Cinnamon Rolls to the rescue!

When I finished with breakfast, emails and the NASCAR race I was watching this morning, I went looking for Vera.  I finally found her  out working on the ditch.  We finished digging it, prepared the drain lines, put them in and checked that they had a slope with the level.  Then we started covering it up, only to run out of gravel, so it was off to Swanson's again.  But before we left, we mixed up 3 bags of cement and leveled the cracks in the patio.  At Swanson's, we got a half a yard of pea gravel, stopped at Dairy Queen for a late lunch and got gas before heading home.  We finished filling the ditch, by then the cement was pretty well set up, so we started laying the pavers.  We did a double row along the North and East sides and it went pretty good until the last couple for the day.  The tiles just would not go down over their clips!  About then, Harper, Ava, Steve and Dianne showed up with fresh cinnamon rolls.  We showed them what we had been doing and the girls tested the pavers a little.  After they left, the cinnamon rolls only lasted about a minute, but they provided a burst of energy that helped me finish the last two pavers.
