Quarantine 2020

Hello everybody. I'm coming to you at the end of our Spring Break. A Spring Break that has been like no other. We spent a lot of time outside. Carl cleaned out the shop and we would go out and play darts, ping pong, or punch the bag. The gnats were pretty bad at the beginning of the week but got better as the week heated up. We went on a few late afternoon truck rides. Backroads are always fun when it's muddy. We were finally able to go fishing on Thursday afternoon. Carlie and Trey went out in the boat, while me, Carl, and Makena stayed on the bank. Nobody caught a thing, but we had a lot of fun and made lots of memories.  Makena got her boots stuck in the mud and had to leave them and let Carl pull them out. I guess you had to be there. It was hilarious.

Makena and Trey battling it out in ping pong. 

Five Mungers piled in the Ranger.

We saw a snake....Makena shot him.

Carlie was queen of the fishing boat!

Makena Faith absolutely hates fishing in boats..especially small, aluminum boats.

Trey and Carlie in the boat...I was shocked that she agreed to go with him.


Saturday was extremely warm. Carlie went to work and the rest of us worked on the new chicken coop. 

Get it!

Look at my guys...they each have their own way of doing things and of course, each of their individual ways are "the right way". I'm thinking a father/son business will NOT be in their future!

Carl had to cut out the door hole and several window holes. We know that it the summer it will warm up pretty quickly so we are doing are best to give them windows for both air circulation and some light. Carl worked hard. He knows how much I love those chickens. 

We still have to paint the bin itself, but the door and window trim got painted a bright red.

This kitten is usually a touch-me-not, but she has gotten used to us being around during quarantine.  She's still a little awkward when it comes to affection, but she is realizing it feels good!

Well, that pretty much sums up our Spring Break Quarantine 2020.
We stayed. We played. We (kinda, sorta) had fun.

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
