Yes, life savers come in a variety of packages. Who doesn't love them? And speaking of life savers, I am sure you must think I have an obsession (and if I do I'm not the only one) with the Barn House Boys but once again, they
came to my rescue. Patiently waiting to help unload, along with another life saver, my sister Terri who had driven over from the Seattle area to help.
We were just a wee late getting to the show at Clayson Farm. The 4 hour trip took us just under 8 hours, we pulled in after 11pm...The original lifesaver, Dave the Driver had to work Friday and something about the fact that he gets up before 3am for work, causes him to be tired and a little slow by Friday evening...We did make it and he did indeed back the Circus Train
into this driveway in the dark!
(Well, he was being guided in by flashlight... ) I always tell him, I'm so glad I taught him to back up the trailer, it really saves me having to do it every time ... ;)Also waiting, (since naturally they didn't have anything else to do as the event was held at their house) was Leslee, her husband Mark, son Clayson and friend Erin. After backing into the driveway, (since by then it was nearly midnight) we decided to unload at daylight.
Here is Leslee (in the red shirt) hard at work on Saturday.
If you are wondering why the pictures are so small...(I think if you click on them they will enlarge) I must love this excuse since I use it so often, but I didn't have time to take pictures... Once again saved by Jermonne the Barn House Super Boy. When I got home late last night there was an email that he had taken 173 pictures at the Clayson Farm Event and I could look at them here, and was welcome to use them on my blog! Is it any wonder everyone who meets them loves these guys?? (Even Dave and if you know him, you will know this comes as a gigantic compliment, as he's certainly not known for his effusive praise... said those guys really saved us, as they were up at daylight helping us get unloaded and set up!) Well as you can see when I did this post the pictures I copied from him came out little tiny, I'm sure there is a way to make them big, but alas that is beyond my computer knowledge and I don't have time this morning to try and figure it out as I am once again off to the races, I mean swim lessons!
I hope you take a few minutes to check all 173 of these pictures out! Along with everything else complimentary that I can say about him, this Barn House Boy is a talented photographer!
Hi Joy,
ReplyDeleteBoy, I wish I could be averywhere at once. That looks like fun. And I can't quite get the Barn House event out of my mind. I absolutely loved the house and garden. I imagine it all at my house. Can you help me? :) I have too many wants and don't really needs. But it is fun. See you soon. Pam
Oh Honey-Sweetie-Pie...we would do anything for you!! We are just sorry you missed our "tail-gate party" behind the beautifully stacked apple crates. I made the mistake of telling Joe that it was sort of erie in all of it's beauty...and he jumped to to the conclusion that I meant erie in a way like "maybe there might be 'crate people' living in the crates that might get us." I thought it was REALLY funny and he quickly went into escape mode and fell asleep. Poor Joe. BUT I, your loyal friend, stayed up waiting (and gaurding the cooler of beer from the crate people) for you to arrive! It was a GREAT show and we were glad to help in any way. Next year we definitely want to do the show and bring the Queen (and King) of Tarte with us to protect Joe from the 'crate people." ;o)
