just a little update on the tiny house.

I may have mentioned this before...but I have a "tiny house " project. you see, I built this shop, its a 25x25 shop.,, and I decided to build a living quarters in it. Its really a nice "dog house". I figure when this woman frustrates the crap out of me, I can retreat to it, and feel the peace of the country. That peace has healed me before...sooo.. but I had NO idea that this tiny house project would be so demanding ....and HARD... omg. I can no longer get on my knees and spring right back up to get something..I now have to crawl over to something and pull myself up with it. Reminds me of when my aunt Reba would bend over to get a tooth that fell out of her head, and then couldn't get back up.

As soon as I can remember how to get more pics off my phone and onto this ...I ll post a few pics of what Im doing here. So today I checked the garden, and I worked with a hired friend to do the bathroom. We worked ont he shower a lot...but its still not finished. I swear Ive put so much money in this, and so much time, I think I may self destruct!

The wind nearly blew me away, I painted my fingers red, but I didn't cut anything off. Next trip Ill hope to finish the shower, and maybe be ready to put sheet rock up. I guess there are things in life that you just underestimate, but ... if you stay with it, you get it done. God Help me.... were going to get this done together!

(Hi Jenner!)

walks, movies, dinner! its date night for oldies!

date night! its so exciting.... it happens every Friday night. When we were dating, I so looked forward to date night.! I was determined to continue the excitement, and continue date night on Friday nights when possible. Tonight , our choices were to take a walk around the park, have a campfire, roast some wieners, and watch netflex, or go and eat, and make a movie. I looked on the movie menu and decided our option would be Batman vs Superman. My wifes favorite kind of flick. uh huh.

this is where the fun began! We decided at the last moment to take Scout, our faith ful little dog. He was excited for the first little hitch of the walk, then pam decided to take the long route instead of the short one, and me and Scout started limping. Ok I limped. But he breathed real hard. That's when pam remembered that I had a blister on my little toe from walking so much at work. and I picked cotton while I did it too. just like when we were kids walking to school. but that is another story. So l finished the walk with bloody feet. and then we decided to come home and get ready for the movie.



Pam was all dressed up,  and I changed shirts, but kinda forgot to change pants and work boots (which I walked around the park in) and it was pointed out that my jeans had bleached out places in them...and btw why didn't I dress up too? oops.  So we made the movie. Got there early. The ticket guy was amused when we realized "someone" had the wrong movie time. oops! so pam whipped out her popcorn box that was refillable when he told her that it was only refillable on that day..only. Wrong box for the "anytime refill". Oops!. There went dinner. ugh. so... we walked to Hastings, and rented a movie. I checked to make sure the right movie was in it! We ordered bean burritos with hot sauce and got bean burritos with hardly any beans in it. with mild sauce.  ugh.

Ok...so sore feet walking, no movie, no popcorn, cold burritos, ... now lets take a crack at this rented movie and see if we can make it to the bed without sleeping on the remote that changes bed positions that wakes us up in the sitting position. oops.

ok...I just discovered I cant get the ps3 to work so I cant play the blu ray disc. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Gardening, working, and pain.

Well, the kids popped off about wanting a garden... and how it would be healthy, and all that savings stuff. And about that time, the wife decided to go on a diet. Sooo... we decided we would "put in a garden" last Saturday. Im only now getting to type about it, because I was too sore to type. So our blessed son in law did the roto tilling...sorta... and threw some seeds down on the ground. I guess he wanted to be sure he got some squash and corn. Of course we offered to let him take part, but he said.. "nope. Im good." and...."who would want to till that again"?.. so I guess his taste of gardening was satisfied.

After we planted and planted, and planted... and were somewhat delirious.. (where did those little plants go? did we ;plant them already? No...I thought you had them...{we left them at home} noo... I thought YOU had them...) we had to help each other up. We make a lot more noise now, when we get up off our knees. Then the watering thing.... and of course we accidently get wet and the rouge sprinkler attacks. I warned her. Maybe she'll believe me now.

After the 2nd day...yes...it took 2 days... we thru our hands up and said "were done"... and hope the kids will water the stupid thing. you see, the kids live there on the premises, and can actually turn the knob and start the water sprinkler. I hope they understand that they may have to move it to get the whole garden covered.  So... that night...it was Aleeve, turn the massage bed on, (I had a pocket full of quarters!) and we passed out! the next day, we fell out of bed. I was thinking...we better have a decent garden.! The garden work knocked me out of checking the bees, which Im worried about, as I wanted to try to harvest honey next month! I was going to give them a good pep talk. Except for the "ninja attack bees".. I was just going to sing songs about Jesus around them. Maybe play a violin. Promote peace. I think I need a bee suit that looks like a bear. Maybe they would be nicer then. Ill check them all next weekend...which now is like...3 days. ugh.

I worked on the roof of married housing all day today. I mean ALL day. but I had my trusty ear nubs, and listened to some good ol classic music. some country , some rock. Until I saw a group of kids filming me I think...I guess I was dancing alittle too much. Those iphone ear thingys are amazing! I hope I don't turn up on Youtube... cuz I was not graceful in that high wind doing the Elvis leg jig to my tunes.

The wife decided shed hide out in a "budget meeting"  until around 730 pm tonight... it started around 330 pm. Geesh how long can one talk about numbers?  Maybe we can watch the last episode of Dr. Joie Hart tonight... Its kinda of sad. They didn't renew it I think. And its still not fall, so...no Longmire. Surely we can find something interesting on Netflex until then! Its my job to find that "filler"show until the real stuff we wanna watch shows up in September.

Well I guess Ive rambled enough now. Ill drift to another task, as long as I can do it on my buttocks. Im tired!
