A different life....



Here is a picture of our new weekend getaway...the Hoffman Hacienda. It is going to require a lot of patience, elbow grease, sweat, tears and money, but we are in it for the long haul. Home Sweet Home! Grandma Reva had a great quote the other weekend...she said "It's a great life if you don't weaken!"

After many weekends of piling various metals into the metal dumpster, it was taken away this past week. It weighed in at 12,880 pounds! Too bad we couldn't have done this last summer when the price of scrap metal was over $200 a ton! We feel much stronger for having lifted so much weight into a container. I guess the John Deere helped a little at the end. Dumpster two has now been delivered so we'll be working on getting it filled. I don't think we'll have any problems!
