-cPzvII/AAAAAAAAsmM/c8fJOdGj5g8/s1600/Bed2Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9FY5TiY8rS8/Vi4t-cPzvII/AAAAAAAAsmM/c8fJOdGj5g8/s640/Bed2Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Next Don cut the boards for the bottom that the mattress sits on. He had a little helper. We held it together with dowels and glue.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DPaY_fFteYY/Vi4t-XfESZI/AAAAAAAAsmU/0DucYbCcQAQ/s1600/Bed3Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DPaY_fFteYY/Vi4t-XfESZI/AAAAAAAAsmU/0DucYbCcQAQ/s640/Bed3Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Clamped it overnight. Next came the sides.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mk96oIT0Qis/Vi4t-dAp_7I/AAAAAAAAsmQ/HJZpPUIiXRw/s1600/Bed4Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mk96oIT0Qis/Vi4t-dAp_7I/AAAAAAAAsmQ/HJZpPUIiXRw/s640/Bed4Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">We added a strip all the way down the middle. We glued it and screwed it down. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Krh93x8kl5c/Vk9EOCTf32I/AAAAAAAAsnc/KX8-Y_bL0Yw/s1600/bed%2Bf2Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Krh93x8kl5c/Vk9EOCTf32I/AAAAAAAAsnc/KX8-Y_bL0Yw/s640/bed%2Bf2Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">I painted all the shelf inserts and we finished the shelves</span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBkr7FJU8zc/Vi4t_snB7GI/AAAAAAAAsmk/WcaJ64n-sHo/s1600/Bed6Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBkr7FJU8zc/Vi4t_snB7GI/AAAAAAAAsmk/WcaJ64n-sHo/s640/Bed6Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Don added two of these straps. They go under the top and bottom of the mattress when not in use. They hold our mattress and blankets or pillows on the bed. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_QWnQkrphs/Vi4v3uGfYmI/AAAAAAAAsnA/qK05x2DyqhI/s1600/Bed7Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_QWnQkrphs/Vi4v3uGfYmI/AAAAAAAAsnA/qK05x2DyqhI/s640/Bed7Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">After finishing the sides, Don drilled holes to lock the bed in place</span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c4wczpLuWBc/Vk9EP67KXsI/AAAAAAAAsno/v5HGoZ5OsDI/s1600/bed%2Bf3Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-c4wczpLuWBc/Vk9EP67KXsI/AAAAAAAAsno/v5HGoZ5OsDI/s640/bed%2Bf3Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Added a brace across the top for stabilty</span><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cjeUAK1TBKI/Vk9ETA2H7rI/AAAAAAAAsoE/3o_hmnEqTjo/s1600/bed%2Bf5Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cjeUAK1TBKI/Vk9ETA2H7rI/AAAAAAAAsoE/3o_hmnEqTjo/s640/bed%2Bf5Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Put the hardware on to make the bed go up and down, then Don braced the towers to the wall so it could never be pulled over. We added the straps to hold the mattress in place when it was up. This is a 9 inch high density foam mattress and very heavy, but very comforable.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ijvnK7SJ3l0/Vk9ETYmUZbI/AAAAAAAAsoQ/5l8blafhWmY/s1600/bed%2Bf6Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ijvnK7SJ3l0/Vk9ETYmUZbI/AAAAAAAAsoQ/5l8blafhWmY/s640/bed%2Bf6Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Don used piano hinges for the legs. He has two on there but he thinks he may add one more. We cut the trim and put it up. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">When it opens, the legs fall down, and when closed they close up. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y273FC8YqRI/Vk9ETZhcEII/AAAAAAAAsoM/eDp1U9pCQ5w/s1600/bed%2Bf8Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y273FC8YqRI/Vk9ETZhcEII/AAAAAAAAsoM/eDp1U9pCQ5w/s640/bed%2Bf8Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">We added this headboard that is removable but allows for the pillows to stay on the bed when you are trying to sleep. When ready to put bed up, slide headboard out and set against back wall. Add pillows in the space below and up it goes. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZPM0azzC5I/Vk9Kq0pqPEI/AAAAAAAAsok/hRVa4q0VQ1c/s1600/bed%2Bf11Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZPM0azzC5I/Vk9Kq0pqPEI/AAAAAAAAsok/hRVa4q0VQ1c/s640/bed%2Bf11Collage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">I decided since this was going to be our workout room, I would use the outside of the bed with a calendar, chalkboard and cork board. I was going to paint the chalkboard at the top but decided it needed to be on the bottom so Jaxson would be able to draw and play on it. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aaW3WfXjYSs/Vk9EUSLwvqI/AAAAAAAAsoU/bT8i0ssD3e4/s1600/bed%2Bf9ollage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aaW3WfXjYSs/Vk9EUSLwvqI/AAAAAAAAsoU/bT8i0ssD3e4/s640/bed%2Bf9ollage.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Here are the shelves, we added a picture. </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">We thought about putting a tv there and just </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">turn around on the bed to watch it but decided </span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">we would need the tv to play our cds for exercising. So the tv goes on the opposite wall of the bed. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNAq8o_2Q30/Vk9O-gpiWDI/AAAAAAAAsos/3W2OGoJOxKs/s1600/bed%2Bf12Collage.jpg" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNAq8o_2Q30/Vk9O-gpiWDI/AAAAAAAAsos/3W2OGoJOxKs/s640/bed%2Bf12Collage.jpg" /></a></span><br />

We also used metal rods to slide in to hold the bed up. ) </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Just so many many steps. This was a bear to make but the final results were worth it. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">If you have any questions, we will try to answer them.

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I have seen these posted all over Facebook, mostly by <b>BBQ Pit Boys</b>. I thought they looked so good, I just had to try to make them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">They are a little more work than just rolling up some ground meat </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">and patting them into a patty, but well worth it. Don loved them and I thought they were very good, just needed a little salt and pepper which I didn't add any. Both the boys loved them. They got to split one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">You can stuff these with anything you want. I will definitely be making these again. I want to try a veggie stuffed burger and I think they would be great with mashed potatoes and hominy in them. Yum! The whole meal in a burger. Nice!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The only problem I had was <b>BBQ Pit Boys</b> said 300 degrees for an hour on indirect heat. Maybe because his grill was a small one and mine was much larger, Not sure why it took mine so much longer to cook but they were worth the wait. I will be turning my heat up to 375 next time and see how that works. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Over all these were very tasty. Can't wait to make them again. Going to also make them smaller so they can actually fit on a bun if I need them to. I used 9 oz in each burger. May try 6 or 7 oz if the beer can will fit in them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Try them! You will love them!</span></div>

It's easy if I want to go a little lighter or darker. You can change your color anytime you like. You can cancel any month you don't feel you need or want it. They send you an email every month in case you need to change or add anything. I don't use their shampoo but I do love their conditioner. </b></span></span><br />

WOW!<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><span id="goog_1163225194"></span><span id="goog_1163225195"></span>I thought my bamboo had really slowed down so I fertilized it again , (I fertilized it once last year and it really took off)and waited. I used out of the same bag I had from last year. Nothing seemed to be happening. Don thought maybe the bag had gone bad so I got a new bag and fertilized it again. At the time we left on our vacation, I was a little disappointed that it happened taken off again .</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>WOW!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">When we got back from our two week vacation, I was shocked. My blue bamboo grew to a shocking height while we were gone. Don thinks the tree is 25 to 30 feet tall and my bamboo is almost at the top of it.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">I am amazed by all the new growth. We will have complete privacy by next summer. You will never know there are 3 houses on the other side of this. That was the reason I planted this bamboo in the first place. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">Here is what it looked liked when I first planted the bamboo. Loved the house but not the lack of privacy in our pool area. Needed something that would grow really tall so I chose bamboo. Not only does it get really tall, but it also grows extremely fast. Love it! </span><div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">there. Blue bamboo is the fastest growing bamboo there is. Noah would approve of its height. He always wanted to be at the very top of anything he was on. I miss him so much. </span></div>
