Vickir73 & The Chunky Dunk!! - pics of first show

[Vickir73]

so last night at my house it was boys against girls for a game of Sequence. After the boys beat us 5-0, my son sits up in his chair and yells "Yeah, that's why we're the roosters and y'all are the hens!" REALLY???? his dad tried to tell him that was considered rude, but he was laughing too hard to really get the point across.

We need rain!!! I'm going to start working on the garden this weekend to get it ready to plant for fall. I think I'm going to just rip up all the plants and take them into the chicken run. I'd like to till them back into the ground, but I don't think my tiller is strong enough - I'd love to have a one of my own (I borrow my grandmother's) and have it be one of those that you can guide with one hand. This was definitely takes some muscles to use, but it does get the job done. I'm going to expand the garden but I don't know if I want to do it for the fall garden or not. I think I'm going to try different little plots for different things, have a plot for black eyed peas, plot for green beans, etc., but I have completely decided. I'd like to have fence up around each different plot (damn deer), but that would be a lot of work, so I may just expand what I have and try to rotate my sections each season.

Aren't kids great? It's even harder when they make us laugh, when it's really not funny. Here in Oregon, we are so happy when it doesn't rain for awhile. As most of our months are rain. Good luck with the tilling. Hope you can get a tiller of your own. We have to borrow too. I hate doing that. I always pray that nothing goes wrong while borrowing it. Hope the deer stay out. Good luck with the garden!

AP & FTLG - I'm there!! ' cause, of course, I have nothing else to do

So here's the latest news!! - my mom called me yesterday on my way home and asked me if I'd heard about this

oh, and I'm starting the design for the new add on for the trailer. I'm supposed to hear back about the new trailer today, but I'm almost kinda looking forwarding to building onto what I have - just so I can get exactly what I want. I wish I could draw, so I could post a picture of what I was thinking about so I could get feedback, but right now the room will be about 12'x36' and include a walk in pantry; a "wet mud" area where we can store boots, shoes, umbrellas, etc.; space for a (hopefully) new front load washer and dryer; and counter space along an entire wall so I have plenty of room for seedlings. I'd also like a place/closet to store my vacuum, mop and broom. I'm thinking the washer and dryer will go in the middle of the wall with cabinets along both sides. I'm thinking windows above the counter, but I can't decide if I want any cabinets hanging on the wall or just the windows.

The design is still definitely a work in progress. I've been looking on pinterest to get ideas for the room and I've been starting to research building. I know the basics (I did build my own chicken coop) but I know it's going to be a little bit more difficult, so we will see.

I'm almost hoping I don't get approved for the new trailer

Wow, sounds like you have been planning this for a while. Congrats that it's moving forward. Do you think you can take before and after pictures? Would love to see those.

just remember you can never have enough outlets I can see it from your description. I would place some windows but you will need the cabinets I am thinking

 

[Vickir73]

I will try to make some sort of drawing and post it so y'all can see and give feedback. Definitely need windows!! Love to be able to see the outside. As far as the outlets go, the ex is an electrician so I know I will have plenty of outlets, recessed lighting, - "whatever your little heart desires" as he says (he trying to get back in my good graces Will definitely be taking before and after photos.

Just put fedex box up front to be picked up by the fedex man (hotty alert!!) going to Pan American Vet Labs to get all 3 girls tested for CAE and CL. -- say a little prayer - I am completely confident they will come back negative for both

Sold Momma Goat yesterday to a man who just wanted her basically to make babies since she's got a double teat she's definitely not gonna be a favorite milker but he said he didn't mind. I didn't like his personality too much - very "macho" but from what he and his wife were saying and the way he was checking Momma Goat over (and I got his number from a woman I know and she said he takes very good care of his animals) I felt like he knew what he was talking about - I didn't get the feeling that he mistreats his goats - just a "I'm the man and you're the woman" mentality. Maybe he just wasn't a "people" person, but I will be checking up on her and I also told him that if he decided he didn't want to mess with her and her special teat that he could just let me know and I would buy her back.

Got the garden torn down. I was going to start tilling, but I forgot I'm supposed to be helping a girlfriend clean her house she's my best friend, but she's is completely not motivated and is a hoarder and her daughter and SIL pretty much trashed her house while they were living with her and I've helped her before but it always ends up back to how it was before and a complete waste of time, but helping her makes her happy and right now she needs all the happiness she can get. Her 18 year old daughter (who has droppoed out of high school and is married to a addict / con-artist who is twice her age and has no job to help support his wife and maybe baby (they're not sure who the father is because she was also sleeping with my other best friends 18 year old son - IT'S A MESS!! ) is 4 months pregnant. but there is not enough space on this form for me to talk about this situation.

But I'll be getting my new goat this week and she will need to be milked twice a day, so I've told my girlfriend I can't stay all weekend. I've got too much to do at my place. So we'll see.
