Fun (and not so much fun) stuff that happened this summer

Charlie got his dirt bike all finished and was totally proud of it.




Only to have it stolen....wow what a couple of weeks we had after that...chasing down everyone that had seen "Callie" who stole it riding it around town.  We eventually tracked it down to a impound yard in Mendenhall and got it back....missing an ignition, badly painted, and a good amount of damage to the engine and other parts. 

We installed security cameras around the perimeter and inside the house and got two rather noisy alarm systems who are called Bonnie and Clyde.  Bonnie and Clyde are two Labrador mixes that are quite happy to live outside and make noise whenever anyone comes close to the property.


Charlie and Kevin went fishing!


This type of landscape is one of the main reasons I was wanting to move out of the desert of Colorado - just love it here.  These pictures were taken at Simpson County Lake - which is just north of Magee - about 10 miles from home.




Kevin got his tractor!






We met some lovely people called Snow and Sheryl via FaceBook marketplace.  They had advertised a mirror for sale which I went and bought from them.  I love it - goes perfectly in the new dining room.  They also had some lathes for sale, that I knew Kevin would want to add to his arsenal.  So I took Kevin to look at the lathes and we got talking about everything in life it seemed.  Before I knew I was buying an old tractor that they had on their property too :)  

Jeff (my farrier) kindly lent us his trailer to go pick it up.  Jessica and Sam were visiting at the time and we got some great pictures of Jess with Charlie :)

Kevin had some new friends in his shed as well this summer...


Bathroom upgrade


After replacing all the sewerage plumbing we figured we should do the last upgrades to the area behind the bathtub to tiles on the wall and floor and Charlie did an awesome job all by himself.  Gotta say it looks awesome!  We put some hardwood floors down in the bathroom too.   Which wasn't that easy, as there was a beam broken which had to be replaced and the whole sub floor had to be replaced.  These pictures are not in chronologically in order...apologies
