Over the River and Through the Woods....

Well the day finally came.....the day of a new bridge! We knew when we moved in 18 months ago, that a new bridge was in the near future. The bridge to our house is a charming little thing that never once scared me....even though it leaned, creaked, and rumbled under our tires. Our bridge being rebuilt had zero coorelation to the tragedy of the 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Our little gateway is only 2 car lengths long and one car length wide.....underneath lies 12 inches of slow moving current....Our neighbors, most of who are "weekenders" all gathered to lay the new boards...I even heard there was a ribbon cutting which I missed becase I was shopping! We all enjoyed a BBQ and bonfire afterwards. What a good job done!
