It's my party

Image
By the time this posts, yesterday was my birthday. And I had a GREAT day! Plowboy took the day off and we (all 3 of us) went to Joplin to have fun. We met some friends for lunch in Pittsburg, then on to Joplin. Plowbaby fell asleep on the way down, so we went to 4States Truck (Chrome Shop Mafia place) to check out some stuff there (Plowbaby slept/then we read library books in the car). Went to Academy Sports and I got some new tenny-runners. Next was our TRUE destination......The House of Bounce. It is a "morton building" that is filled with inflatables (ie. moonwalk type things you jump in!) So my birthday party was at a House of Bounce. We headed back toward home,ate supper at Jim's Steakhouse in Pittsburg, then had to make the obligitory stop at Walmart. When we arrived home, I noticed that "someone broke in" to our house, and left me a beautiful hydrangea plant on the kitchen table. It was Plowboy's mom, and yes, the house was unlocked! All in

My architectural salvage find

I got a phone call a couple of weeks ago....on a COLD, snowy Saturday morning...... The caller asked "Was I still interested in the salvage of the UM church in town?" Of course I was! Even though it was raining/snowing and the wind was blowing to beat all heck. I talked Plowboy into watching Plowbaby for a while so I could go in and survey the situation. Upon arrival, I noted that the poor weather conditions were definately to my advantage! There were only a hand full of potential buyers there for me to compete against. Even tho it was COLD, (did i mention how COLD it was?!) I was determined to stick it out and come home with lots of goodies. The "auction" was a silent bid type auction. There were bid sheets (most were soaking wet!) on each of the elements available for sale. You simply walked around, decided what you were willing to give, and wrote your name and bid amount on the sheet. I made a trip around at the very last minute to increase bid amo
