Gardening Update
Our sister Cris surprised Paul for his birthday by visiting with us.
During her visit, she helped plant their first garden. Even though planted late, the harvest was great, yielding tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, peppers, zucchini and more. Wait until next year Adelina!
PINTO'S HAVE BANNER 1ST YEAR
First Year in Colorado Goes by Quickly for Dianna and Paul
"When you add landscaping and custom projects to your days, time flies by very quickly," said Dianna. "We are enjoying ourselves in Colorado to the fullest."
"Thanks to the help of many, we have completely covered the grounds with grass, trees, shrubs, colored exposed aggregate, concrete walkways and many tons of rock," Paul reported. "By far, my favorite project is the small mountain with its river and outdoor lighting."
Now, Dianna and Paul are concentrating on home improvements. They are reading many books on woodworking techniques and projects. Future projects will include peg boarding the garage and building cabinets and shelves. Paul wonders how could just two people have so much clutter? Dianna and Paul also hope to build a fence, built-in entertainment center, gazebo and finish the basement by themselves. They admit that things never turn out exactly the way that they want them to and often take too much time and money, but Paul seems to prefer homemade, lop-sided carpentry to professional work.
Dianna is very busy managing the family business. This year they have added a painting business as well. The past few years have brought unprecedented growth to Colorado and her business. Now, things seem to be slowing down, which will give her a little more time for herself.
Paul decided to join a hot, new software company called Versant. He has long been interested in advanced object data management. Paul had some time off from his last job and had a friend, Rick Ziganti, join him for a week of over indulgence in golf and beverage consumption. They played 45 holes per day, plus hitting buckets of golf balls. At the end of the week, Paul realized that he would have to seek employment at Versant, because a career with the PGA was not an option.
