Deer season, family and bah humbug! Oh and YEAHHHH EBAY!!
Wow, time has been flying by with all the things going on here on the farm. Deer gun season is over and our neighbors son got a button buck in our front field! How great for this kid as it's his first year hunting and he worked really hard for this, taking gun safety courses, laying scent, learning to track and most important learning patience!
The other neighbors got a big ol buck also, and of course had to take it to the butcher on a trailer for all the world to see, couldn't put it in the bed of the truck, then no one would see it!
As for the family and bah humbug well I'm NOT impressed, all the kids on hubbys side of the family are in a position where there is not a lot of spare cash floating around, one family has 4 young daughters and a new big house to pay for, the baby brother and his wife have a new son and house to pay for, we have the farm we're working on paying down. You'd think that all would agree that the time as family and sharing together would be the important thing for the holidays but nope, we get phone calls asking us what we want this year. Wish I'd been the one to answer the phone as I'd have been much more direct and discussed NOT exchanging tons of gifts. I'm also NOT happy that we're expected to give gifts to all the nieces/nephews, now this is something that my family never did! Besides, we don't have kids, so should I ask for gifts for our "kids", the dogs and cats in the house? (oh yeah, that would go over REAL WELL!)
Ahh, I've never been a big fan of the holidays, always just tried to plow my way through and it looks like it's going to be just another year of the same. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
And the ebay, woooooooooohoooooooooooooo! MAN OH MAN!! Hubby has graciously allowed me to start selling part of his railroad collection and man those collectors are heavy hitters and bidders, gotta LOVE EM! They've been great to deal with and pay lightening fast, and they REALLY want the things we have for sale! Anyone want a locomotive headlamp control switch? Got one on there now :)
If I can continue this way with the ebay we'll be in GREAT shape come spring!
Ta for now!
