Jeez!! These last two weeks have been a whirl wind, three circuses & a foot race all in one. Thank goodness that even though it has been hotter than Hades during a heat wave, it was a great two weeks.
Two of my very dear friends entrusted me with their children for a week. We went horseback riding, they drove the Kubotas around exploring, I think we shot every day, went to a single action shoot, visited Cabela's, swimming, set up a flag pole and of course, taking care all the numerous animals that require daily feeding & care.
This picture is from the SASS shoot. Tyler's (L) alias is Blazing Bullets & Hunter's (R) alias is The Kid. I wanted them to be The Kid & The Other Kid because I think that is funny. But that is just me!! :-)
We had big ambitions for projects that week, but the flag pole was the one I wanted to make sure got done & so glad it did. The boys had a grand time digging a hole, mixing the concrete & setting the whole thing up. WB was & is happy with the results. He's wanted a flag pole for some time. I love the Come & Take It flag! One of my favorite battle flags.
The chicken coop didn't get done, but at least I have the lumber & just need to get started. It's so blooming hot by the time I get done with my morning duties that I can't get motivated to get started. I'll think about it & maybe get started tomorrow. Yeah, right Scarlett. Tomorrow! Uh huh. We'll see about that!
It was a great week with the boys. I think they really enjoyed themselves & are ready to come back again any time. They especially loved their last night's supper because they could eat what ever they wanted. Yes, they both had cake & ice cream! Oh yes & a few squirts of Redi Whip directly in the mouth - only way to eat that stuff!!
Once the boys went home, it has just been the usual routines here - make sure all animals have food & water, water the yard, laundry, run to the grocery & feed stores, sneak in some visits with friends &, my personal favorite, naps. This week is trying to nail down my hay deal, get air compressor fixed, get hydraulic hose on tractor fixed, make a run to Austin & Lord only knows what else will plop itself on my plate this week - it is only Monday.
Bring it cuz I'm ready!!
