Day 579 found the sleepless night continuing with Sheldon cell going off just before 7, seems his alarm did not go off and he was to meet a friend to hunt today. He jumped out of bed and grabbed his stuff and headed out in no time.
Lammles called at 9 am to let us know the new size boots are in... OK this means time to get up. Coffee with baileys creamer started out my sunny day. I put on Christmas music, enjoying a few new albums;
Blake Shelton : Cheers its Christmas,
A very Special Christmas ,
Colbie Caillat : Christmas in the Sand &
Lady Antebellum : On the Winter Night Today is my niece Stephanie's 18th birthday, Happy Birthday Steph!!! hugs from the entire Klan
Britt was up not long after waiting for Lexi to wake up. Kaylin brought her up an hour or so later. The girls watched Lexi and Coco wrestle for quite some time, they had fun but poor Coco had to take outside breaks to cool off and eat snow.
I put a first coat of urethane on the quilt rack then left it to dry till tomorrow. Britt went to check on Bird's wound and snap an update photo, the weather outside was lovely.
this is the wound now, she has healed amazingly shown above with scab and below removed, she is fairly wooly too
Kaylin was picked up by Gail to check out the Christmas market just before 1. Britt started to make a double batch of peanut butter cookies before I ran her to town to work at 3. She left me to finish panning and baking.. and eating HAHAHA Shannon went home just before 2. Sheldon had text he indeed got us some sausage meat much to the girls pleasure! Britt has offered to help cut meat again.
Kaylin went to work just before 5. Shaina stayed in bed all day sick so it was just me, left overs again :-) I made
raspberry vinaigrette for supper tomorrow, hope it is yummy. Aaron picked up Lexi just before 7, he did not have luck hunting today.
I updated the blog and perused the online sites and even sold our once cutting edge picture in picture 32 inch Toshiba TV, we bought it for $1600 and scored $10 :-) lesson learned over the years is we seem to get caught up in the features that cost extra that we never use. Think we used PIP twice, bottom line, don't pay for extras, a nice clear picture is all you need.
Sheldon arrived home at 9 with his kill. I drove the skid steer after his futile attempts to lift it and get thru the garage door. My driving allowed him to lift the head and get it in the garage to skin. Brandon stopped by around 9:30 to visit sick Shaina and check out Sheldon's catch.
Diego was beside himself not sure what to do from the moment Sheldon pulled up, here he cannot help himself from sniffing it but he sat nearby (whining) as Sheldon skinned it tossing him scraps along the way.
do you think Britt needs to make another bottle depot run, she was there not long ago! hard to see but the bags are full of clamato jugs and cans, Sheldon is quite the booze hound! :-)
I ran to town to pick up Britt from work at 10:30 then read.
Sheldon did not finish skinning till midnight when Britt drove the skid steer to get it back out and hung in a shed. Then he continued to clean the garage so Diego could sleep peacefully and came in for a shower finally at 1 am. It was along but successful day for the mighty hunter.
