Looking Towards Spring in Sharing 519

Ugh... Mowing...

I have discovered that it doesn't matter how proud you are of your new mower. It doesn't matter if it's a fancy electric mower with a 56 volt battery. It doesn't even matter if you are continually amazed and impressed with how well it takes care of tall grass.

It still ain't near as much fun to use in July as it was in April.

I have taken to mowing in ten minute shifts, then cooling down indoors for a bit. Takes a lot longer to get the yard done, but also I don't die.

You need one of those remote controlled mowers where you could sit inside or on the porch.

I did the same thing yesterday...mow a portion of the yard, then go inside to cool off.

They make lawnmower versions of a roomba. But my yard is WAY too big. I've looked into it, with disappointment.

One last day of peace...then back to work.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Well, the last of the kiddos left today. Alex ended up having to put a new thermostat in my van. It's always something. I'm so thankful that he did it for me. I'm very grateful to have such good kids. They have been super helpful in all this stuff going on.

Monday again - that 3-day weekend was amazing. But...4 more work days after today and then I'm on PTO for a week. Mom and Dad are coming down. I'm super excited. Gotta get their room put back together after the craziness of the buggies.

We went Friday got all our bags of stuff from the storage unit. I have my closet put back together finally.

We found out Saturday? I think. That the guy who gave his two week notice has left fully now. lol at Adams job. Sooo hoping that gets things moving a bit faster for our move. Who knows guess we'll see!

[Roscoe]

Done some work today around the house. Set a bonfire and burned much brush, laughed and thought of Mel Mel and how much she would have enjoyed the towering flames.
Mowed the yard, worked on the apartment, then broke off of outside work in the heat and came inside to cook dinner for Lou, Chey and "He's not my boyfriend, Dad!"- but obviously is- Version 2.
 The lad loved dinner or is an extremely talented liar who is skilled at the treatment of fat old dads. I find myself somewhat approving despite myself. It is extremely weird to me to see this skinny kid and actually see so many of my own traits from my teen years reflected in him. It is scary that my daughter is attracted to someone who has so many of my traits and faults. But, what will be will be..God's will.

[MsJennJenn]

Age old phrase that "girls marry men like their Dads" lol. I definitely did in many ways. 

[Nelle]

It's almost insane how much that old saying ends up being true.

So much about Jeremy is like my dad.

[Roscoe]

Urgg. Midnight  getting in from camp meeting.  I am wiped out and grumpy.  Started to stay home.   

[sunlight]

one day we need to sneak back up your way and scare the rest of your hair off.

[Lynx]

His driving would scare my hair off. How are we going to scare HIM?

[mini]

Morning everyone.

It's hardly worth the trouble cooking for just one.

That's what chest freezers were invented for.

Dollar store has little plastic containers, three for a dollar.

After the little portions are frozen, pop them out and slide the frozen discs in a ziplock freezer bag.

Or that's what I do at least. Sometimes I freeze up 30 little discs of deer chili.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I saw Chel today.

[Roscoe]

Hi all. Sorry for not being around  as much. My season of life is a busy one....despite me wanting  to take an exit ramp for a few days and switch to a lower gear.
Hope all is well

Some things freeze better than others. It's a new phase for me to get used to.

[Lynx]

Oh yeah... Uh... Don't ever try freezing scrambled eggs. Just don't.

Dina and family are flying to Rwanda for their next adventure. She said they're hitting turbulence but should land in less than an hour. I'm trying not to be sad.

[Roscoe]

 I cannot imagine globetrotting like that. I don't think I'd last very long before I'd want to run back to my country mouse life. Been busy. Chey just got back from PEAK, the big youth meeting in Tulsa. About 4500 people there they said. Some terrific messages preached from the clips I've heard.
I took advantage of chey's absence to get a bit more done on her floor. Now, grout it and trim it out and the living room will be mostly complete. I get to lay flooring in the kitchen area and do some plumbing and electrical next. Fun.

[Roscoe]

Hi. Weekend was not long enough. Got some things done though. Amazing service last night. Back to the grind tomorrow.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

She said the temperature was nice and they have an avocado tree in their yard.

[Roscoe]

Chey and Lou would love that. Me, I have yet to find a use for an avocado.
They is nasty things. And yes, I hate,hate,hate guacamole.
  Morning all. Back at the dungeon to fight multiple  dragons today.
Trying to be positive  and upbeat but it is pre-10 am and the struggle  is real.
