943 - grey cup Sunday

Day 943. We enjoyed the movie Soul Surfer last night. Britt had come home to grab things and was off to Kira's for a sleepover. A chinook front seemed to blow in -1 when Sheldon got home and up to +4 when the movie ended at midnight. We enjoyed coffee in bed while the sun shone outside.

Sheldon shot coyote off the front deck on his way to skin out the deer.  I painted a mason jar red to go in the crate but the paint was terrible so washed all off, strained the paint and repainted it. I tried the new American Paint dark wax on the grandkids sign after clear waxing first then buffed, added the string, painted the mini clothes pins and staged it for photos.

 

Britt home just after lunch, for lunch I made the so popular on facebook right now, dill pickle soup! It was very good. After lunch Sheldon and Britt spent a couple hours cutting up the deer meat to freeze for sausage while I continued on projects. I put first coat of varathane on the body of the dressers and 2nd on the tops. I waxed clear then black the entry mirror before buffing and adding a hanger to it too.

I worked in the garage waxing and white washing the green frame, spraying they board for it another time then waxing and putting it together and hanger on the back.

Shaina arrived home tuckered after a hard day and soon was sleeping missing supper and everything. Sheldon hit the theater room and watched the Grey Cup while I started marking the 3 growth rulers. Britt came up to eat and after I started hand painting she offered to help me out. Supper was let overs and a fresh salad. I cannot get enough of my favorite dressing and crumbled soft unripened goats cheese..YUMMY!!

 my apprentice hard at work

Diego and Coco both, along with the cats, had a very filling day but this was Diego yesterday.. packing around this frozen magpie.. clearly he did not catch it, my money is on Mitzy but he proudly hauled it around for a couple days

Seems the Riders won their first home turf Grey Cup.. lots of drunk green in Regina tonight. Sheldon enjoyed even more football following it while Britt and I worked on the growth rulers and watched music awards.
