That is great to hear about your Mom. Hopefully you have more luck getting her off the cancer sticks. That can be quite a challenge for someone at her point in life. Hopefully the ugly visit to the hospital will motivate her to stop.

I wanted a nice clean flat courtyard. It does look a bit void glitch like. Took me hours to clear out the trees and a couple hills, but generally it was a pretty flat area. Once I get the perimeter up, I'll probably go back and more gracefully terraform the hillcut. I have already started reforming the beach. Trying to add a little sandy beach front, but I have to go nab more sand. Between the glass and the little beach work I have already done, I am starting to run out.
