A Redneck fire starter is how you begin a hobo supper:
With a good woman who has first cut up and packaged all the vittles:
And for dessert…S’mores!
Followed by some special knot tying lesson from Grumps. Listen and watch carefully, now, ya hear?:
These are a few of my favorite things…here in Mayberry…where we have lots of simple pleasures.
Goodbye, September.
Life is good, y’all!
KC has kept your chair warm, MM, but I am looking forward to you kicking him out! You have been “too long gone.”
Mowing Man is bringing the Airstream home today from NC. The job was only three hours away, but it meant he couldn’t be home every night. Bugger. We did not like that, but he was helping out Jason’s major surveying client. Major client. Getting paid for working didn’t hurt either. Plus, MM loves playing, um, working with all his toys, and is quite good at what he does, but it is time to park them.
Tomorrow he will go back up with the big truck and trailer to bring home all the equipment. D fer done, not that there isn’t more to do, but MM isn’t going to be the one to do it!
We have travel plans and stuff that needs to be done before we can leave.
Where are we going you ask? Well, we are going to Boston for a wedding. And there might just be a cruise thrown in. OK, there is. Stay tuned.
Happy first fall Saturday. I predict cool temps, sunshine, a load of dirty work clothes, and the need to empty a small refrigerator this afternoon.
It’s just another Mayberry day…where life is good, y’all!
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
What is your choice for today?
Good Monday morning! The fog has now lifted, both outside and (mostly) inside.
I woke up with a bugger of a migraine Saturday that laid me low for most of the weekend. I get maybe one a year, and was somewhat overdue on that annual calendar, so I made up for it all weekend. Bugger.
About the only accomplishment I got done was to upload some CDs into my computer, then download them into MM’s iPod. My guy needed some new tunes to keep him happily working! He is back on the job today, mulching holly trees and opening up lake views. Next week is his final week on the job. Hooray! He’s getting tired of mulching and fixing.
He is at least having fun researching for another cruise, this time to Hawaii. I’m sure he will find something, sooner or later. Stay tuned, Peaches!
Meanwhile, Monday means laundry and normal boring stuff, but I do have a bright spot—a sweet lunch date. I am picking up Will from pre-school and will have him for the afternoon. Lucky me!
It’s just another day in paradise, y’all!
Don’t jump, KC! No chance. Actually, he is on duck duty, making sure they stay in the water where they belong and not get up on the dock, much less the deck.
See how our lake is disappearing? That is normal for September, since this is a TVA lake that draws the water down now in preparation for the winter.
Missy was checking out the noisy crows. And I do mean noisy! She guarded the deck well.
So, have you backed up your computer information recently? Trust me, DO IT NOW! Sigh.
My local hard drive back up recently died; and its replacement will be installed Tuesday. I do have cloud back up, and I normally back up to my flash drive often (financial stuff ALWAYS). But…yes, Peaches, there is a but…I hadn’t backed up my recent Excel and other files for a few months. Shame on me! I know better! I do a lot of work in a few months for business, sorority, church committees, and just stuff…and a “few months” translates to loads of information possibly needing to be recreated. Not good.
What happened was that I shut down my computer for a Windows updates last night, fired it up today, and couldn’t get beyond the password screen. Black screen with a cursor…and a curse-e.
A quick text to my techie guru, instructions to hit F8, a reset of the computer, and I am now back in business. And yes, I am backing up and copying files to the flash drive AND the kitchen computer right now! I am not waiting for Tuesday and the external hard drive to get here.
Lesson learned.
Consider this your PSA for Friday the 13th and avoid the grief, my friends, and have yourselves a ginger peachy Friday!
