Chickens!

Did I ever mention that I'm originally from Jersey?
Yep, a true blooded Jersey born girl.
(For the record, absolutely NOT like the Jersey Shore tv cast! Not even
in my worst hours in the 80's!)
I moved to CT in 1989 and stayed.
Anyway....
Since we moved to our little cow town in CT about 8 years ago,
MC and Tess have been talking about getting
CHICKENS.
My answer had always been NO!
1. Because I'm from Jersey and don't know anything about chickens
and
2. I didn't want to be the 'farmer' to take care of them!
(as you well know, Mom's ALWAYS wind up taking care of the animals!)
I made them PROMISE that the 'girls' would be their job.
SO...
they got 5 girls.
1 Buff Orpington named Buff, 2 RI Reds named Hannah and Summer and
2 Delawares named Pepper and Blanca
The girls are nice enough to produce 5 eggs a day. Some days, one will take a
break from laying.
Skippy and Pat the cat don't mind the girls either.
They're actually pretty comical.
So, Tess is now a Fancy Farm Girl and MC is just MC.
Liking all his girls.
Nuff said.

The Graduate

Well, it's hard to believe that Tess has graduated from 8th grade.
Yep, High School bound.
Scared?
No, not her!
Tess wants to hit up Staples and shop, pack her back pack and
get on the school bus!
SHE's NUTS! SHE's INSANE!
She's my little, oh I mean big, GEEK!
High School was lots of fun for me and I know she'll have a blast!
Oh, did I mention she's a GEEK?
RIGHT, she's a smarty pants.
She gets the brains (and the blonde hair and blue eyes), musical talent
and sense of humor (oh, brother)
from her Dad.
But, I did give her somethings....I think....
Oh yeah,
athleticism, crazy fashion sense and creativity.
Not too shabby if I say so myself.
*
Good luck to my not so little 'baby'....
show those kids at EO that Tess is on campus!
Watch out UConn, you're next!

Flea Market DEALS!

I was able to get to the Flea Market by myself this morning.
I needed it.
MC is in a fishing tournament at Candlewood Lake and
Miss Tess is still at her friend's from her sleep over last night.
*
I was upset when I first got to the flea because my favorite vendor,
Jim the Junk Man, was on vacation!
HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME?
I WAS ALONE AND COULD PICK THROUGH JUNK FOR AS
LONG AS I WANTED!
UGH!
*
I decided to suck it up and put on big girl panties and walk the rest of the flea market
to see what else I could find.
Thank God I did.
I scored BIG TIME!
Look at all of these treasures!
*
A slew of plastic animals for $2
Frozen Charlotte heads, 1/2 dolls and thimbles $10 for all!
Wedding Kewpies, tomato pin cushion, Santa Boot and tin $10 for all!
toy tin cups and saucers and rosary beads $1
Cafola paper chocolate box with buttons, Maple Heart Candy box with spools and buttons and
a leather NY hankerchief box $3, yep, $1 EACH!
elves/knomes $3
*
BONANZA!
My mood is totally changed...
