Only on Guam

A message on the walk.

There is a saying here that is said quite often to explain things so unusual or out of the ordinary that it can only happen in one place, here. "Only On Guam" or OOG. One of these out of the ordinary things is mold, black mold. It grows everywhere and whats worse is the sun bakes it into place.
My story today is about sweeping or in our case the lack of the need to sweep. Because the dirt/mold doesn't go away. So, what do we do you ask? Power wash! Thank goodness for power tools and self help! I checked out a power washer and spent an entire day spraying the patio, drive and walkway to the front door and some of the house. After hours of holding the end of what felt like a fire hose my arms ached, back hurt and I was exhausted.

Never fear, my husband was near at the end of the day and rescued me from the dirty deed. I cooled off in the house while he washed the eaves of the roof and the front walk along our house. When I went out to keep him company I found a message "washed"  into the walk... OOG with love. :-) As I looked at the message it reminded me of a chalkboard, but it was so cleaver of him. He worked long into the dark hours of evening to get the walk completed.
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it! For now, we have a clean sidewalk, drive and house!
