The Clever Cutter

OOOOOOHHHH>>>> How I love my

CLEVER CUTTER.

It saves me soo much time.

This weekend, the request is for my famous

POTATO SALAD

I really don't mind making it, especially because I have my favorite tool....

THE CLEVER CUTTER

It was a gift from MOM, several years ago.
While I was down in Arizona, in February, I mentioned that mine took a DUMP....and needed to find a new one.



So, she gave me hers. It saves me so much time, in all the cutting and cleaning of produce I have to do.

I have my old broken one in the Camper, so when we camp, I have one there too.

Off camping, again this weekend, a little 4-wheeler ride, while we hunt for Huckleberries. We need to find about a gallon or so.

The Corn Patch experiment.

This upper picture was taken on May 5 or so, after we planted our seedling starts. This next picture is of one of our 9+ ears of corn that we can see so far.

And here is the latest shot of the corn. It seems like it can be growing inches DAILY.

If you can count the rungs on the ladder at about a foot each step, we figure about 10 + feet tall.
What an interesting time it has been growing corn!! I'll keep counting ears,,,,,,,,,,,,

We just got back from a week at Lake Chatcolet. Our vacation was just wonderful, we were and hour from home, so we had lots of visitors.
Here is Don on the tube.

Here is me SKIING, YUP MOMMASSTILLGOTIT.

Okay, I confess, IAMALOTTASORE, in areas I forgot I had!

Here are the boys, FIRING THE POTATOE CANNON, off the deck.

Now, here is a HUNK, enjoying the ride. He was the captain of the boat, we were able to borrow. And by the time our week was over, he truly learned to drive with excellence. He was able to get me up on skiis, several more times.

Brandon and Dustin did show up. They also learned to master the potatoe cannon.

The best picture of Don, Felicia and Adrian.




The Morning view from the balcony.

This is a cute picture of Dylan and Damianna.

We went through lots and lots of SUNSCREEN, had lots of SMILES and lots of SOCIAL TIME.

AGAIN, LOTS OF GOOD MEMORIES WERE MADE.

Dylans 3rd Birthday..

Well my first grandson, Dylan has turned 3. How fast time is flying.

Uncle Brandon and Daddy made him a TIRE SWING. We had a SLIP&SLIDE, a POOL, BALLOONS, BUBBLES and a COOL PINIATA!!!!!.

There were about 16 people. Dustin barbequed bratwurst and hamburgers. And then they had the CUTEST TINY CUPCAKES. I had never seen them before, but they were a great hit.

Being a Grandparent is such a BIG BLESSING!!!!!

Painting of the house,,,,,99% done!

The

HOUSE PAINTING

is now finished....... for now at least.

Only 2 days before we leave for vacation. It is 99% done. We are so happy it is over.

I did spend last summer building the "clubhouse", so this summer has been devoted to the Real HOUSE...... I do feel that is an okay trade off.

I hope to never have to do the painting on any house again. I cant believe how tough it is!!!!

The weather has been HOT, HUMID, and THUNDERSTORMS, have suprised me. I do hope that after all this, my butt has firmed up after all these trips up and down the tall tall ladder. I have gotten a nice tan though, LOL.

I did have to repaint a 10 foot panel on Saturday after a suprize thunderstorm.

We are very happy with the colors we have picked.
