He decided that I needed something on the driveway side that was "of interest" in the winter because everything else died down then. He said that he noticed that we had a stone wall behind the deck and wondered if he could use one or two of them.
Paul told him the story of those stones. Years ago, when we would go on a ride, we would bring home a rock and Paul built a stone wall with them. Each rock was numbered on the bottom and he kept track in a book where each rock came from. In fact, one time one of Mark's friends was at the house and they got talking about the rocks. Knowing Paul, his friend (I can't remember who it was but I think it was Mark Severino) said, "He probably has them all numbered." Mark said, "Actually he does." They got quite a laugh out of that.
Joel also said that he saw some pavers (from our neighbor Judy when she re-landscaped her yard) under our deck when he was getting the rocks and he wondered if we would like him to make a border with them on the driveway side. We said that we would love it.
Well, while Joel was taking one of those rocks out of the wall and hosing it down, we were backing down the driveway leaving to do an errand, and Joel yelled down the driveway, "Number 124." Too funny.
Later that evening when we got home, we saw that he had not only done the rocks, but also the paver edge. I sent him a text to thank him.
We both thought it was hysterical about rock 107 and 124, and the 3rd rock that wasn't numbered!
PS The next day I took a picture of what he did. Doesn't it look nice? Joel's the best!
