Muddy Boot Acres


Friday, August 15, 2008 - inky dinky

little keys.  That is what I have to type on.  My big computer is messed up again!   You go to connect, and you hear the recording say, "If you would like to make a call, hang up and dial again."  What's with that ?  I take the same line and plug it in here and POOF!  I'm online.  So, no pictures until I can get to work on my tower.

I can tell you how great  VBS went.  It went quick, like always!  The kids had fun.  Ken made a great impression as King Solomon, and Jessalyn was a good, wicked lady that didn't care if her baby was chopped up!  If you would like to read the rest of the story,  you can always read it here: A Wise Ruling

Tom pulled out the top  pine cupboards from my friends old farm house before they tore it down.   Ken and I had taken the doors and bottom, but figured it would be to hard to get the top down.  When Tom had taken a day off and the house was standing still after two weeks, I figured it was good enough reason to have him go over and give it a try.   Took him almost an hour!  Those homemade cabinets were in better than the whole house was put together.  One push and it was down and level in twenty minutes!

Jess had her birthday this last week.  A few gifts, a trip to pizza hut, and a big cone finished off the day.  She and Rebekah have been riding (or should I say practicing the games) a lot!  Becky is riding a mustang named Sal that a young woman in the neighborhood owns.  She works out of town all week and only can ride weekends now with her new job, so she is as excited that there is someone to ride him as much as Becky is to get on.   He is a fast horse!   I have taken to riding Rosie our appy.  She was for becky and is more laid back but I think she was bit by the thrill of a little more speed.  I still have Methias, my 'stang but he can't be ridden like the others.   Just when you think he is to lame,  he runs and bucks all over the pasture.  Ah, what to do and when.

Count it a loss for the pickles, lopes, mellons.   All the leaves are turning yellow and although there are flowers, there isn't any fruits.  The corn looks like swamp grass with only two small ears for 40 some plants.

Hope to figure out the puter problem soon and get those pictures up!

I hope you get to put your pictures up soon. I am glad you had a good time at VBS. My plants are not doing so hot this year either. I keep hoping some of the cucumbers will stay alive so I can make pickles.
