It’s been about 2 weeks since I posted anything.
Sorry, for those of you that may actually read my blog.
We’ve been busy every Saturday with craft shows. Tomorrow officially marks the “end of the craft show season” for 2009. We’ll be at Milford High school in Milford, OH.
It’s usually a very good show, but no telling what tomorrow will bring. Things have been slow this year – mainly due to the economy. Add to that the fact that the gym is closed for some kind of repairs/remodel and cold weather (high around 40) and you have the makings of a potentially slow day. I personally hope not. Marilyn has been eyeing a new cream separator (since hers died a few weeks ago, and we have a customer that wants low-fat goats milk). The new one will cost around $400.
All in all though, it may prove to be a nice day – it is the last Saturday I will spend alone with my wife (I mean, without our kids hovering over us – we’ll by no means be alone, with over 1000 shoppers walking past and/or into our booth). We may get a few moments to ourselves to talk about any subject we might wish to discuss –
This evening, I intend to frame in a 6 ft. sliding glass door on the porch. I had removed the rickety old screen door (which was handmade by someone that had the house before us – and was falling apart) and opened the wall up to accept it’s new accommodations last Sunday- and the rain, mist, cold and other things had prevented me from finishing the project. Of course, finishing this up only makes more work for me. I had to tear out some siding and must now procure new siding and frame, install insulation, windows, and siding inside and out to complete the remodel on the porch. We intend to close it in with windows and insulated walls so we can use it as a farm store this spring. So, I have a long road ahead of me…
Enough for now.
