And the Winner is...

Do you like winning things? I do. It doesn’t happen very often. Probably because I don’t enter many competitions. Well just recently Mr. & Mrs. Remodel won a contest. Well, it wasn’t really a proper contest, and it wasn’t us, it was our driveway.
Our community’s HOA board went walkabout around the neighbourhood and our driveway was voted the worse one! The result? A new driveway to be laid as soon as we stop having trailers and heavy lorries sitting on it.


In accepting this award, I’d just like to thank everyone who made it possible. The former owners who parked their oil-dripping vehicles on the driveway, not to mention other undefined stains; for the area’s moveable soils that often causes concrete to rise up and crack; for the other residents in the community who paid their monthly dues allowing there to be money in the kitty to hire men and buy concrete to fix an ugly eyesore; and lastly to Mr. Remodel and myself for having the courage and insight to accept this driveway into our lives believing that one day it would be beautiful. Thank you.
