Wednesday...

Well, can you believe it? The temps here in TX have been 101 to 105 almost everyday...and the Hill Country is no exception!!!!
Now, bring that into focus...My Rancher is working everyday in that heat...(and it's been muggy there folks so it feels like 110!) and every day...something great is happening!

Yesterday was no exception. Wait til you see what he's done now...

In case I have said it honey...I love you and I am thankful and appreciative of everything you are doing. really. :)

Enjoy the ride...I can almost hear the awes and gasps now!

Picture Time!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!

This is the MAN OF THE HOUR....and hours...and hours...hours...hours...

Remember this stage?

And now...all refreshed on those stages?

Then.....

Have you met the neighbors?

This is
Denise and Keith Clark...
of the Rocky Ridge Ranch

Next to Ours...

and then there is

Molly and Mark
of the Corner Oaks Ranch
down from The Clark's

WELL....
let me fill you in from there....

Our new neighbors,
which we have introduced to you in the above photo ids...

came over on Sataurday...
while on vacation with their brides...

(also pictured above)

and what you are about to see
is ONE day's work...
When it was all over,
Bill couldn't stop smiling - we were so amazed!
Make no mistake, when these three guys get together...
THEY GIT'R DONE!!!!!

They certainly helped Bill make up what the rain days shorted him last week....
not only did they help him make up the time lost,

but they lifted his spirits and helped him gain

another second wind!

That Man of mine has worked so hard everyday...
and when he's not out there working,
it's because he's off working for his own business!

His fingerprints are on every nail...board, screw, tool, floor, truss,

I-beam, and in every mili-inch of this house and land...
AND TODAY....
my man had some carpenter/teacher/worker help!

What wonderful Neighbors we already have...and like I said earlier, they came over,

and by the end of the day, the ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR

was framed!!!!!!

That was even with a run into Kerrville we had to make for more wood...
We had run out!

After getting back two hours later, it was 4 p.m.
(and no exaggeration here...)

by 8 p.m. that night...
The rest of the six walls and three window frames

were up and BEAUTIFUL!

Molly was sweet enough to have

brought a CHILLED watermelon over

and the guys- were physically
DONE!

Oh, did I mention the temps were between 101-104 that day?

NOT TO MENTION....
The ladies did no less....let me tell you....

Bill and I were invited over Friday night for a GOURMET FEAST -

We had the Pork that they shot earlier (the only thing we did was smoke it)

and then they fed us all the fixin's you could ever imagine!!!!

Then Saturday morning,
they wanted us to come back for a BRUNCH...

!!!PLEASE!!!

I didn't eat again that entire day! (except for the watermelon)

BUT THOSE GIRLS FIXED:
Pancakes, Bacon, Eggs, OJ, GREAT COFFEE...
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

Amazing.

Speechless.

hey neighbors....

two words about your next trip:

!!!!

OUR TURN
!!!!

T-H-A-N-K -- Y-O-U!

really.

so....without further Ado...
