Crochet Me Crazy

in our new yard drinking my coffee this morning. It's quiet and peaceful here now that the tourists are gone. It's a litle chaotic living sorta in between two places. I'm about to get Alison up and we're going back to the ranch to get her school work and her dance stuff and then we're coming back here to the stables. Jeff got most of my fence up so I can move Gracie. Now I have to get my washer and dryer dug out of storage and hooked up and the stoves switched out before I can really get the household pumping smoothly here.

Here's the little house we are moving into...we'll be making some improvements to it along the way. We'll be adding a porch....maybe even a screened porch.



We're excited to move though. Life will be a lot less stressful. "B" and I will be able to split up some of the running for the kid's activities. Last night, we were trying t decide whether to have dinner before or after the 4-H meeting when we realized we both don't have to go so I took them all to their 4-H meeting and she cooked the lasagne and had it ready when we got home. 4-H activities this year are going to be showing horses, goats and I'm hoping Jeff will have time to do the shooting sports with them. We tried for that last year but there wasn't enough time.

Oh! Other news....Michael got a 2nd part time job! He's been working at the auto parts store part time all summer. Well, he got hired across the street at a car garage paying $10/hour! Well, good...maybe his independence isn't too far off now. He's liable to learn a little about cars through all this.

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted any pictures so how about a few pictures from the past couple of weeks....

My love, Gracie, is getting big...

I've got to get that deer moved. She misses me since I've been staying over here at the stables. When I went home yesterday, she put her head on me and closed her eyes when I petted her...not something she normally does, being she is a deer.

And here at the pigs they got recently out at the ranch. Good bye little piggies! I never really got a change to get to know them....
