Cake
decorating class has now ended for a while. For the last class the
girls made some flowers. I
guess we are now going to store them in the freezer just waiting for
someone to come by demanding a decorated cake. Looking back, I
should have suggested they go to the BBQ class. Think of it this way
what happens if someone comes over wanting some ribs and sauce?
I have
been needing to do some do some fence work in the neighbors pasture.
It is a little warm here so I thought it would be nice to get some help.
The kids were all gone so I do not have them for labor. Well I
placed an ad on Tradio. Some guy wanted to work the fence for
$600. I just needed to get some wire stretched and some
wired added. He
was so proud that his father had taught him to fence and he has known
how to do it for three years now. I was guessing ( by listening to
him ) that he was in his late twenties. Maybe he is a late
bloomer. Are
people not born knowing how to fence? You put up an obstacle
and animals or other objects can not go thru it. I mean I have
watched children building fence before they could walk. I am not
going to his house to drink the water. Needless to say he did not
help me with repairs.
The
turkeys are on the wrong side of Sherry now. They were once her
more treasured farm animal. Times have changed. A
while back Sherry planted a bunch of Morning Glory flowers in the fence
row. This
week she caught the turkeys eating the young sprouts. The kids and
I have been pleading with her and telling her the chickens tricked the
turkeys into eating the flowers, but she is not biting off on that idea
yet.
Phillip
goes out each week and weighs the turkeys. He takes out a scale
and places it on the ground and then goes and holds the turkeys as he
steps on the scale. I guess our big one is over 40 lbs now. To
listen to Phillip the turkey saw its weight and now it will not eat any
more tomatoes. Guess it is ashamed of its weight.
Sherry
is convinced that the corn is putting the weight on the birds and not
the tomatoes. She says that tomatoes are heart healthy. Hard
to believe that around here even the poultry are receiving diet
counseling and healthy choices. Our
one little chick has two hens watching over all the time. Do
not know what the situation is on this. Both seem very pleased
with watching over their little ward. I guess this was a cheaper
solution than placing the one hen on an antidepressant.
Jean
has left for the summer and returned to Kansas City getting ready to
start school. Will be missing her as she was becoming the little
cook for us. It was nice to come home and have something already
prepared for us.
Her
packing habits need some improvement. How one person needs so much
to live for the summer is unclear to me. I use to leave for
deployments in the military and be gone a couple of months and not pack
as much as she does for a visit. I predict that she will have to
own a pickup someday just to be able to go and visit friends for the
weekend. Even as a baby we had a trailer to haul her stuff around
in it. Amazing she has been able to take so many motorcycle trips
with me. Now days I do not know if the bike could even carry two
days of her clothing.
Phillip
and I are finishing the welding class. He
has been wanting to start auto body repair for a while now. Thinks
our fortune can be in that. No more T.V. for us. No more
couches and cool air, instead we will live in the garage repairing
everything we can find. Glad he is able to dream so big for both
of us.
Sherry
was out picking some tomatoes last night. When she came
inside she was washing up and noticed that her armpits were all green. I
guess she got scared. Said that she was thinking of all these awful
diseases she could have had. Come to find out it was from reaching
over the vines.
Wonder
how I would have explained to Emergency Room Staff that she had mold in
her arm pits. Glad
I did not have to take her in. Do not think the insurance
would have covered it. “Don’t
worry Mr. O’Mara your wife is just moldy.” What a relief
that I did not hear those words from the Doctor.
We
are going to meet with Sherry’s folks this weekend and be part of the
city wide garage sale. Life is good.
I
guess we are now going to store them in the freezer just waiting for
someone to come by demanding a decorated cake. Looking back, I
