projects... perseverance...payoff

Well, I came home from town late afternoon...and Kylan was washing Ryans pickup. It was fairly cold out there to be washing pickups...but Kylan has been faithfully doing the job for awhile now. His payoff was when the job was finished tonight. Ryan had a camera that turned out to be not all that great, so he had got another one. Kylan had a hankering for that camera...so Ryan bargained with him to wash his truck for 4 xs...and it was his. So when Maurita and Kylan left for the supper at Mr Korvers, Kylan proudly had a camera to take with him to use!!

...and we have been quilting in our spare time around here...and the last row is on top. Its not finished yet...but almost. Makes you get a bit more enthused when the end is in view!

Over Christmas vacation Gwynndon started building a trailer with an old camper axle. Ivan decided when he saw that Gwynndon's heart was there, he was going to encourage it along. I over heard Gwynndon saying tonight that he needs to do a bit more tomorrow...and it will be ready for paint. Ivan was quick to inform him that it needs to warm up quite a bit before that will happen! :-) Ryan is even getting enthused about that project. Ivan kinda dropped him a word on the side, that since he might like to use it occasionally...maybe he should donate the treated wood for the bottom...I think those are in the permanent plans!

Since Thanksgiving when Evan S was here from ID, Gwynndon had his abode in the loft. Earlier he had carried the old desk from the shop up there. He found a book shelf in the ole' blue house, and they have a train set on the floor too. Its quite the cozy little place. Anyway he had been complaining lately that it seems a bit too cozy! So I told him that I guess he could put the single bed up there instead of the double one, that might give him more room. This morning he informed me that last night he moved back downstairs...with his bed! I am like what? Well, he decided to put the single bed in the loft, but since hes been enjoying more room in the double bed...he just felt like he was falling out of the single one...so he went ahead and slept downstairs in the double! Not sure what is gonna happen when our 'big' boys find wives!! Guess that comment was a bit off the original subject! LOL!

Those are just a few of the things that have been taking place around here lately!!
