It's friday

The weather here in Mid-Missouri is just beautiful compared to what we usually experience in August. It never even made it to 80 today. Sunday morning they are calling for a low of 52 degrees!


This afternoon Jeremy came over and quickly summoned me outside with the camera. He was telling me he had blog material.

Lying in the woods beside our road was this doe. He had stopped to take a picture with his cell phone and she never moved. He drove on to the house, got me, we went back and she was still there.



While Jeremy worked on his Jeep trailer, Grandpa and the boys planned out their log cabin.

Sometimes it takes three.








Other times two are enough.







Here he is starting with the first coat of paint.







The wheels were quickly added here due to a rain storm coming in. Luckily it passed us by. The wheels were then taken off and more paint was applied.

Tomorrow I will have pictures with the fenders on. It got too dark to get a good shot.

Have a great weekend. We are road tripping for antique furniture in the morning. With any luck we will have pictures and furniture tomorrow night.

It's Monday already . . and that's almost gone too

I can't believe the weekend went by so fast.





It all started Friday when cousin's of BT's came in from Iowa.

Dan and Pat came on their Harley's! Here we are visiting with them at their hotel. We had just enjoyed drinks and dinner together. BT's sister Darlene, and her husband Doug were our chauffeur's.

We gave them the 5 cent tour of Jefferson City. We drove around the Capitol, past the Lewis and Clark monument and to the south side of town. The cousins wanted to see where their great uncles and great grandparents lived in the early 1900's.









Here are the 2 uncles. Circa 1960.



Pat has her own bike, it's a softtail classic. She loves chrome!

I didn't get a picture that does Dan's bike justice, but he has an Electra glide.

We spent Saturday visiting with them at our place. The blacksmith repaired a spring from Dan's kickstand. That sure impressed Dan, that a blacksmith could fix a Harley Davidson. BT's brother Pat, and his wife Larraine came to visit with the cousins too.


Remember this from August a year ago? Jeremy bought this 1948 Jeep Bantam trailer. He has been working on restoring it.








It's now been primered. When it stops raining this week, he will give it the color coat.

One last thing, I had my doctor appointment today. I am singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! I did not tear, or break anything. He told me it was just trauma to the muscle. I have drugs and some exercises to do. I am very lucky!
