Last time I told you about life changing here on the farm. Today I came home from work and there were about 10 Amish guys putting up a barn in the pasture. I knew we were getting a new one (we've been saving forever) but when I left this morning there was nothing, I came home at 2:00 and the frame was already up. Sometimes all the progress even amazes me.
I wanted to tell you a little more about the Country Living magazine conference. I met some pretty neat people and saw some pretty amazing stuff. Some was real cool and some made you scratch your head and say, "What would I ever do with that?" This one lady that I met made the most adorable picture frames. Her name is Marnie. She makes them in her garage workshop. The ones that I saw were about a 5 X 7 size. Add the most up to the date fabric. Instead of those nasty picture holder things on the back that you break a nail trying to open or just breaks off completely; she used ribbon to hold the picture in. Changing pictures could not be easier. I am thinking Christmas gifts for my family. Like me, she works a part time job outside the home. She doesn't have a web site yet, but when she gets one I will share it. Marnie and I shared the same nervous elevator when our pitches got delayed. Talk about two nervous nellies!!! But she encouraged me to get through and I hope I did the same for her. Now just to hear back from Country Living.
Just wanted to catch up a bit. It is fixin to rain tonight and through the weekend so I have to catch up and get a head on a few chores. Talk with you later
See ya on the farm

Welcome Charlotte! Thanks for your sweet comment on little byrd. You are right - the time does fly by and it is nice to have a reminder to hold them close! I hope you start putting some pictures up as I would love to see your farm! I was worried it would be difficult but it is actually quite easy.
