Birthday for John

okay so you should know that my wonderful and great hubby is turning 49!!!! Tomorrow... How cool is that? I hope he has a great day.....I love you darling.....Happy Birthday.....

back to basic grey

now then we are at this moment returning to basic grey....The Pacific Northwest is known for the grey..drizzle yadda yadda snivel...
It is hard not to want to sleep for hours on end...close the house up after having the windows wide open for the last several months...
And the knowledge that the poor horses will not be able to roam and destroy the pastures that are still in a frustrating mess..
And the fact that hubby cares little for the dreary rain. The green is little reward for the misery hubby goes through at this time of year. I was hoping for a longer summer a brighter spring and a winter that was cold with less rain then anything. I find it hard to go pick the rest of the blackberries when it is this grey...

Alright enough of the wine...

Ang and I had a terrific time and as you might expect it ended all too soon....I am sure her hubby is greatful for her return, I on the other hand feeling a bit selfish would love a whole week with her....maybe not on the ranch and working just a veggie week..sounds fun, although I would think that if I did go I would miss the animals and all....

The week ahead will be busy.....as we basically did little to nothing yesterday....and one day off on a ranch will add up to a week catching up....
I know this from experience but just could not resist reading, vegging with hubby and enjoying him for a day...

well it is off to chores and work...have a wonderful day!!!!

Halleyville Husband returns to find TWO WIVES

And there he comes pulling in to find his wife count has doubled......He IS delighted as this man can now count many blessings..Double the trouble too I might add..We would like to thank Travis for loaning his wife to the Halleyville Ranch.....John had another treat in store...dinner was in the oven then on the table before he could unload his rig from his 5 day adventures ( I hope he will share with you all) from Cashmere, Washington to the shack in California... This dinner was a huge pile of Enchiladas one pan had shreaded chicken and the other beef....Now I have to tell you this my favorite dish that Ang makes and if you know it is coming for dinner....well just do not eat the whole day...as you will NOT WANT TO STOP AT ONE!!!!! trust me on this...I desire another but hubby had two...and then MADE US TAKE IT AWAY......he will continue to eat and wife # 5 will be accussed like the other wives of cooking TOO GOOD as a punishment to him!!!!Yes? I'm serious!!!!!

Now my hubbies wife count is as follows:
1)Jose / roommate and worlds best mexican cook on the planet earth
2)Steve / best friend of 20 years another grand cook ....Italy HAS NOTHING on this man
3) Me (temera) worlds 2nd best cook in general (her mom being the first)
4) Liz an amazing woman, cook, funny girl and care taker to many
5) Ang..amazing mom, caretaker, cook and great friend....she knows more about the running of this ranch/house then John


If wife #3 should die she would take care of everything and be able to make sure John would get all that he needed in help....


Anyway we are all glad he is home and Miss Buluga is very happy as she has finally settled down next to her daddy....

And the big thing we could not share was while honey was away we painted the trim a dark marlot....from it's old worn out green.....

well blessing and good night.....Bondo he HAD A GREAT TIME!!!!!love you tons...

2 girls free of hubbies

Well now my friend Ang has not been away from her hubby and kids for 6 years.....You would think we would get ourselves into a little trouble..but no WE WORKED...just as hard as if we were at home doing chores...hubby did call to say he was cracking the whip ....little does he know what we have been up too...I suppose the minute he pulles into the driveway he might but til then I am unable to share any secrets about our adventures until then...
Hubby has had fun with Bindo seen places in California that he had not seen before and is ready to come home.....well the horses still have not been fed and because we ( ang & i) stayed up until near 1am I DID NOT WAKE until after 7 this morniing.I am glad to beback in blogger land....will report longer later..tootles
