Had a fun fun afternoon, and now I realized, after downloading the pics from today, that I totally did NOT take a picture of the other neighbor girl that came to help! OMG, I'm soooo upset about that! I feel like I left her out, by not taking her picture. But, here are the pictures that I DID take. Dillan and his 8 month old baby sister had lots of fun. Violet got a little too close to the decorations, and had a few for herself! LOL

How about these masterpieces? Amazing how everyone had their own way of decorating. Loved it!

Sorry I missed the party, CE. I got all the way to Effingham before I realized I didn't know where you lived. Asked at a gas station, but the guy didn't know of anyone by the name of Escape, although he DID say he thought I might have escaped from somewhere. Oh, well..... maybe next time.

P,s. Darn thing won't let me access the smilies!

Well, shucks, I figured you turned around bay in Wisconsin or something! Here you go, couple extra smiles for you. :blueflower: :banana: :claphands:
Actually, someday I would like to get a sign made, either out of a huge rock or piece of old wood, that has "Country Escape" on it. When I had show dairy goats, my "herd name" was Country Escape.

If I had more work tools I could do more but I have to drive over to my sisters house once in awhile to use her hubbies tools .Shame though that he bought all these nice tools and they sit in the garage unused .Every time I want to use the table saw I have to clean the rust off the top .He has one of those big ones too
just get them all shipped over to your house sissy, and let him travel to yours when he rarely needs to use them !

I wish I could mogsie I did not take my router with me and his says I have 3 ,yes he has 3 and shafts were all rust and it took me an hour to spray it a wire brush it just to get it to work .I love Espo (nickname ) but gosh why have them .They both work for the post office and I understand he works 6 days a week and he keeps saying when I retire I will use them .,by then they won't be worth much ,told him buy a dehumidifier for the garage .The most they got used is when we took apart the kitchen and took down 2 walls to open the living room up to it .She wanted an open floor plan .I even showed him how to make kitchen cabinet boxes and how to make the cabinet doors .It looks great and that was over 4 years ago ..He has a big lathe and didn't even know how to set it up .My tools are in my basement and it is well insulated and I have a dehumidifier because I keep my pond plants down there now .

eventually some people are just "too old to drive"

When is it time to turn in one's license?

An elderly couple were on the way to Tawas City Michigan.
They stopped at a McDonalds in Augres just off of US23 last Saturday.
They did not realize that they had hit a deer!!...
Someone in McDonalds had to tell them...
The old man said he noticed that the car was starting to run a little hot the last few miles

I guess in some cases, a picture is STILL worth a thousand words!

OK, I've got it figured out! But my seals are lipped, I'll let everyone figure it out for themselves. GOOD, THOUGH! :biggrin:
