There’s been a lot going on around here at the
rental home, and at our country home.
We’ve been totally breaking down the raised garden
beds at the rental home. The wood was
separated into two piles...the good pile (which we gave to a neighbor, and the bad
pile (wood no longer of use, needing to go to the dump). To save time, and our backs, we rented a
Bobcat to breakdown and spread the soil, compost, and peat throughout the side
yard. Tank, our son, offered to run the
Bobcat to make things a little easier on us old folks (he loves being a smart
a$$). Granted, we rented the Bobcat for
the entire weekend; our boy had the job done in less than 45 minutes. This
gave us the opportunity to return the Bobcat early, and not beat our bodies up
from the constant jerking and bobbing back and forth.

The moving process has begun!!! We rented a large enclosed trailer for two
weekends to move all of my garden stuff, the garage with all the tools, and
equipment. Then we started working on
moving our household items (the small stuff). The last Saturday of this month a local
moving company will come in and move all the furniture, and the real heavy
items.
Tomorrow, I’ll be back out at our country home to
receive some new appliances, and have a satellite installed for TV/internet
access. On Wednesday we’re having a
tornado shelter installed on our property.
My plans are to use the shelter as a root cellar for harvested
vegetables (onions, potatoes) when we’re not using it for tornadoes. I still need to complete research to make
sure the tornado shelter will be cool enough here in Oklahoma for certain
vegetables and fruit.

Because there were so many foot prints of wildlife
around our new home, Bulldog Man and I setup a few game cams, and we wish to
share with you some of the pictures.

Now I know a few of you will get a kick out of this
next picture. It’s the new roller skate
designed specifically for trucks……check it out……
I know I’m being a smart ____ _____ _____!!!!

I’ll be in and out of Blogger while we finish moving
into our new place, and get setup. Thank you for being patient while this
happens.
