The Boss and I didn't do too much. Drizzly, windy, ugly weekend we had here. The Boss left for a while on Saturday. He says he ordered me a gun. I have to laugh, "So, it's my gun???" He grins and says it is. I've not seen it yet. It comes in next weekend. Not sure what kind (it's a surprise) but it's a pistol of some sort.
I'm also off today. It's President's Day. Drives the Boss nuts for me to have all these (he calls off the wall days) kind of days off. "It's not a national holiday!" He is jealous. :D

Flew back to Ireland. Spent the fri and sat looking after the new nephew and 18 month old niece. So the parents could catch up on some well needed sleep. Usually I climb up things. Spent the weekend being "climbed on" ....... LOVED IT.. !!!!! :)

The step daughter#1 came in from Indiana and we had the two newest additions to the family here together, Addyson (stepdaughter #2's baby girl) who was born 2 weeks ago and Lucy (stepdaughter #1's baby girl) who was born on Dec 12. So the sisters could compare notes and Grandma was up to her elbows in grandchildern (G-ma was in heaven) I took my grandson to the world of wheels and checked out some cool hot rods. We had a good time.:)
Our three dogs got in a lot of baby tasting licks too:eek:

Ummmmmmmmm sho nuff .......... i rub em down wif yeller mustard n sprinkle a lil texjoy seasoning onnem.( Yall dont have that but it can be ordered via the internet) smoke em for a couple hrs n then seal em up air tite in sum aluminium foil n let em soak in bout 250 degree heat fera few hrs. they come out plum tenderful n kinda tasty. Truth is Itz the texjoy seasoning of which there are a great many that makes em sooooooooooo gudful.look on the net for texjoy products. every one of em izza winner.I will however warn ya the coffee is prolly a lil different from that stuff yall drink. but I am an addict. It is local here, n we take it for granted, But it beats evertin i ever tried.
i never have unnerstood why yankee fude is so bland.Trust me if ya try summa that stuff yer neighbors will swarm ya when ya cook.

ummmmmmmm If ya get sum anna boss n alla hiz friends eat ya outta house n home dont blame me. I kin rekkomend the bar b que seasoning, the seafude seasoning, and ummmmmmm ok alla it.The coffee is however a lil different it will smell up yer hole house n make yer pooper a popular place. This iz not recomended for the average Yankee. It may provide sensory overload.
Years ago when my children left home n went off in the real werld I hadda steddy stream of requests for MORE TEXJOY.

On my weekends I like to wander round the city and sit in coffee shops watching the world go by. On a Saturday evening I usually visit some local friends for food and maybe watch a film (projected onto a large screen in 3D).

I've been working on getting a hay field ready for several weekends now, got it harrowed and drug smooth, guy came and sprigged it early last week and we rolled it with a big drum roller filled with water so it's packed tight to hold what little moisture we have, also been trimming limbs and pushing around the edges of the field getting it cleaned up, next plenty of fence work, hunting season sure has put me behind.:D

Do you have hog hunting down there? Are you re-planting the hayfield? What are the grasses in your hayfield? They have to be different from out brome and alfalfa.

They have to be different from out brome and alfalfa.Yes there are plenty of wild hogs down here and they can be hunted year round, my dad will be 70 this year and he still loves to hog hunt and still has a pen full of dogs, he's been catching and tying them since before I was born, we used to go almost every weekend together but I just don't have the time I used to. This is the first time this particular field has been in hay, it's been in cucumbers,corn,peas,soybeans and fall string beans, now it's sprigged in Alicia hay grass, it's a type of Bermuda grass.
