A New Week Already?

Busy, busy, busy - We were just finishing eating this morning when the grandkids and their friends showed up and the went with Pawpaw to cut wood while I went out and did outdoor chores.The weather was so beautiful that it makes me never what to see cold again-lol - like I have a choice in the matter????? No, just dreams . : )

I came in and straightened up and then checked the beans that I had put in the crock--pot last night. I was hoing to have some butter to season them with, but there was just a film left in the container so I melted that down and got about a teaspoon to add to the beans along with some salt. If they are kind enough to come work for free-then I have to find something to feed them. I fixed a big container of cornmeal and they all came out of the woods just as I pulled it out of the oven. Talk about perfect timing?

While they were eating and talking with PawPaw I came in the sewing room and cut out a second shirt from the camo blue that I had . This one will be for DH , so I have to be a little sneaky and that will be tough. It seems like whenever I work on something for him that he can just "smell"it and he will show up every little while and I have to hide my work quickly??? Shoot , it used to be at Christmas when I had his presents wrapped that he would hold them up and wiggle them this way and that and then he would tell me everytime what was in the package.


I guess that was when it became a contest of seeing when I could fool him? One Christmas I put a box in a box and a box in a box and a box in a box until it got to the note. Now , since he could not read I drawed out a map with clues and he had to follow the map all over the farm until he found his treasure - some kind of gun? 


But there was the time that I got him a rotor to put on the roof so that he could rotate the antenna for the television because I had got tired of him sticking my top part of the body out the window to turn the antenna! I thought I was being smart -UNTIL - I opened his gift to me which was a new tv and at the bottom was the payment book to go along with it-so a year later I could finally call it mine! LOL


SO , after they all ate and the kids scattered DH took off to the back of the property to do some kind of work and I poured my efforts into completing the embroidery design- I had found a "tractor" design and then resized it to be larger. I did it up in the green and yellow colors of the John Deere -which he has and is his 'baby". But I had just got it all finished when I heard him coming so I had to stash it until I can get some privacy to pull it all off????

It can be very difficult to be SNEAKY and cunning around here ! LOL
Love to all ! : 0
