Monday Muse

This is was Mean Ol' Mama's first view of the day. How many more days will be full of errant shoes, plastic army men set out to conquer, and easels full of Picasso-like paintings? Should probably enjoy it while the owners are still at home...

Thursday

The Austinson kids did well at the 4-H Forestry competition. The Girl won Third Individual and First Place Junior Team.
Branch won First Place Junior Team and First Place Individual! Anders also won First Place Senior Team and First Place Individual, and Josiah won Second Place Individual.
Not too shabby for a bunch of rascals...

Think About It Thursday

Today Poppins and Branch hooked up a mid-size livestock trailer and hauled her all the way to her new home...(Ours)...

What's Cooking Wednesday

Oh, ye over-ripe bananas languishing in yon fruit bowl
Whilst Mean Ol' Mama has a bit of extra time -
Lo! she seeketh ye olde banana bread recipe from days gone by
'Ere we sleep tonight, we shall thus dine on a fanciful feast of heretofore mentioned
Bananas-done-right, south Georgia style.
 
(Who has had too much caffeine this morning, hmmm????)

Tuesday Tour

This cacophony of books is in the hallway. There's a crate for each child under 13 and one for Mean Ol' Mama. There's scrap paper, markers, etc. for activities. It looks a bit messy, but Spanish/English/Greek/Latin/and all the subjects take up quite a space. Works for us so far...
