Plenty of Work to be Done

 

Here it is Friday morning and I am trying to get up and make coffee. Knowing that making coffee will be the easiest thing I do all day... still does not make it that easy to get up and get going. We drank coffee and made the plan for the kids coming over. We talked each other up on how we would handle the two for two days! Our fears soon subsided and we were prepped for the coming event. Beds made ready and menus planned out. I think this will work out OK???

I built a fence around the side of our barn and came up a little short on the pickets due to a design change...some of you guys can associate with that so on the way home from the RV service center I had picked up enough to finish the fence and also some more 4 x 4 post for the barn's walls. I put an 8 ft post next to each upright in the barn 2ft in the ground with concrete to help sturdy them. This will help to cut out some of the sway in the gale force winds we get here in March and April. I still need 10 more to complete that part of the project. Digging all these holes with post hole diggers has been a daunting task.

Almost looks like I knew what I was doing.

The fence was a little easier to complete and I think it came out real nice...being this is the first fence I had ever built. It provides us with more privacy from the road. Now we can set out and not feel as though we are on display for the passer bys. Now that we have got this much done to our place we do not dread coming here for the weekend. Before we dreaded coming out here but now we really enjoy our own little campground.

I have to get everything in order today because tomorrow we have our two star borders coming for a two night sleepover. They will stay with us until Sunday and hunt Easter Eggs. Their big sisters and Mom will be over about noon time to eat lunch with us and then take the two little ones home.

Sherri and I both look forward to them coming but know that two night sleepovers can wear us down and leave us feeling sapped...

Somewhere in time
