Another action packed and fun day

It was 28 degrees F this morning, but the animals still need to be fed and watered!















After morning animal chores I had K7 and K8 move the large pile of lumber in the driveway over under the office window because our moving vans were scheduled to arrive today.

















Our furniture arrived, but not in the morning as scheduled. We staged one at the front door (leaving enough room for our builder Alan to finish the front porch on Monday and Tuesday), and we staged the second trailer down around back so we can move its contents into the basement. We unload them Wednesday, 10 November at noon, so if you are in the neighborhood, feel free to join us. Should be a good work out because our stuff weighed in at 19, 712 pounds! I am very happy that ABF charges by volume and not weight like most of the other moving companies I contacted.














The lawn tractor's battery died, so we pushed it out of the barn this morning so Alan could get access to some stacked lumber. Later in the day while I was in town, K6 thought it would be fun to coast it down hill to the pasture gate...just before our moving van arrived and had to enter through the pasture. He did not have as much fun dragging it back up hill when I got home.

  1. I certainly do not envy unloading that moving van. Remind yourself (and the boys) to "lift with your legs, not your back." It would help to have a dolly or two. You poor, poor men!

  3. Speaking of jeans, where are K7's pants? You crazy or somethin'? You don't live in the south anymore. Put the long pants on!
    Boys need hard work, fresh air, and good outdoor fun. Funny idea with the tractor! As long as it goes back to it's place. Love you all!
