COMING SOON TO OUR HOUSE!

We got a call last week about setting up for the delivery of our Hot Tub. Roadway delivered it this afternoon. When we ordered it thru the Army/Airforce Exchange online they said that it could only be delivered to the end of our driveway or garage. But the driver had a Penske truck with a lift and said that it would be easier to back up to the deck and slid it off onto the deck. Chuck had already taken the railing off and was working on redoing it. We couldn't believe that the driver would do this. He said that what "good ole boys" do. Here we thought that we would have to wait for Brian to bring his skid loader over to do this. Now all Chuck has to do is run the 220 electric and the GFI in the breaker box and we just need to get the chemicals for it and fill it with water. Can't wait! The weather is getting cooler in the evenings to enjoy the hot tub.

Sunday Chuck talked me into going arrow hunting with him. Little did I know that we would walk up and down hills and walk about 2.5 miles! To much for the first time out walking for over a month! I will have to take pictures the next time we go so everyone can see how steep the hills are here. The last hill we walked up was tuff and I kept watching for the big black bull! I had to take a hot bath when we got home as my calfs and knee's were really hurting. Now I can just jump in the hot tub and really relax afterwards. We finally did something for ourselves instead of for the kids!

Tomorrow the neighbor is coming over with his tractor to mow Jim's field. It really is high and will look better plus next year he will have a lot of good grass and clover to eat. We still soak alflaf cubes for him and will increase the amount in winter. Its hard to keep the weight on such an old horse but he is doing better since they moved they female horse to another field. Jim has worn a path all along the fence line walking back and forth chasing after her!

Well I want to get back to crocheting the kitty pattern baby afgan. Next week I plan to buy some flannel material and make a bunch of receiving blankets. Walmart has a nice selection of flannel at $1 a yard in pretty prints and pastels. The Grandbaby (suppose to be a girl) is due Oct. 28th so I don't have a lot of time left. I have already made her 2 afgans and a quilt. Love sewing for little girls. Glad that I kept all my patterns from making clothes for the other 2 grandaughters. The like me to make their Halloween custumes to. Last year Kaylee was a Geisha girl. I even found her a wig at Target. She looked so cute.
