I woke the boys up this morning by shaking them--not too roughly. It took a little bit to actually get them out of their snug blankets, but the promise of eggs made to order helped. I learned the Philip likes his sunny side up (I had never actually made eggs that way before), and Joel likes his done--like Katherine.

The plan was to work for about two hours this morning, then go back after lunch and work all afternoon. However, it started to rain right after lunch. Now that's it's practically four o'clock, the sun has come back out, but it's really too wet to work. Besides, it still might rain some more. On top of that, I just went and washed my hair, so I really don't want to go get all sweaty and dirty again! :D

The boys got the back section of chain-link fence removed. They used the pick-up (doubtlessly to their delight) to pull it out since it was buried down several inches. When I took the stuff out up by the road I used a shovel...of course, it was hung up in a lot of grubby stuff. I never even considered using the truck!

Meanwhile, I put in five dead-man reinforcements and stretched four wires. They are going to have to be tightened up yet again. I already re-tightened them once or twice (depending on which wire we're discussing). The post kept shifting over. I think some it will fix itself when I get the connecting fence stretched.

Anyway, I thought you might like some pictures of the cousins. :)

How they are most of the time. :D

Yours truly...with all the accoutrements: hat, keys, boots, gun, and the wallet and bandana which you can't see. Ready to roll. (Those pants now have brown knees. :D)

Had to have a truck picture...

This one isn't really very good--but the engine was running and I was shifting gears! Off to work! :)
I think we may be taking the boys to church with us tomorrow--and then out to eat afterwards. I suspect this will be their first ever time going to a Presbyterian church! :D

Wow, Racheal that is a good looking truck!! I have been picturing in my mind the old pickup we road in to dump mineral to the cows that time we were down with Enroe. This is a slick lookin' ride.

That's not the same truck? Or did you ride in the old blue one? I don't remember. Anyway, this truck is dented up in several places--it is a ratty ol' truck for all intents and purposes, but I like it! Particularly with the new engine. :D

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
