Crazy-Busy-Happy-Life

Okay here is an update so that my two boys will know what is going on, sorry guys I've been a bit busy.

The 1st picture below is of Grammy's last harvest of carrots from her garden. She had Zuccini, cucumber, pole beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes etc. plus the back fence is covered in two types of grapes. Needles to say she has been busy freezing, canning and drying all that she can. The picture below only shows what was left of the carrot harvest. I wonder what it will be like when the fruit trees start producing in two years.

What's up Doc! Thanks Grammy!



The next picture is of Leo helping Grammy nail the bottom panels on the new 10x10 shed I built. I had some great helpers, Chance, Triniti, Leo, Sara, Martha and Grammy assisted at various times but in the end it was about 80% me and 20% a great family supporting an old guy. Truth be told the ladies were worried I'd kill myself or something. Leo loved to hammer and hammer and hammer.
Leo the Tool Guy!

The shed still needs a coat of paint and trim done but it will survive the weather now.




Now, I also started a shed (Covering) for the meat factory. Yep, Grammy wanted me to protect the Rabbits so I'm enclosing the existing framework and extending the roof. It will be painted a light blue/green (per Grammy) and have white plastic lattice for a fashion touch. I've been delayed on this project due to weather, a 10x10 shed, the demo of a garage and house painting in Casper and oh yes - "Work". Luckily I'm not on a time schedule here or else I'd get fired. The picture below shows what I've done and how much I have to go.



Now that Heather, Nathan and kiddo's are here let's say it's BUSY around here. I told her and everyone else it's like having 5 kids again but this time they are my grandkids and Grammy and I have 4 other adults to help us out. Oh I almost forgot the three dogs!


I love these two boys expressions. Heather and the boys were making family home evening treats and what do we get? Two totally opposite expressions! If only adults were like this at work I'd know from a distance who I would want to work with today. Gotta love kids! Expecially when they are your grandkids.


Then suddenly the curious one shows up! "Hey when do I get to try this?"
