Good Morning & Happy HNT

Tuesday, after dinner, I looked at my husband and asked, “Do you need me for anything in particular this afternoon?”. He said that he didn’t, so I decided to make my Billings provision run. I called for a last-minute hair appointment - I was able to get in at 3:30. That was my first stop. As glamorous as I get, I visited some friends who farm on the west end - long enough for some iced tea and a bit of conversation. By the time I left it was windy, rumbling and threatening a storm. I ran into Randy in a parking lot - no not literally - I was on foot at the time. I got to see his new girl - very pretty!

I had a framed photo that I wanted a new frame for and a family portrait in a gilt oval frame that I wanted restored. I had planned to stop at the Frame Hut. By the time I pulled into their lot it was after six and they were closed. Oh well, another day, I thought. From there I drove to Rimrock Mall. I can’t remember the last time I was there. It had to be a few years. My friend, Alice Ann swears by these Crocs. I decided to try a pair, and I knew that they sold them at Village Shoes. I walked into the mall right by the food court. I had no idea where the shoe store was, but I didn’t think that I could get too lost. Next thing I knew I was standing at a store called Deck the Walls. I walked in and explained what I had, and what I needed. Then I went back to the car to get my photos. Tami was very helpful. She gave me some ideas - and together we picked out new framing for my old Snook Art photo of a Hereford herd. While she worked on that I found the shoe store and tried on a pair of Crocs. Funny looking? You bet! But comfortable - mine are blue. My photo was finished - great job, too. I left the portrait for their restorer to examine.

I’ve since found out that the family portait is a convex photograph
which I knew nothing about before visiting that web site. I left the mall content and a few dollars lighter. On to grocery shopping and home by 10:30.

Yesterday was spent in the garden and the house. We’re finally getting some growing weather. The crops and garden are coming along, and the weeds are doing well. I only have two rows to hoe - but they’re long ones.

Afternoon snack time had Ty and I looking all over the place for my husband. For crying out loud - the ice pops were melting. I drove up and down the lane and couldn’t find him. Then I noticed an extension cord - it’s bright yellow - so we followed it.

No wonder we didn’t see the Sugar Beet Baron.
He was hiding between equipment with the power washer.

I didn’t know that dogs like banana ice.
But you learn something new every day.
You can learn about Half-Nekkid Thursday here
and here.
Which brings me to my entry for Half-Nekkid Thursday:

The pickup was parked. I don’t drink and drive. If you click on the photo and look closely, you can see my new blister.

    I didn’t have to click to find the blister. Of course, I knew where to look! You best wear some gloves, girl, or your hands will have calluses just like the baron’s. (I can’t stand them but my grandmother always insisted that we wear them when hoeing!) Our first cutting is all stacked and we learned a lot about the new baler! Back to irrigating full force. Lots of beets ditched out around here and water in them. Root maggot is after them. Corn grows while you watch! 102 yesterday. Fancy thermometer in new car makes you sweat just to look at it! bonnie

    I clicked to see the blister also - they aren’t much fun. I bought myself some orange crocs, and then my sister surprised me with some red ones. I love them! Linn

    Crocs, huh? I always wondered what those ugly a$$ shoes were called.
    As long as they’re comfortable. I guess.

    It was good to see you and YES you did look loverly.

    ouchie…blisters suck. As far as the crocs go, those with skinny high arches feet shouldn’t wear them. i’ve tried, thought I was going to slop right out of them
