Where Has the Month Gone?

As I hang my head with shame

I can not believe

it's been a month

since I last did a blog post!!

 

Fill up your cup and let's

just review what's been happening

in Sall's Country Life...

(I hope you like the circus,

cause that's what it feels like most days!)

 

Oh and yes...

we even went to the real one

in Kansas City!!

 

 

The grand kids all got to spend

a day with Grandpa and Grandma Sall...

short of $20.00 refreshments,

they can get that kind of 

entertainment at the farm

any time they want,

but the Barnam &Bailey show was quite spectacular!!

 

 

We got our son's family moved

out of New York and 

into Iowa!

We were dumb lucky enough to

be in Iowa City to help unload

box after heavy box, finagle huge art work

into small spaces, and sweat like pigs 

carrying it all from 2 lots down the street

(as the moving truck was too big

to park beside their house!)

UGH!

This old lady found out she is out of SHAPE!!

Back at the farm....

the tomato and pepper harvest

kept me busy!

Salsa,

Tomato Juice,

Sweet Relish,

Hot Relish,

Canned Tomatoes...

my kitchen has 

been "SMOKIN HOT"!

This will be the last week

for tomatoes,

frost is expected this weekend...

thank goodness!

It's time to get out 

of the kitchen and back 

in to my crafty room!

In between canning 

I managed to get a few memory blocks done...

a few orders have been filled...

this was a fun one 

for a sports lovin' Freshman Girl...

Sall Construction has

been busy building a house

for a good friend of ours...

the project started in mid July

and kept me running since then...

Just a simple, no frills kind of house

But, being the contractor's wife,

the painter, the stainer,

the decorator, the shopper, 

the book-keeper,

and the inspector...

well, let's just say I'm swamped!

Back and forth from the building site

to my kitchen...

Sioux Falls, Mitchell, Huron

for everything from paint

to furniture...

Do you know it's been 28 years since I shopped

for a couch?

Boy, did I get a bad case of sticker shock!!

Three trips and 5 furniture stores later,

we picked out a couch, 2 chairs, end tables

and a desk!

Furniture arrives tomorrow,

I hope Farmer C. likes his new 

furniture as well as he likes his new house?

Things are wrapping up at the job site...

wrapping up in the garden...

Fall is upon us!!

Time to start thinking about winterizing 

around here....

 

 

One thing I love about winter,

 it's a little slower pace...

and more time for 

layin' around!!

 

 

Well, now I'm caught up!

Time to go work on some curtains,

and deliver 

a belated birthday present

to my sister!

I owe her a blog post too!

Stay tuned for that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a happy day.
