Another Trophy

1963 Trailer Update

Just thought I would update what is my newest project!  The 1963 Yellowstone trailer that I bought for glamping and craft shows is really coming along.  I have recovered some cushions, sewn new curtain and made an awning.  Plus I have added a lot of cool decorations! 

Here is the dinette with the new color scheme.

We still have some work to do on the outside.  If you want to see more before and after pictures, check out my craft blog The Closet Crafter.

Did Our Chicken Coop Get An Attached Garage?

Naw, it is just the new pole barn!  Our chickens are not that spoiled....

 This barn is going to be so great......all that room!  And it was built in one day.  Awesome.

Tomorrow they should put in the garage door and then the cement in a week or too.  

This Summer Was All About the Grandkids

We made a trip out to California for Odin's baptism at the beginning of Summer.  Mark's boys are a hoot!

 Ronan-this is exactly his personality.

 Archer is such a sweetie.

 Odin had Cub Day Camp while we were there.

This is Odin on a bed of nails----ouch!

 Getting ready for the Baptism.

 It was hard to get them to stand still for a photo as the next few photos will show.......

 When summer was in full swing we had the older grandchildren come for a week of cousin time.  The twins, Chloe and Phoebe, love all the country things to do here in Ohio.  One of our outings was a trip to an Amish Auction.  Fun!

 Abby is getting so grown up.  Kill me now!

 Church on Sunday.

 Eli had his Rain Gutter Regatta and we all went to support him. 

 Abby, Chloe, Jenn and Phoebe. 

 Ron got enlisted as a judge.

Eli got 1st place!!!!

I don't even know what to say!!!!

New Pole Barn Going Up

Since our little vintage camper found a new home in Ron's barn, we found that storage space was getting a little tight!

 So we bought a pole barn at the local Amish auction to store the "extra" stuff like the flat bed trailer and all the tractor attachments.  The Amish crew started at 7:00 am and at lunch time we snapped these pics.

Mom and Dad came up to the back pasture with me to check it out.  Plus we picked some tomatoes and a watermelon for them to take home.  The barn should be up by the end of the day and then next week they will put in the cement floor.  We are sure going to love the extra space!

Hot and Humid in Ohio

Another hot day here in Ohio.  I am still working on the garden and fields but today I took a little break in the shade.  I pulled a bench under a huge maple tree and read a book for a bit.

Of course, as soon as the girls saw me they came running.....

begging for one of the goldfish crackers I was snacking on.

 

Soon the sun had moved just enough so my shade was gone.  I packed up my stuff and headed for the house and the cool basement.  No more work outside for me until the temps drop this evening!

Atlanta Break

This month we went to see the twins in Atlanta.  Oh, and Cindy and Ryan.........

We got to go to one of their soccer games.

Monday we went to the Aquarium in Atlanta.

The girls liked to touch everything.

Beluga whale.

Penguins!

The girls were so much fun!  We went out to eat, the movies, soccer practice and out to eat some more!  They love sushi and fried rice!  Such great girls......love them......miss them.
