Master of Destruction

Dustin wants to build a go-cart!! He went to do some work for one of my clients and she gave him the motor he was needing to start his new project. As a younger boy he would take things a part (never getting them back together, the way they should). He has always liked to tinker. When Dustin got home on Saturday he could hardly wait to get started. Well Sunday rolled around and from the time he woke up until it got dark, he was out side working on getting parts from my old lawn mower. He really worked hard!! Now he wants Bob to get a frame from the junk yard and his project will be complete (we hope). Shell

My Flower Garden

Well summer is close to an end and I hate to see my hard work die. I got this bright idea to grow my own flowers starting with seed's. I went to Home Depot and bought a shelf and some florescent light to help them grow better. Man this was a lot of work. I had to keep them moist but not to moist. The first batch I killed ( I though I really had a green thumb). Being the person I am and don't do well with defeat, I started a new round (when it got a little warmer). They did OK, not what I had expected. I found a green house on sale, and yes I bought it!!! Cant waite until next spring to experiment with it. I want to use the seed's from my flowers outside to make more flower's (Bob I know what you are thinking). I also had this weird vine growing in my flower bed, I could not waite to see what it was going to produce. Gourds, the kind you can make bird houses out of!!! So, I have been reading up on how to dry them and make bird houses out of them. So if any one is interested ( I have lot's growing) I would be happy to pass some your way. There is nothing like getting dirt under your finger nails and the smell of dirt. Shell

Kids and birthdays

Well it has been crazy around here. With school starting and birthdays all in the same week and a crazy work schedule have left not much time to post. Brett's birthday was on Friday (13 yrs old) and Ashley's was on Tuesday (the big 16). Brett decided to have just a dad and son b-day and to spend it deer hunting (Sept 13 youth season). I hope that they have the opportunity to shoot a nice buck. Ashley has decided to have friends over this weekend and to go to the mall on Saturday and chase guys and shop!! I can not believe that she is 16. It just seems like yesterday that I was dropping her off to kindergarten and crying that my little baby girl was starting school. They are both such good kids and I am so blessed to have both of them!!
