A Work Day at Jerry’s…

The Chekal Family team of graphic arts professionals has gotten a job.

Well, sort of like three jobs really.

Jessy is going to be doing all their photography.  Which includes the various cars for sale on the sales lot and well as doing all the photography for their new website and Facebook page, as well as any portraits and such they need of the staff.

Maggie is doing all their signage needs with her new company.  Mostly outside signs and vinyl labels for the sales cars as well as yard type signs and for sale signs.  She is also apprenticing three times a week, learning auto detailing, light mechanical things and just helping out.   She loves it!

And myself, I’m doing all of his social media work as well as designing a website and some print work such as business cards, t-shirts and post cards/flyers, that sort of thing.  And I’m working one day a week listing all the new auto sales on Craigslist and Facebook and the website (once it’s finished).  I also help answer the phones so the guys can concentrate on getting the heavy lifting done.

It’s pretty fun!  We’re enjoying it.  The extra cash is great in everyone’s pocket and it’s a good thing all the way around.  And the girls are getting hands on driving experience…   (Jerry says he’s going to turn Maggie loose out in the yard.. 40 acres and room to practice!  Oh no!!!  haha…)  Even Jessy has to move and pose the sales cars and such, and she’s fine with it.  Me…  I get to hang out with some super nice fellas and enjoy a little car talk and such.  It’s a win win situation and flexible and we are enjoying it so far!!!

Do me a favor…   if you’re into Facebook… drop by his shop’s page and LIKE it… for me?  Thanks a bunch!  I know you’re all over the place, but hey, it just helps and you can enjoy the fun and interesting social media goodies that I’ll be supplying!   This is a new thing for me and fun.  Just going to be putting up some fun links, car facts, neat photos, questions and trivia…

Our Harvest Party…

DSC_0002

We had our bi-annual harvest party get together last Sunday…  Bi-annual is correct, right?  We have one every other year, so it now seems!  Well, anyway…  we had a harvest party, camp fire, potluck Homestead Clan and friends gathering!  First order of business was getting some wood chopped and the fire going!  Thank goodness we had some expert help!  We tried out our new firewood wedge and that thing is a dandy!

It’s always fun to have a nice campfire an the early Fall afternoon!

Okay, now look closely… this is probably one of the last times you’ll see me chopping wood.  I am just not very good at it!  (Who called me a whimp?  Hmmmm? )  Well, considering that I had a great grandfather who died from a self inflicted ax wound, I believe it’s probably not in my genes to be given this task too much!!!)

Maggie turned out to be our champion wood splitter of the family!  Imagine that!!!

We just love have youngsters out at our little farm.  It’s the best thing to see them run around, have a good time and end up with a chicken or two in their lap!

The animals wore name tags.   Hahaha….

It was a good gathering, not a ton of folks, but as we like to say, the important ones!  haha…

Or well, the ones with nothing better to do.  I think?

One of these days, we’ll have a real big huge party and that will be so much fun!   But until then, we do love our intimate gatherings of friends!

Haha… Raven is such the party rooster.

See him trying to impress Lizzie with his dashing good looks and party attire.

Cody loves his little girl friends…  he’s such a little girl magnet!

Shadow came to visit for a little bit as well.  He wasn’t totally sure, but still, he enjoyed the nice pats and attention.

Hannah was really enjoying all the critters!   They figured out that she had goodies to share!!!

As it got chilly out, Buttercup showed off her new talent.  Self roasting goat rotisserie!

The silly doe, she would slowly walk around the pit, on the edge, warming herself and then reach a point and turn around so the other side would get warmed!  She’s a smart one!

We had such a lovely time, visiting and talking and touring and meeting livestock, just fun!  And good food…  warm fire, chilly fall night…  just a nice perfect end to our October social calender!

Miss Daisy was so tuckered out at the end of the party…  so much fun, treats and excitement for this little goatie!   She found a warm chair by the fire and dozed off!

See ya all in two years!!!!   :-)
