The Big Switcharoo

You know ever since we moved here I wanted to be a farmer.
I wanted to plant fruit trees and have a huge pumpkin patch and serve hot cider and sell treats to the kids to feed to the goat and sheep.
I wanted to have a christmas tree patch up above the house and sell hot chocolate and give donkey sleigh rides.
I thought I could grow organic heirloom vegetables in the hunk of pasture beside the house and set up a roadside stand and sell my produce, handmade soaps and canning jar candles.
I had all of these big plans and dreams about being the Fat Bottom Farm (I wanted it to be the Fat Ass Farm, a play on my ass AND our donkeys but it wasn't very family friendly) but somehow we never could pull things together enough to make anything happen and that's ok I guess because now I'm a Grannyma.
I will grow grannybabies.
I will love them and hold them and feed them and wash them and make stuff for them.
I figured people may of been coming here under the assumption of hearing stories and getting tips on actual real farm things so I decided I would go back to where it all began, the trailerparks blog, so as not to be misleading to farmers, and I don't know if I even transferred my domain right so I may be talking to myself right now.
I still have the Grannyma Blog only for those who CHOSE to hear me ramble on about my perfect little fun size grannyman and then on this blog I'll talk about kids and cats and dogs and donkeys and crafts and recipes and all the other stuff we do and if I do grow something to eat I'll take a picture of it and show you.

So here's what's new...

Kenna and her mom Cheryl and her two boys Jared and Ian and Ginger and her daughter Kelsey and her two boys Henry who's two and Finnegan who is BRAND new and Donna came to my house not yesterday but the day before and we had SO much fun!
I was so excited to see everyone that I just went around cleaning toilets and sweeping floors all morning and forgot to put on company clothes so I looked like a crazy cat lady when they got here but I was so excited to see everyone that I really didn't care.
I just walked around pretending in my head that I looked like June Cleaver and that the fat around my neck was really a strand of pearls and had the best time ever.

Here's some pictures.






Fun right!



My favorite fat cat Astro went outside on Monday and never came back.


I was so sad I couldn't even talk about it.
But he came home last night!
But I woke up this morning and he was gone again.
He must be on a big hunt.



My year is almost up with Verizon so I can get a new phone but I think I'm going back to a blackberry 8330 my all time favorite phone instead of upgrading and then I'll go for the two year upgrade next year and maybe get an iPhone.

This is the phone I have now and I don't really like it.




This is my favorite phone in the whole world.


I found a new in the box 8330 on Craigslist last night for fifty bucks. 
The guy said something happened to his other one so Verizon sent him a new one and while he was waiting for it to come in the mail he and his wife went to the Verizon store and got iPhones.
He said he'd meet Six at the Verizon store and then they can just do what they do to make my old LG my new used Blackberry.
I know you probably think it's dumb to go back in technology time, but I'm happy there with my buttons and rolly ball.



Did I tell you about the mini chicken pot pies?
O.M.G.
Go here to the Country Cook for the recipe.



I think That's all for today.

Peas.
