I Married a Redneck...

My hubby has a work shop in our back yard. It is equiped with various power tools and sundry pieces of wood.

I recently gave him a wood lathe as a birthday present. Since then he has spent some quality time out in his shop. Yesterday I went out there to see if he was ready to go, as we were meeting with friends that evening. I saw that he was covered in sawdust. His reply to my inquiry was that he was just about ready.

I pointed out that he would need to get a shower before going. He said that he would be ok and pulled out a hose--not a water hose, but an air hose attached to an air compressor. He then proceeded to "shower" himself with this hose.

In the end, he did go into the house and change his clothes.

I guess there is hope...

Our Nut Dispenser

We discovered that we have a nut dispenser in our freezer. Actually, we had a nut dispenser. It all started when I was defrosting our upright freezer to make room for some meat we had ordered. I was putting everything I could inside our freezer that is part of our refridgerator unit. I put things where ever I could...including on top of the ice in the ice maker.

After I defrosted the freezer I put everything back in the upright freezer...well, almost everything. Everything except one bag of nuts and dried fruit that that had been put atop the ice maker.

This ice maker is one of those that allows us to get the ice by pushing a lever on the door. It has a setting for crushing the ice as it comes out.

The forgotten bag was still there when my oldest son woke up the next morning and got himself a drink of ice water. He put water in his cup and then set the ice to come out crushed. As he started to take a drink from his cup he discovered something foreign in his drink.

"Mom, " he said, "there is something wrong with the ice maker. It is putting something funny in my drink."

It was then that I remembered the bag of nuts in the freezer. I spent the next half an hour cleaning bits of plastic, nuts and fruit from the coils of the ice maker.

NOTE to self: This would make a great April Fools joke....or maybe not.

Boy, do I feel silly!

A couple months ago we found ourselves the proud owners of a cute little kitten. We learned, from the people who gave us the kitty that she was female.

Well, today we took "Bessie" to the Vet to get fixed...

We found out later that this cute little girl kitty was, in fact, a male.


!!!!!!!!


Okay, so we didn't check the parts very carefully.

Next time we won't believe what the previous owners tell us.

Now coming up with a name....Bessie WAS the name.

How does Besito sound???
