Half-way through Harvest

I can't believe it ... we're half-way done! I thought all the projects I had lined up in my oh-so-cluttered mind would be 'half-way' done ... nope!

Last night we had the annual McRanch mid-harvest pizza party. We have it in whatever stubble field we're at. This year we were right off of the highway ... lots of fun! Friends & neighbors of all ages were there. A few were teasing me that I had a tablecloth (wasn't white) on the table and I pointed out that in Country Living magazine all of their outdoor shoots have table cloths! Next year we'll put out straw bales and then who knows, you might just see us on the cover of Country Living! Our saving grace this year were two things .... the weather cooled (we had to get sweatshirts on) and the biggie ..... we finally have a pizza place in town!!! Woo-Hoo!!!! I ordered a garlic chicken pizza and put that on the back of the pick-up (one of many there) for the 'girls". The guys just wouldn't have appreciated a 'gourmet' pizza! We had a few coolers .... an adult one and a 'kiddie' one! Next year I'll definitely bring lanterns out. A couple people asked where the preacher was .. guess they thought we'd be having a surprise wedding. Puh-leeze .... I'd at least have taken a shower! I did chuckle and tease my guy ... wonder if he got the hint?

Went to a crop on Friday night ... got only five cards done. Yikes .... I'm way too slow on some things. I was helping my neighbor with some of her layouts and I just am plumb slow when it comes to doing some things. I just need to do it! So, this evening I'll get my cards done and print out the recipes for the recipe swap. Got deco swap shopping done, just need to deco the (can't say it just in case Rox is reading this).

Heading to a funeral on Tuesdays. Always so sad to someone pass away at a young age ... any age at that. Arlene was 64 and the wife of one of my guy's best friends.

So, what else is going on in my life right now.....

To do list? HA... what is that?

We are in the middle of harvest as well, but with only 180 acres (part corn, part hay) it doesn't take that long. Good luck with that list.
