Thank goodness my personal savior, made a delicious dinner tonight and forced me to take a mini break:
Check out my girl's pockets. Now that's class!
Friends, farmers, countrymen... what do you think I should do?

Me thinks you and your beau should come to Slovenly Manor on Snake Lake and rebuild the shack I call home. And plant a garden. A big fat good one. Caring for the aged will help round you Jess. Think about your granpa Ronny. He is going to require just a whole bunch of care....does now really. My shack could use an exterior paint job, a real yard, and a bathroom closer to me crib. My time is currently spent eradicating the viper on said property and I have no real taste for actual work. Work is for the young and there you are.
