The guys are bookin'! All four bents (sections) are up!
Holy Moley! All the rafters are in place and the overhangs are up! See that tiny white building with the grey roof? That's the cupola and it's going to be raised to the roof of the barn by a crane! This will be the very first time that dad and the guys have raised a barn and raised a cupola in the same weekend!

Last night mom took Mitch and me out for our final peepees before bed and guess what Mitch discovered? That the UPS man had left a box for dad on our back porch and mom had no clue it was even there! Our UPS man left 2 cookies on top of the box for us and that little snitch, Mitch (hey, that rhymes) stole both the cookies and held them in his mouth while he was peeing! Mom knew something was up and confiscated them when we came back inside! She was able to salvage half of each cookie! You're such a pig, Mitch!
Hey, where did they go?
I honestly don't think you deserve more, Mitch, seeing as you already ate a whole one if you put the two halves together!
I guess mom feels differently!
We just got back from our walkie and Mitch likes plowing his face through all the wet grass looking for apples and nuts and anything else edible!
We'll update you with any more pictures of the raising if Uncle Bob is kind enough to send them to us!
So until next time................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Gosh if i ever want a barn raisining I am calling your Dad, that is speedy work and looks great!

Hope you both have a wonderful weekend,
love and smooooches

Sweet Maggsie!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys totally deserve all the awards you can get! We humbly accept the kickass blogger award. (You have confirmed for us that we are, INDEED, kickass. Thank you!)
That barn raising always looks like so much fun! Your parents are into some really cool stuff.
Do you think Mitch is just a snitch, or is he getting too big for his britches?
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley

I do love watching your barn work. I remember reading about y'all's first one last year(guess it was last yr. Been lurking an awfully long time) That sunrise is
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous. There are some cool old barns aroud her(well all over TX, that I wish someone like your husband would work on) My grandparents old barn was torn down. I had played in that barn so much. Great memories. And it was a great looking old barn. I cried. Silly,yes?
Anyhow, what a wonderful job they do.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteHi, Maggie and Mitch!

Nice mailman leaving you cookies with the package!
Kisses and hugs

Gorgeous sunrise...
ReplyDeleteboy, the UPS man never leaves us anything! you guys are special (as we all knew). We are jealous of those treats. I must go ask mother for some!!
ReplyDeleteWe love to read about those barn raisings. They should look like fun!
I am always so amazed at this barn raising stuff, it is truly wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Mitch tried to eat all of the cookie the UPS guy left for you! WOW my ups guy, Vic, doesn't leave me anything!! But he does know my name!
ReplyDeleteVelcro
Woofy, M&M!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards.
I'm sure those packages are for you too! Hmmm, the UPS man knew it that's why he left cookies. Our mailman don't leave us cookies. He kept running for his life as soon as he drops all mails. Hmmm, I wonder why?
Congrats on your awards! Thanks for sharing the pics of the barn raising. We think that is very cool! And Mitch, you are a little stinker! Of course, any one of us would do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
It was a beautiful sunrise. You have such a nice postie who leaves you cookies! Mitch, you have to share with Maggie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award you guys. I will post as soon as I get my bloggie back from momma (she is off on a rant today).
ReplyDeleteA crane? Yowsa! That looks like so much fun. Can't wait for the rest of the pictures.
I have to say, that Mitch is a pretty clever dude to hide the cookies in his mouth and then acting all, like, who me? I'm just peeing. Hee Hee.
Slobbers,
Mango
Wow the barn raising is going great.. We can't wait to see it when it s done...
