Coffee anyone ?

Tha

Coffee is on, blueberry biscuts in the oven.

Thanks PA can always count on you for coffee! On my second cup. The 3 year old is up, having breakfast of Mac n cheese and grapes. It’s what she wanted after being told no gummy bears. LOL The 4 year old just got up. FEM bunk beds won’t work. Our son comes to visit and he’s over 6’ tall. Was thinking trundle beds so it would sorta make a king bed for him.

No "to do" list ??????? REALLY? Not a happening, unless you stop writing them down.

I'm almost done with 2nd cup and using it to wash down breakfast.....apple pie. Hey, fruit and grain, right?

I grabbed a Mother Earth Mag yesterday from a stack I was just moving in an effort to re-arrange some things. The cover had an article listed that I thought I wanted to read --- about some cone covers you make for early or late gardening (yeah, I'm thinking of Spring!) --- so, was reading that during early coffee. It was informative and as I paged on, I saw a seed ad that read "new varieties for your 1995 garden" . Guess I save a lot of things longer than others. Then it got me to thinking just how long I've been doing this stuff. I've had a farm of some size for over 50 years!! Always with animals. No wonder I can't stop. Some things change, others never will.

Tomorrow I begin an entire week of being at home. Exciting!

Our son comes to visit and he’s over 6’ tall.

A couple of years ago when the Superbowl was in Houston - I had two reporters as houseguests for a couple of nights. It was a father/son team and holy cow were these guys tall. Dad was 6'5" and son 6'6". Dad slept in the guest room with the queen bed and son slept in the grandkids room on the bottom bunk bed, lol. He said there are no beds long enough for him anyway so the bunk bed wasn't really a problem. LOL - poor guy!

Coffee is on.
Yesterday afternoon we got a load of firewood split and stacked (and moved as it was a tree someone just needed cleaned up) It's all split and hopefully we'll get the rest of it moved tonight. Still working on our breezeway clean up so we can start burning. I have been getting a weeks worth of hay moved from the farm every week too. Either my shoulder is going to give it up or get stronger... Kids help as much as they can. It's not too bad though I can get about 23 bales on the truck myself, DH can get around 30 but I don't like to stack as high. It's nice to put in a the shed without worrying about it getting wet anymore.
One reason DH would really like a new camper is the bed isn't quite a queen as we were told... maybe one of those short queens or a full we haven't ever actually measured it... but his feet hang off the end.
Letting the kids sleep in this morning we stayed up watching a movie...
I need to get the kids up and get our day going. Have a good one!

A very crisp 30 here at get up Bright sunshine, so maybe the warming to 60 will happen quickly. So far it's supposed to be good weather all week. Hurray!! Been a long time since I've had a week off with decent weather. I'm looking forward to it.

Have things to do but, no pressure. Will take it one day at a time and enjoy "practicing retirement" A week of it!

Thanks for the coffee. I woke up at 3, looked at clock......Naw.....went back to sleep. Woke up at 4, went back to sleep, woke up at 7 and got up. Going to be a beautiful day!

@Xerocles you might like to join us in a cup of coffee?

I’m frying pan sausage from Wilbur and scrambled eggs. PA where’s those fabulous cinnamon rolls? LOL

PA where’s those fabulous cinnamon rolls?

I made a Thanksgiving dinner of sorts for the grand daughters on Saturday. We were out of town on Friday and missed the little girls Thanksgiving feast at their day care and we felt awful about that. So we made pumpkin pies, baked chicken, mac n' cheese-just what they wanted. Made rosemary focaccia bread too, the 12 year old ate most of that. DD and family will be going to the Houston area to spend Thanksgiving with son in law's family. Both his parents are gone, so any family time he gets is a special thing to him. My son will come here and it will be the 3 of us. I'll bake a young rooster, make cornbread dressing, more pumpkin pies, grapefruit salad, purple hull peas and whatever tickles my fancy. I think I'll dredge from my feeble memory the dinner rolls I used to make many moons ago.
