I made peanut butter pies last night. The first round of fudge and cookies were made last night as well.

We are going to run the Turkey Trot today - well now it is called the Run thru the Woods. After the race I will then finish cooking our Thanksgiving dinner....

Concrete poured

We have poured the foundation for the barndominium. They brought in a pumper truck and I lost count of the number of cement trucks. I attempted to draw our brand in the back corner of the porch and dated the slab as well. The building arrives on Wednesday next week, however they can't start putting it up until the weekend. The concrete has to cure at least 10 days. We should have a building Dan's birthday. If all goes as planned we hope to camp up there for New Years.

BIG DADDY!

Ranch update - water well & foundation

I finally have a moment to myself with no interruptions so I uploaded pictures to post. I have more that I took today, but that will have to wait. Lots of progress at the ranch. The bottom picture is of our water well being drilled. That is done and capped off until the building is up so we can set the pump and tank. The picture above it is of the foundation being framed and made ready for the concrete. The plumbing has been put in for the barndominium, etc. The electric fence is built plugged into the temporary pole for now. We had a fun time building this. It got dark on us, so we had to utilize the truck and Suburban headlights to finish the fence. The girls helped Dan and I.

Water well drilled on 11.11.2009.
