So here goes......If you were following me last fall, we put in a new pivot and we have a lot of stuff (like one hundred years of accumulated items that someone might have needed some day) that needs moved in order for the pivot to make the complete circle around. Now that the snow is gone and things are thawed out, it is time to start that process. (And to our advantage, the price of scrap metal is up!) So as we are loading things up onto the trailer to ship it off to the scrap yard, one item is a little heavy, making the forklift a little light on the back end so the steering wheels are not always touching the ground, which makes it a little difficult for my Farmer to maneuver where he wants to go. So, he hollers at me to stand on the back of the forklift to hold it down. Now my first reaction is Sure, I can do that. But than as I start to stand on it, I think I sure hope this doesn't work! But it did. And that really boosts a girls ego, let me tell ya. You know I find it kind of funny, that when I ask my Farmer if an outfit I am wearing looks OK, he absolutely will not answer me, afraid of getting accused of calling me fat. BUT, he doesn't even think twice about asking me to sit or stand on something to hold it down. Now it might be just me, but that right there is saying something about my weight. But I can live with it. I know that I am losing weight being on the 90 day health challenge and one of these days my Farmer will need my weight and I will not weigh enough so I will have to put rocks in my pockets. HA! But I love helping my Farmer anyway I can (usually), and if it's being the

No, you don't look fat...but could you stand on this and hold it down....
With my mom living with us now, I am not out helping my Farmer as much as usual, so I find that I have less to blog about. But, all it takes is just helping my Farmer for one day, and boom, I have something to blog about. I find it pretty funny, cuz if I get my camera out or I smile at something he did, he just looks at me and says "you're gonna blog about that aren't you". Yep!
