Sneaking in a little Bluegrass

Posted on December 12, 2009 by MobymomDecember 12, 2009

It hasn’t been ALLLL work and no play…. I snuck a little bluegrass into my crazy schedule. Last Friday… not this Friday yesterday, but the Friday before… (haha) my buddy Jeff and I crossed the border into Michigan and made a surprise visit to the Coonhunters as guests! Yeah! Hard to believe, folks were surprised to see us. We went so we could watch our fellow bandmates Tim and Rob play with their family band, the North End String Band.

It was a super fun evening, being on the other side of the pick, so to speak. We got to listen to some great picking and singing, heckle the band some, visit with everyone without having to work so hard! The weather was not great, predicting icy rain so we couldn’t stay the whole night, but it was sure fun to get away for a few hours and have a nice evening of bluegrass music out!

Red, White and Blue

Nothing feel so good as starting the day off with your own homemade jam on a good old slice of white bread. Something about that just makes my day.

It’ll make my month when I can get back to making my own bread too! But it’s crazy busy here at the mine, so I had to buy a couple loaves of the commercial stuff. But soon…. sooooooon……

So Far So Good…

Well… spent most of the morning in my jammies just putzing around and then I decided I had to do a little work… can’t hardly stand to relax, something I really need to work on.

So I “postalized” all the orders we had finished up the day before.

We used Endicia.com for our postage so we don’t have to wait in line and make people super mad during the holidays! HAHA… used to and I actually had people get mad at me. Wow, didn’t like that so now we just print the postage here, tape them up and pack them up and off we go!

I actually filled the entire back end of Jessy’s stationwagon! Jack is of course, helping to supervise the procedure.

I slammed the lid shut and lost a screw to the license plate!!! Crazy. And I couldn’t find the dumb thing… gotta go and get another set I guess soon enough. I stole those as it was off the van that I’m selling because my car is supposed to be done next week!!! YAH!!!!

So I headed off to Tractor Supply to grab my monthly homesteading magazines, some dog chow and a for sale sign for the van. Oh yeah, and some chewies for Gypsy because she’s a good girl and good girls get goodies from the Tractor Supply place. She rode shotgun with me and knows when we go there, she gets a treat!

Love walking around and looking at all the farm stuff and thinking, yah, maybe some day I can stop in and get a chick feeder and some halters and a trailer part and a 50 pound sack of critter feed and that kind of thing. Ahhhhh…. dreams.

Instead I dropped off the postaged boxes, grabbed a couple coney dogs and some fries and headed home for lunch, a little reading and well, probably a nap!

See ya in a bit!
