Mitch and I have discussed our pay scale with mom and dad and there is a lot of ice cream and hamburgers and pizza and apples involved!
I'm head supervisor!
My job today was to make sure that mom took the dirty hurricane braces from this cart that was inside the barn............
Over to dad who was scraping off hay and bat poop, etc, etc!
OOPS! Mom must have done something wrong because Mitch came rushing over to straighten her out in a hurry! Look at his ears! Good job, Mitch! We want to make sure this job is done right!
Mom was scrubbing the braces until they were the prettiest honey color and then placing them in the sun to dry! After they were dry, we supervised them being loaded onto another cart and stored back inside the barn to be treated with a preservative on another day yet to come!
Remember the barn that dad and his friends dismantled and they came home with baby barn swallows that unfortunately didn't make it?Well, this barn is now being cleaned and restored and there will be a barn raising next year to put it back up!
We are going to be busy, busy doggies for quite awhile!
We're working dogs!
So until next time................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

ReplyDeleteThis post is going to be mandatory reading for all future projects here at our place - Mom gets a LOT confused about just who is supervising whom....

ReplyDeleteThat good that both of you negotiate the salary before start working!
ReplyDeleteWow--you two are really earning your keep!
ReplyDeleteA barn raising? That sounds like a party in the making! We're sure you'll make a HUGE contribution to it -- in preparation and during the event! Too heck with barn swallows. You've got Barn Dogs!
ReplyDelete(Say, did Mitch go see Star Wars over the weekend?
He looks like he could've just stepped off the Enterprise!)
Keep up the good work. You will certainly be due some burgers and all the fixin's.

We have to agree with Jake and Fergi. Mitch looks like he could have just stepped off the Enterprise.
This news is so pawsome! I can't believe you two have jobs, I'm soooo jealous. Especially since you will be paid in pizza and ice cream!! I hope you keep your parents in line and run a tight ship! Keep up the great work!!!

Tanti baci!

I hope you guys gets some extra benefits for some of the hard work you are doing. Look at all the organization that you are doing to get the job done. I say- more treats!
ReplyDeleteIt will be beautiful when it is done. Good for you for saving the barn, and I hope the swallows move back.
Don't work too hard!

P.S. Tell Autumn Hector is sorry. I think maybe he needs to be tutored.
Snoopervising is VERY hard work! It's a good thing you will be paid well! We can't wait to see the new/old barn!

Good evening m & m
ReplyDeleteWonderful Mother's Day is spent, and it is happy.
And, it is swallow's season also in Japan.
The house where the swallow builds the house prospers.
There is a swallow that is waiting for the restoration work of the barn there.
It applauds the swallow not defeated at time of every day when m & m is busy. ：D

oh lovely pics, especially on the newest post of the lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteSadly, we are undergoing computer probs, which are making my Jeannie the maddest person (mad as in angry, not mad as in crazy!), so this is the reason for our silence.
Hopefully it will soon be sorted, we managed to get on line today which was a start.
lotsaluv, Marvin xxxxx
oh and Jeannie xxxxxx
pee ess please negotiate an excellent Ice Cream rate so youse can pass some to me, having never eaten the stuff!
I need to discuss my pay scale with Mom. I think I am severly underpaid!!!!
ReplyDeleteKaos
Well, if you're being paid in hamburgers, pizza and APPLES, I know who's going to be working very, very hard!
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
Chef
Great job supervising. We think you should ask for a raise after the barn is rebuilt. Maybe hotdogs!
ReplyDeleteHi, Maggie and Mitch -
ReplyDeleteYou both do a great job supervising your Mom and Dad. We hope you got lots of pizza and treats.
That picture of Mitch with the "flying ears" is classic. Mama had a good laugh - she had a hard day at work today. Computer work is really tough on the brain.
Love -
Hershey and Kaci
omdog so cool to save the wood and then make a whole new barn out of it. We can't wait to see how it turns out!!
ReplyDeletek, we thought you both got jobs as tasters at the DQ. But tese jobs are just as important. Your dad must be quite a craftsman, and we don't mean that he's a tool. Work safely.
ReplyDelete- TBH
