A Tale of Two Curbs

My street finally came up for construction this past June. Before then, I would scan the township's monthly newsletter like Scartlett and Melanie scanning the list of civl war injured and dead in Gone With The Wind. 
Soon enough white arrows appeared in front of everybody's house marking what would be replaced and what would be left. Luckily as the dreaded construction began, I had access to my driveway and garage. (At least a small sliver of it, but that was all I needed. The blessing of living on a cul-de-sac, for once. 
I am deeply skeptical that this curb reconstruction was needed. I've included before and after pictures below.
Today I am grateful for my curb being "finished" and that at least that part of my life returns to normal.
​Today I can give from my heart the gift of gratitude.
