a man and a chicken........

Oh the horror of demolition

ok thems that don't know......
we are AGAIN redoing the kitchen....
gutting it again
and moving EVERYTHING this time
stove, sink..... dishwasher.....EVERYTHING.....
we are even removing a window......too bad we can't remove a doorway..... like the one to the BASEMENT......
ok well we can't sooooooooooooooo

I am tearing the kitchen apart
I got my little self where I keep the stuff I make lotions out of there......
I got part of my dishes out too
I realized I need to get my pots and pans out..my pantry out.......
and the rest of everything out.....
where the hell am I going to put it all?
.
.
.
.
we are going to remove and wall up the window.....
rewire and move the stove over.......
replumb and move the sink down then build in the dishwasher.....
( why can't I have a new stove? a drop in or slide in?)
we have a few more cabinets to add......and then......
.
.
.
.
. ( are you all ready for this????)
.
.
sure now?
.
.
.
I get kitchen counter tops...............!!!!!!!!!!!!
it has only been 2.75 years..........
not too bad huh?
not like the 18 years I waited for the damn kitchen in the first place...
.
.
.
.
let this be a lesson to you..NEVER buy a house without a workable kitchen.......NEVER EVER......
and if your husband/SO is handy and would put in a new kitchen........ please send him/her here for a week or so.....
I promise to send this marvolous person back well fed........
and not damaged in anyway.......AFTER they help me finish up in the kitchn...
.
.
.
.
once we light a fire under bernie he does get a decent job done but you really need a large fire under him
thankfully I got Carole..........
she lit not only a fire but put the fear of CAROLE ( said in hushed and respectful tones) in him.
I guess it was her listening to me yet again attempt to find stuff to make a batch of soap in the kitchen from hell...
she wanted that soap I was making as it is her favorite..
so there was nothing for it
the kitchen had to be finished.......
and to be finished it had to be rearranged....... that way I get counter tops!
yeah for counter tops
yeah for carole.........
and yeah for if and when I ever get through this kitchen.............

til next time
vi

ps: chickens, cats, goaties and sheepies are all well..

some sort of horror that JANE did to me.....

Ten years ago… was a horror, I was pregnant and didn't know it, ( ultimately lost that one to a ruptured ectopic) caring for my dad with alzheimers, and trying to fight my moron sister in her quest for her premature inheritance........


Five years ago… I was happily making miniatures, soap and dolls, Kiss the dog was still alive as was Merry the cat, we had just found Bernie's remaining Siblings, and one was here for a visit...... Bernie had just gotten part of the house redone...... and I was pining for a new roof.

One year ago… we were getting used to haveing two laperms, and amber the 4008 year old cat that keeps on ticking.
amazed that we had a new roof......and the eaves sided......worried about the heating season....( some things never change)


Five snacks… date nut bread and cream cheese, icecream, cheesecake, homemade applesauce, corn chips with cheddar melted

Five songs I know all the words to: I have no idea!

Five things I would do with $100 million… my farm my farm my farm....
pay off my bills and alot of my friends bills....... my farm animals..... and do some animal rescue work.




Five places to run away to… England, and a thatched roof cottage......... farm land in lancaster........ the eastern woodlands so anywheres in new england or NE, WILLIAMSBURG VA, Salem MA ( tis the season you know)





Five things I would never wear… shorts, stilletto heels, a red wig, fur, spandex

Five Favorite TV shows… EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW



Five biggest joys… animals, my husband when I am not mad at him, fall, a well stocked pantry, living in the country




Five favorite toys… I don't really have toys.. I work with all this stuff......




Five people to pass this on to… I won't do that to ANYONE............. ( unlike someone who shall remain nameless............ jane )

ALPACA!

RHINEBECK!!!! ~with pictures!

ok local color first......the my beloved tunis, followed by the bribery pictures...... ( do you know these fiberholic woman???? if so rat them out and tell us who they are.... ( and to you folks who's pictures are up..... shoulda sent the bribe money......hahahahaha)

life is very good when your chickens are healthy
Fawn got to meet that little chicken face to face and nose to nose today.....maybe when Bernie gets home we can take them both together and have a picture session......
Fawn wanted to wash the bird's mouth....... and that little chicken wanted to see if Fawn had delicious bugs or something in her curls......
all and all....
they enjoyed themselves
the little chicken had happy little 'whip whip' cheeps, Fawn happily talked to the little chicken and then rolled her her BACK.....hahahahaha
and then the little chicken got her picture taken and back to the flock.....

nice huh?

we are really chickens now.....
