Barn Raising and My New Job!

This barn is being raised at the fairgrounds

and

right below our home.

JWS is more than slightly

pre-occupied with all this right at the moment.

This is the view of it from our back yard.

It is a draft horse barn for the fair

and will hopefully be ready

for the fair when it starts in less than a month.

There are better pics on JWS' phone,

but he is gone for the day.

So how does this get a new job for me?

Well, I am to take pictures of the events of the day

for the local newspaper today,

but,

I already have a job for the day.

Deliver my MIL to dialysis

and

deliver the invitations for my niece's reception

(pictured later)

to my mother.

So, delegation is the key.

Jenn, although she does not know it yet,

will be the official

Leader-Vindicator

reporter of the day.

Delegate.

I love that word!

Thursday,

while my printer was in the hospital,

I found this place.

Carnegie Antiques.

What a great little store!

Hot, but lots of cool items and reasonable prices.

I found these train cases and the pitcher.

My last one broke and there is just something better about

fresh lemonade from a glass pitcher.

Also found this place right down the street,

but managed to control myself and not add to the hoard.  

My niece's invitations,

all ready for my Mom to address this week.

And,

just had to share this here.

I did put this on Facebook last week.

I had to snap this pic while my car was filling at the local gas station.

What a way to haul your boat!

And as a final note/question.

How many of you still have a gas station that has an attendant that pumps the gas for you?

We do here and I love it!
