People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.-Zig Ziglar

Well, I've certainly been motivated this last week or so!
Hang on to your hats, it's gonna be a bumpy ride, cause it's probably the last time I'll talk to you until I get home!
The O/S got leave, so meeting him at the g-ma's!
I'm leaving Friday!

The potatoes are dug, the lawn mower's put away, the snow blower is out (Did I say the S word outloud?), went to the hair dresser Saturday; so when Curt makes a comment about my hair, I'LL KNOW IT LOOKS GOOD!, and I'm packing my bag!
I know Friday is 3 sleeps, but I got stuff to do!
And the 3 windows that aren't done? Might not get done...........
We've been hauling wood.
Here's a couple pictures of the place from the back 40!




We're hauling the wood from our backyard! hahahaha
First we have to cut it down.
Here's Ray eyeballing a tree.


And here it goes!


He cuts it up, we load up the wagon behind the pickup; I bring the quad & wagon, and toss odd branches & crooked pieces in it!
I'm SO over being stiff!
I did say, "Why don't we do this once a week in the summer, then the woodshed would be full!?"

Here are the treats I made for my stamp club Thursday night.


That's a little busy with the wall hanging behind...so here ya go!



In my best Halloween dish! (Plastic from the $ store!)
There's a small chocolate bar, and small bag of Cheezies in each!
I got the inspiration for this cute little bag here!

And remember this post?
About the wedding card, with the gift card holder!?
Gift card I made here!?

Well it's OCTOBER people!
So I made some Cranberry muffins, from homemade cranberry sauce...
I know, I know, I'm such an over acheiver!
Then I made some of these.....!


Gumdrops!
I got the recipe here!
Of course I made orange & (I tried for) black for Halloween, threw in a jar of homemade Strawberry jam, Halloween treats & called it good!
I'm delivering it tomorrow on my way to work!



I say I tried for black, but there's not a black food coloring, so they're a really wonky dark greeny/blue,  they are licorice flavored, so I should be forgiven!
And I didn't have orange extract, so I used lemon...I'm hoping the color throws them off!
HA!

I've also rounded up the last 3 people needed to work the casino between Christmas & New Years for friends of the Library!
I called our president to tell her she could sleep at night cause we had enough volunteers, and she called me a 'good friend'!
You bet I'm patting myself on the back!
It'll last until I p*$$ her off again, and she'll want to unfriend me!

I've got AVON to sort & deliver tomorrow night, and dinner out with the GF's, then stamp club Thursday! And Friday about noon, I'm off!

Better go!
We're still crazy/busy at work!
I don't know what's going on!
There's usually a lull after the spraying & farming until the end of November, but we're just moving right along!
Oh yeah, farming isn't done for a lot of people.

Talk to ya later!
Behave while I'm away!

Ta ta for now!
