busy times/catch-all post

Just a little country decoration (weeds)

The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy. We started school on a small scale. Still painting the neighbors house, though we have had several days of rain. We have done a little more minor work on the COUNTRY PLACE, you'll have to check that out. Have done a little canning and cooking of special things, in other words, homeschool home-ec. I'll let Abigail tell you about that. It is feeling very fall like here, fall like with rain, if that could be a description of the weather. But the sun is coming out today and should be nice for a whole week! Andy finally got his remote control airplane replaced. It took us a while to get around to taking it back, clear to the big city you know. We are lucky they even took it back! whew! Bryan is making progress on his wheels and coincidentally talks a lot about tires and trucks and anything remotely related ALL THE TIME. Sam is continually honing his blacksmithing skills and researching about new ways and products to use in that. We have had way too many birthdays in August. Speaking of birthdays, happy birthday to Diane P., I tried to text you this morning but you must not have texting. We still need to get together you know. Just name the day, I can be pretty flexible. *grin. I think* Well, that wraps it up for now. catch ya later people.
