Boys and their toys...

What a beautiful day this turned out to be and when the weather is nice my husband loves to work on something! Anything that involves his play toys (2 of them pictured here) then he is a happy camper. He has always said "If you have to borrow or rent something more than a few times you should own it". He wanted another bigger truck to haul his machines (Mini Excavator, Bobcat, trencher, etc.) so that he doesn't tear up his daily truck. He bought his newest truck (in the front) at an auction and it was yellow. He did some "horse tradin'" (what us country folks call trading out work) and scored himself a paint job on this beauty. He then drove to South Dakota to pick up this bed.... and he says I am crazy for driving a long distance for a "good deal"! We used our bucket truck to place the bed on the truck and just need to "bolt her on"! His little "project" is coming together nicely and he still has a big ol' smile on his face.... he loves that little truck....

Grandma Ruby's Flowers

Family is very important to me and last fall we lost someone who meant the world to us. Grandma Ruby passed away September 11, 2009. She was a loving, kind and giving woman. We have remodeled her house and is currently for sale. We went over last night to take a truck load of dirt to fill in part of the yard and these were the only 2 flowers that have bloomed. She loved her yard full of flowers and it made me smile to think that Spring is now here and how happy she would be of her flowers getting ready to pop out of the ground. I'm going to miss her home and the things she loved so much but the many memories will never be sold. I don't think she knew the impact she had on me....
