The end of 2013 and looking forward to 2014

Well Christmas is over. I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family and friends. Mine I guess you can say was uneventful. At least nothing earth shattering happened.  Like allot of the country we had a white Christmas. This is the whitest Christmas we have had in a long time. This picture was actually taken the day before Christmas. On Christmas it snowed lightly all day so there is even more snow piled up.  Anyway now that 2013 is almost over, finally. It's time to start pondering the future of 2014. What will this year hold for the world? What will it hold for me? What kind of new dramas will be exposed?(As if we didn't have enough in the last one).  The world is run by drama. Some is bad like losing lots of money, dealing with drama queens, con artists, politicians, control freaks, people that are able to really work but would rather find away to get something for no real effort on their part or someone being very selfish and blaming others for their own a

Affluenza?

How did we get to this point that this is an excuse for doing something really bad and it's excepted? But that's exactly what happened to this person. I can't really call him a kid and he is not an adult. He, in my book, is a very spoiled person. With parents who are using everything they can to get him out of murder. They seem to be proud of their rank among us.  But it's the one thing that keeps the wedge between the haves and the very hard working people of the world. And it is only getting worse.  The ones with lots of money are doing all they can to make sure the ones who have very little stay that way. Plus they like to rub it in the average persons face from time to time. With the mega Millions jackpot over a half a billion for tonight it will create another one or more to join the club. Everyone wishes to join this club but if you really don't use your head you will be worse then suffering from affluenza. You will be a target for every lunati

Another Project finished plus a ponder

Well I have another project done. It's another coaster set.  Well it will be awhile before I can post any new projects. Why you ask? I'll tell you why. I've got to make three of the fish coaster sets. You know I made it before I decided to start the task of doing everything in the book you see on the side. That's what happens when I take pictures of something I make and others think they are very nice and want one for themselves. So before I continue with the next one in the book I have to finish the ones that have been ordered. In case you don't remember the fish here is a picture of what it looks like. One of the sets might take a little longer because she wants the fish to look like walleyes. It will take a while to get it just right. I'll take a picture of it when I get that one finished. As for the rest of my humdrum life, it's very humdrum. Nothing interesting is happening. Well it has been very cold here. Yesterday it was below

Two more projects completed and a hunting picture

I now have two more projects done. This is the first one I did. It's a coaster set. It took a while to do this one. Putting it together, the coasters are two sided. So it was like doing 10 instead of 5. Plus putting together the barn.  This is the last one I've done. It's another coaster set. This one was very simple to do. I had it done in a couple of days. I only work on some of these things a couple of hours a day, when I get time and or I'm not to tired from all the other things I do everyday.  Well as for other things around here, it's been on the quite side except for the husband tearing a tendon by his knee and is now wearing a brace. With it being hunting season around here do you think it stopped him from hunting? No. Here is proof. He got it on the last day of gun season at the last possible moment. Our freezer will be full this winter.  Well right now it's snowing so I guess winter is here to stay. We wil
