Saturday Night

Another busy day around the ole' mini farm. Husband did chores this morning so I got to sleep in a bit but then went out and helped him finish up. It was very overcast and dreary so Ann and I decided not to ride which is very unusual for us on a Saturday morning but she had things to do and I did also. Funsize had something to go to so she couldn't ride either so all the guys got a day off.

The carpenters arrived to start building the play house for T and D. This has been in the works for a few weeks, you know drawing up the plans and all.... We have tried to keep it a secret but got found out this morning when the kids popped in! They were pretty excited about the whole thing and will be even more so when it is finished. One side is going to be a work bench for D and the other side a sink and sideboards for T. We had a play house that my Dad got for us when we were kids and we LOVED it. It was our own little club house and get away. I wish I had a picture of it as it is gone now.

Will continue as progress is made. :0)

Husband and I went out for an early dinner at Captain Nick's another of our favorite restaurants. We both had the lobster rolls which were excellent. We also went to the nursery as I had to get some more Wave petunias to replace the ones that were bombarded by the hail a week ago. Luckily they had some left so I brought them home and put them in the bare spots. My poor gardens have had such a hard time this year and don't look nearly as good as they should by now.

On the way home we drove by Stephen and Tabitha Kings house so that I could get a picture for this post. I felt ashamed driving down their street, stopping and snapping a couple of pictures but you know anything for the blog! lol!

They live on a nice street with big old homes that are kept up really well. No one around here bothers the Kings, they are given their privacy except for a few crazy old bloggers that take pictures of their house....ahem......... I am not a fan of Stephen Kings writing, it would scare the living daylights out of me, but they have done so much good for the community with their money you just have to admire them. They have been very generous in many different ways, just one being the huge addition that they helped put on the library.

Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer is hosting a H.U.G.E. give away next week. Go over and check it out and you might want to participate. I'm getting something ready to give away but can't tell what it is until Monday! :0) (I guess it won't be hard to figure out for those of you who know that I make and sell totes.) heehee! Now I need to figure out how to use the Mr. Linky to sign up. Poor dcrmom will probably be getting another S.O.S. call!
