A Crash In the Night

Last night Cayla spent the night again, we ate late. Around 12:30 or 1:00 a loud noise was heard in the back yard (except by WB). Cayla said she just froze, I knew what it was immediately, I have heard it many times before!

Neighbors Halloween Ms. Scarecrow

The other day I was heading out to run errand and this is what I saw over at some of the neighbors house. It just cracked me up…now how creative is that. Never in a million years would I have thought of this! Check out the pencil for the cigarette, and the lamp shade for the hat! I just loved it~

Gettin Crafty

I am trying to reclaim my office since Casey has gotten married. Kylie told me that it was her room. I told her that before she came along it was CaCa’s room, then my office, then her room. she did not quite understand that. As I was looking at this old pencil holder I was using…a ceramic jar I have had for oh, a very long time, I was so tired of it…so I remembered this paper I bought the other day that I just love & then the crafting began….

Tonight's Menu

Tonights menu is....Stouffer's lasagna and Tres Leches (three milk's in English) Cake and wheat rolls. Don't know if the cake will be good or not but the the pioneer woman said it is what they eat back home in Mexico! Pictures of the cake coming soon..don't get your hopes to high! Well,  as you can see they loved it!

Who has Free Vegetables?

I truly do not understand people…and I do not mean family, that will come to your farm and think that you should just give them free produce. I mean…hello….this is how we pay our bills..does anyone else get free groceries??? I have not received any free groceries at the stores when I go, have you??? I wonder if we gave away all of our crops if God would pay our bills. Would he give us a miracle? Now, don’t get me wrong. If a there is a needy family or a widow that needs food, we would be thrilled to assist them, and we do…every crop we do help a widow or two, etc. And if a family is having problems you can bet we will help all we can. This is the thing, those are not the people who are taking advantage, it is the ones who  have plenty! One lady came, brought her friend & began to load up the back of her truck. Another man came, stopped by the squash field on his way in and stole a few squash…those are his words, not mine. Then wanted just three zucchini…that is not worth my time leaving the house for…never offered a cent..not one! Might I add that  the squash market has been awful this fall & we just hope we break even!  Which means we will need to recoup $3000.00 per acre for squash grown on plastic and $2000.00 per acre for the squash grown on bare ground! OK, I got it off of my chest! Enough said!!!

Fabulous Fridays

I tell you, Friday’s and Monday’s on the farm are an adventure. The workers got home early Thursday, we had a short picking day. This is not always the best for them as they like to celebrate an end to a early workday, if you know what I mean!!! Well, Sure enough Friday comes around, at least 7 are at home with hang over’s, a couple are at work in this condition, one of the crew leaders had his van stolen, by one of his crew, anther one had to have a visit from the Morven PD! All this leaves us short handed needless to say, which means someone has to pick up the slack. That usually falls on WB, Bill, Cole and even myself!  Wonder why WB has grey hair! It is like having a small army of teenagers! But we are so thankful to have them, we could not do it without them! 

Last night Kylie spent the night again since her Mom had to be at work so early. (Grandma Bridges kept her & took her to church while Casey was at class Wednesday night. thank-you G-Ma Bridges...got through with payroll quicker since I did not have Kylie. When Kylie got to the house she was wired!!! Ready to play etc. She had me up until 1:50....at one time she was wrapped around our 4 poster bed, just hanging around....I told her Papa that I hoped she was not going to be a pole dancer....thought she did not hear that...but she chimed right in & said....Mema J, I am a Panda Bear!!! She also talked about the weisaman...a policeman...don't know what she was talking about, to much tv I guess!!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma

Great Grandma’s Birthday would have been today. I have thought of her and her girls several times today. I know they miss her each and every day. Happy birthday and we miss you dear lady!

Today was run more errands day...will I ever not have errands to run....yes, one day! We needed ph-minus for the barn, bleach, gloves & food. Yes, not all of these go together...but just the same the farm needed these items! This is how it went...post office...valdosta...pick up Cayla...pool store & get the ph-minus...dry cleaners...I wash & dry the dress pants & shirts, but I let them iron, I just am not a good ironer...never will be cause I hate to iron...a little hungry...where else but Covington's...Cayla loves it, too...back to business...pick up bleach & gloves from catko...got to see Rick Holmes, love that guy...go to mall & get a dress that Cayla liked, hey, they are on sale...got 2 instead of 1, lucky girl...drop CJ off so she can go to work...Walmart...Sams...barn to unload these items, except the Stouffer's lasagna,which is what will be served tomorrow night for the workers...home sweet home...until I remember...YOU HAVE TO DO THE PAYROLL....I really did not forget...I just dread it! Did I say I am tired...wonder why.

Yummy

Today was very busy...Kylie spent the night, cooking supper for the workers!!! The one meal dish for tonight is Enchilada Casserole. I browned the hamburger meat & made the sauce earlier in the day & worked on some other things around the house while I waited for time to put it together. WB wants to feed them around 8:00, so I will try & have it ready....until Cole calls and informs me he is leaving around 5:00 to sell his peas in T'ville & get them to shell the 7 bushels he has sold & I can deliver the 4 bushels I sold..hmmm, does he not know I am feeding the 25 people that are helping He & his Dad pack their produce??? Better go ahead & put those casseroles together! Oh well, as I left to deliver the peas I preheated the oven...flew to make the deliveries...back home around 7:15...hope they make the 8:00 dead line...WB is a stickler for his schedule!!! Which is a good thing! I made it....3 casseroles on the table at 8:00...they ate all of it. Cayla made a surprise visit around 7:30, her clothes were dirty...imagine that! She helped me get it in the car & on the tables...thanks Cayla & we enjoyed you visit!
