HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Grace can walk, stand and crawl all in a row. she finally is getting more independent and if she gets scared we remind her to crawl and she will go down on her hands- knees straight (like a bear crawl) and crawl a few feet then she finally drops to her knees and then crawls to your feet or a piece of furniture to pull herself up. She has also learned to pull herself up in the crib, last Sunday I went up to get her up in the morning and she was standing there looking at me saying Daddy daddy daddy. and she climbed up to meet me this morning too. I think she has grown an inch in the last week. She can reach her books on the end table now. Well enough about Grace.
I had today off so I got up when grace got up about 7 and went out to load wood. I finished loading my truck and loaded the trailer. I took the load to Floyd lake, I had to stack some in the garage and then the rest in another garage. I traded the load of wood for three trailers, two pick up box trailers and a frame for a tilt or dump trailer. Two of them need tires and one needs a hitch, but it is a good trade cause I won't have to borrow dads trailer and I can fix up my old one to haul my motorcycle and 4 wheeler. Anyway, the guy I traded with-- the Wood was for his parents they are in their 70's so i unloaded and stacked neatly in the two garages, I didn't have the heart to tell them it would cost extra to stack it, heck I did it all by myself too. Oh well, now i have to find some help to go up to Waubun to get the trailers some day.
Ok after I did that Jen called from home for me to pick up some pop on my way home (Jen worked from home today) So I Drove by the barber shop they were 5 shaggy dude deep, so I passed it up, then stopped at Norsemans to get my pop cap for buy one get one free- I also checked e-mail and made a few calls, left messages. I bought 4 soda and paid for 2, the 2 20 oz mountain dew cost me $4!!! that is wrong!! no wonder I never buy pop anymore!
I came home and started to split wood- i split a whole trainer load- loaded the trailer and wen in for lunch, after Crab salad lunch, I went out front to cut two of the dead ones down. I had to use the 4 wheeler and winch to pull one away from the house. I cut this wood longer and loaded it up to deliver to the inlaws. I got it all loaded a full load- hauled it to the Wick's and unloaded by the wood stove. I picked up my big trailer and headed for Frazee, got a hair cut and came home. Went to pick up Grace cause Jen had a hair Appt at 4:30. And had supper and played and wrote in my blog!!
Tomorrow we are going to the Doll's for thanksgiving. I guess it will be a full house.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

It gets dark early

Wow it gets dark early,
Had another great day- boy was it nice- only 40 degrees above!
I guess That's why the electric bill goes up in the winter.
I have tomorrow off so i will be delivering some firewood and splitting a bunch more.
i hope it is as nice tomorrow as it was today!
See you after the HOLIDAY!!

The turkey smells good

Wow turkey day is only two days away! I can't wait.
Jen had volleyball Friday so Grace and I read books and learned more words. She got home as I was starting to prepare the desert for Sat. night. It was chocolate chip cookie bars- they were outstanding- perfectly done! But don't ask Jen she thinks they were too doughy.
Saturday I took a load of wood I sold to Perham to deliver, along with Grace. I dropped her off at G-pa & G-ma Dolls. Jen had to work f0r Perham home care and was VERY busy, doing 4 visits and hours of paperwork. She says she probably won't take that on again any time soon- (lots of work on a weekend!) I left Grace to play with the Doll's while I took my venison to get processed and went home to cut more wood. i cut another two loads, Dad showed up just in time to get a load and take it home. Then we wentr to Luke and Margie's for supper. Spaghetti- It was awsome, Grace had fun watching Mason And Jade. Travis Heidi & Mason were there along with Kent. The Schossows all had pink eye so they could not make it, i don't know what the Bakkilas were doing? We stayed till about 8 pm till Grace was getting crabby and ready for bed.
Sunday Jen had to make some phone calls for work so Grace and I went to church at 9 am. she was good till about communion then got realy crabby, she wanted togo walk around - and I SAY NO> We got home I went to cut wood- I cut till 1:30 then came in for lunch then went out and split about 2 loads. Dad dropped off the trailer.
We had an awesome cornbread chili bake- Jen made from a recipe in the one dish meal cook book.
THE BEARS WON so it was a good day- I also got to watch"24" - I can't wait till Jan.
Had a great day at work again.
