Parking Lot Progress

The construction site near our office dried out a bit over the long holiday weekend and some more work got done on the parking lot today.

Curb Machine, Concrete, constructionLast week the curb machine was laying down long stretches of the curb around the parking lot.

Curb Corners, parking lotLast week before the rain this corner was unfinished, but had some forms up. Today you can see that it is fresh concrete. I am sure that I will someday park in this corner of the parking lot. I will have to remember to take a picture 🙂

Parking Lot, Dublin, CaliforniaHere you can see more of the curbs in the parking lot. I assume that these will be used for landscaping. I can picture rows of trees across the parking lot. In the distance you can see some of the storm drain material.

You can also see four big hoppers that are for the continued lime work that is being done to prep the ground for the foundation of the building.

Foundation, dirt work, lime, ground prepHere is the ground work that is being done where the building will be. The lime is being worked into the ground to stabilize it before they start driving the piles.

Retention pond, catchment basinThe retention basin is full of water after the rains. This will be a permanent feature at the site and I am sure that we will see it full of water in the rainy seasons. I am sure that there will be some good opportunities for some reflection pictures of the new building, especially when you see the reflection now from a building that is a block away.

Perhaps more rain tomorrow, but not much. Construction may be affected a little, but they can continue the ground prep as long as it is not raining too hard.

My Little Sister

My little sister has a birthday this week, so I thought I would find a few pictures of her to share.

Wedding, twins, wedding party, Missouri WeddingThis is not so easy as my little sister usually does not like to have her picture taken.

Here is a picture of her from her wedding two years ago. See: My Sister’s Wedding

You can see her twin daughters on the left side of this picture.

Nebraska Fan, Little sister, nebraska cornhuskers, all in redMy sister may not like it that I am posting this picture, but it is actually one of my favorite pictures of her.

I like it that she was a Nebraska Cornhusker’s fan at one time 🙂

Little sister, school picture, pigtailsThis is my favorite of her school pictures. She was so cute with her pigtails.

Hidding from picture, bus, sisterHere is another picture that I found. I found a few of them where she was avoiding a picture 🙂

ghost picture, picture overlay, double exposureI also found this double exposure picture. This is both my youngest brother and little sister. This picture brings back so many memories, as I know where each of them were taken.

OK, kind of a wandering post, but I have also been fighting a slow computer tonight and just need to get this posted 🙂

Happy Birthday Sis!
