Our Last Full Day in the Country...for now

My art table is back to being a dining table and I added a fallish centerpiece!

Last night's porch sitting.....

Every time I open a fridge door - the cats scamper right over to peer in!

Tabitha is saying, "Say, Samantha! What looks good to you tonight?"

This morning Sherry and I were planning on treating our hives for mites but we changed our minds and thought we would get a little more advice first.

Chandy was admitted to the hospital in Odessa last night and they induced her labor.

I kept waking up all night checking my messages so I was glad we decided to wait on the bees and I went back to sleep.

Here's our newest great grandson!

Jax Dean!

We are so excited!

I have started his quilt and will be finishing it when we get back home.

We are planning on driving to Big Spring to meet him in September!

And to celebrate Bella's third birthday.

And Pierycn's seventh birthday.

I meant to do so much today in getting ready to go home.

That didn't really happen.

I organized what serves as my closet - the camper bathtub!

We don't use the tub so I have a clothes tree in it and hanging shoe bags to hold stuff.

Cleaned the tiny bathroom and lit a candle.

It's een so hot that I haven't even lit candles lately!

The camper stays several degrees cooler now so I celebrated!

I put fresh sheets on the girl bunk.

And I watched a movie. I read some. I puttered. I gave Louis Dean a pedicure.

I cooked some pasta and froze it in two separate bags and froze it.

It was a fancy kind - made into nests but after it's cooked it looks just like other pasta does.

Louis Dean says he hates pasta!

But he eats whatever I fix and it will be nice to add Alfedo and some chicken to it.

Sherry came down after work today and brought a small watermelon.

We cut it up in four pieces and sat on the front porch to eat it.

Really good and fresh out of the garden!

As a matter of fact - Sherry picked the garden so we would have some fresh produce to take home.

We are enjoying the giant roof over the camper/cabin!

We have shade on the front porch several hours earlier now.

The roof is 14 feet high in front and drops a foot in the back.

Gutters and skirting is scheduled for later this month.

As I was standing out near the fence line of Louis Dean's 'garden', I spied one of Mr. Jackson's cows watching me.....kind of like the way I watch them!

Looking up toward the front gate.

A friend of mine posted this to my Facebook page......

She knows how much I look forward to September First and playing my Neil Diamond CDs.

I love this place and we are so thankful for Dean and Sherry's hospitality!

Goodnight from the country!
