Dad's Timber Frame Class

Dad teaches timber frame class this weekend and mom and dad have been very busy cleaning and organizing and getting ready for all the new students for about 2 weeks now. The classroom is not on our property so all the tools and saw horses and props and timbers, etc, have to be trucked up to the school, which is about 40 minutes from home.
On Monday the students come here and they go on what dad calls a tour of barns. The tour consists of past projects, which are either dad's barns or barns that students have built or barns that dad has built with the help of many past students that have learned the art of timber framing.
Monday is the fun day here because there are lot of goodies for the students to eat before they leave to go on their tour - donuts and pastry -you know - the good stuff! When dad and the students all leave to tour, mom is elected to clean up. She never minds because mom loves scarfing goodies and we'll get to go out and help clean up too! We'll have to post on Monday to let you all know if we did a swell job cleaning up after the barn pawty!

While mom and dad have been cleaning, we've been trying to stay busy. The weather has really been very depressing! Thank goodness for the workshop or we'd be totally bummed! At least we can run around and play out here! Mom won't let us act up in the house. There's too much stuff that can be broken she says!

I just had to post this picture! This is just as it should be - me as the Queen and Mitch as the royal servant!

Later on in the afternoon, just as we were headed for the house the sun came out! yippeeeeeeeee! OMG we almost forgot what the sun looked like! What a nice surprise!

Mitch is such a great helper in that he helps mom lead me into the house - like I really need help!

He does this every single time we go out together. A girl needs her privacy to pee and poo and he just never takes the hint! What a pain! Mitch is growing like a weed! He now weighs 33 pounds! He's over half my weight!

This weekend the weatherman calls for glorious weather so hopefully we can play outside and help mom pick up sticks that got scattered EVERYWHERE from the storm! We can't wait!

Till next time..........

Love ya lot,

Maggie
