Sky Bridge and Zipline

The new addition to the Treehouse is actually a second platform about 8X10 attached to the Treehouse by a 30 foot elevated walkway that we're calling the Sky Bridge. It's not yet finished in this picture - more hand rail work to be done.

In other Zipline news - Glynda finally rode it - leaving only one family holdout - that being Beverly!! Jorge also rode it becoming the oldest person, at 78, to do so. Xander is the youngest and I believe that he was a year, 2 months, and 2 weeks old when he did it (Justin will have to confirm) and that still leaves an opening for James to beat it with Harper! I'm sure that Daniel has the record for most rides and that gives the Reyes family a sweep!

A clue!

Ref my post from last Wednesday - this is a clue!

Good news, bad news

My tractor repair guy just got back into town from a hunting trip and I stopped by to get an estimate on the repair of my lawn mower that won't start right now. If the problem is what he thinks it is, it'll cost me about $250. That's the bad news.

The good news is that I saw in my daily email reminder from Chase bank that there had been a deposit into my checking account. It was the $250 from the Seniors Protection Act of 2010. That's the good news.

As they say - easy come . . . .

Of course I still need to buy that $400 tire for the big tractor:(

Thanksgiving Day watch

So, this time of year we're usually working on the longer term things to get ready for the big gathering on Turkey day. Last year, since Deanna and Cody were not planning on coming, they were in charge of the weather and they did great! This year, the ten day forecast says we need help again! It suppose to be about 70 degrees BUT there's a 70% chance of showers forecasted now. We'll just have to keep watch and see what happens as they day grows closer.


Meanwhile, something else is happening. We were sitting in the Treehouse on Monday (me, Glynda, Alex, and Daniel) enjoying coffee and hot chocolate, enjoying the futon we just moved in and enjoying the morning very much. It was a perfect time for the mind to start wandering - and that's why something is happening now. I can't tell you what it is but here are a couple pictures. There's a trailer behind Alex's pick-up.



It's pretty cool!!! See you Thanksgiving Day!!
