We going to do this, Little One?”
“Sure, why not?”
“Okay, Lucy. I guess we need to lay out the field.”
“The field? What do you mean?”
“You know. Get the lime. Layout the boundaries. Set the goals.”
“Oh, blech. Can we just skip all that?”
“We can, but it won’t be much of a game.”
“My point exactly. Patio, here we come.”
“Lucy. What’s that ladder thing at the neighbors?’
“I don’t know. They are noisy, though.”
“You can say that again. What’s that rumble?”
“I think they are using a jackhammer on something.”
“A little of that goes a long way.”
“Can you say annoying?”
“Wait. Did it stop?”
“I think. you are right.”
“And there it goes again.”
“I have to believe they are going to be here all day.”
“Not sure I can handle this.”
“I know I can’t. I’m going to a quiet place.”
“Not much quiet over here either. I’m heading back to the patio. At least there is sun there.”
“I guess you are right. Little One.”
“Well, it’s not perfect. I guess it is better than nothing.”
“Now you’re talking. I love optimism.”
“Yeah. It starts and stops, so I guess we can put up with it.”
“Dibs on this lounge. Gotta get some serious shut-eye. Send the server over if you can catch his eye.”

Those girls certainly keep the server on his toes, lols. Hope the disruptive noise doesn’t go on too long, John 🙂

Great dialogue, John. I wonder who the server might be? I love how they walk on the stone steps. Is that because the rocks are harsh on their paws or they just following in their mom and pops’ footsteps? 😊

They do the stonesbut when on the path Twiggy and Lucy make sure they hit the steps. (I don’t know why) It might be fun for them. Thanks. Gwen.

It looks like they are taking out a set of concrete stairs in the back. I think maybe they needed replacing. The houses over thirty years old.
