Was a busy weekend for us here, but a good one too!


I had to work on Saturday as the Mother Goose literacy bus came.  Wow what a great time it was they read did games did some puppet stories had food and drink all for the kids, as well as books for the kids.  There was a wonderful turn out for such a small community and it being a pay day weekend (most go away for pay day weekends)  I think we had like 28 people there.  I think they will be back again next year so am looking forward to that!


My dd won a trip to the Oxen farm, she went a few weeks back with her Socials class and they had a great time, and at the end they had a questionnaire to fill out.  They said her answers proved she was very interested, and she had awesome answers so they chose her to come back.  She got to lead the Oxen, drive a cat and move hay, she and my dh were taught how to make a door hook with the blacksmith, and they got a certificate that they have been trained..LoL  The wife made a wonderful lunch for them as well.  They spent the good part of the day there and both dd and my dh said it was one of the best days they had together in a long time.  The Oxen farm is also a B&B so we are thinking we might want to do a couple days there some time.


W had a friend come over on Friday to see if I could help him get his computer running... I am thinking me I am not the one to ask, but said sure if you want. Well he was here from 4 pm till midnight and I did not get it finished... shows we just talk way too much  LOL.


 


Anyhow that is my weekend in a basket, busy but fun!

Very good weekend there, Lor! What a neat experience for DH and DD! Very cool thing for a Dad and DD to do!


Your post title reminded me of something funny DGS Dallas said this weekend. I had taken some books over to DGS Clayton for his birthday. When Dallas saw one was a fairy tale book, he turned to his Mama and said, "Could you read me Jack and the Beanstop?"


So cute! Had to really bite down to keep from giggling.


TTYL,
