My Handy Man!

It’s great when your husband can do just about anything!  Mine doesn’t sit on his hands – no way!!!  He’s always there to help or fix any problem.

We had quite a few green tomatoes left on the vine.  Our solution was to make green tomato relish.  For our first time at doing this, I’d say we were successful.

With winter approaching and roads being salted, Bruce applied his annual undercoating to the truck.

First Phase Complete!

This morning, Jeff came over to set up our new gas stove.  It’s in our computer room – no more cold hands for me!

A tarp to cover the stove while Jeff drills a hole to the outside.

Going to need a bigger hole than that!

Project for the Day!

How scary is this – putting covers on the eaves troughs!  Maybe we should invest in an extension ladder!

Remember

How we were on the hunt for a new cooler when we were on vacation?  Our old, electric cooler had died and we were looking for a replacement.  We went to all the stores – Home Depot, Lowe’s, Cabela’s, and Kittery Trading Post.  Back home and online, we ordered a brand new one from Home Depot.  It was delivered this afternoon.  Pretty spiffy, eh?  Smile

Final Vacation Stop, then Home!

After New Hampshire, we drove across New Hampshire and most of Vermont until we got to South Hero where we stayed one night.

Our Visit to Strawberry Banke, Portsmouth,NH

I’ve tried putting these pictures up a few times.  Hopefully the third time is the charm!  It’s a neat place, unfortunately we didn’t walk the whole area.
