Got hubby a new pair of pac boots from Cabelas, mom some wicked good shearling slippers from L.L. Bean, and my m-i-l a 5-pack of bibliophile socks (she’s a librarian) from John’s Crazy Socks. John has Down Syndrome, so his dad helps him out with running the business. You get what you order, lickety split. […]

Lovely Thanksgiving, and Working on the Farm on “Black Friday”
Posted in Uncategorized on November 23, 2018 | Leave a Comment »
Mom didn’t once complain yesterday, ate a little of everything we catered, and kept most of the leftovers. All was good, except for us having to drive home into the sunset, with the sun glare on a 65mph highway for half of it. Today is a work day on the farm, despite the 20F high. […]
Happy Thanksgiving

Made the pumpkin pie and cran-apple sauce earlier this week. The bird’s been in the oven for a little over an hour. Still need to make the scalloped potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and sweet potato mash with butter and brown sugar, but the side dishes are half cooked and assembled, ready for a half hour bake. […]
First Snow

This sucks, a little. I was supposed to have my favorite roofing/construction contractor send over a guy around noon to re-caulk a leaky skylight. When I talked to him this morning about the job, and scheduling, I thought I was joking about snow. The contractor called me to cancel, and possibly reschedule for tomorrow. I’m […]
Ugh! Computer Repair

Last night, my favorite laptop crapped out on me. First, it inexplicably put itself into airplane mode, and wouldn’t let me switch it back to wireless after a half dozen attempts. Okay, that was annoying, but I thought maybe a reboot would let it find the signal. Nope. All it did was give me an […]
Ozzie

Ozzie is the 10 year old longhair gray male cat we adopted a couple of months ago. He was a picky eater at first. When we went on vacation a month ago, we decided to “lock” him into the annex, so the girl cats wouldn’t steal his food when he didn’t eat it fast enough. […]
Lasagne!

My other half wanted me to make lasagne a few days ago. No. Not happening after I had my molar implant removed. This is day four later, and although I had to scarf down some ibuprofin this morning when I woke up, I think I can finally handle eating somthing a little more solid than […]
Pole Barn Rep Arrived to Assess the Damage
Posted in Uncategorized on November 2, 2018 | Leave a Comment »
This guy is the local rep for the pole barn manufacturer. Evidently he made good time driving from his previous appointment, because he got here a few minutes before my other half did. So, I showed him the roof damage, and let him inside the barn to check out the wood frame. The wood framing […]
