This morning Adam went to get “The Heartland”. This bad girl is none other than the 1962 Whitehouse boat that my baby brother and Adam purchased at a very fine price off of Ebay a few years back. Let me be honest with you, people…the thing was a junker and my Mother and I looked at each other and then back at the boat and then back at each other~well, you get my drift. But the boys spent all summer fixing it up and by August she was a beaut! A bass boat, she was and we took her to Minnesota on vacation~all of us. The great thing is that it was Adam and Jesse’s thing ya know? It is neither one of their boats…it is both of theirs. I’m being honest here, too….it really did turn out nice. Complete with mood lighting, sound system, etc. Many hours of enjoyment have been gained from The Heartland. Here are before and after photos. I cannot find an after photo right now other than this one of the two of them at sunset bass fishing. But the tranquil feeling that you get from just looking at that picture…..yep, that is just how good the boat looks too.
The problem though is that we have had her stored out on a friend’s property. Adam tells me this afternoon that he made a mental “note to self” to not park the boat next to a field next time. Apparently a mouse (this is what Adam says it was….who knows I thinking it could have been anything with teeth!!) ate anything that was of any relation to paper in the boat and left it in pieces. Grrrrrr.
Lastly, who ever knew eating pizza could be so difficult. Once again I struck out on the food front. I have some plastic spoons and forks but that is it and thought, hmmm….frozen pizza; nice and easy, quick too! Until Adam carried them in and literally set them down in front of me like this and then asked if I had any ideas on how we were to cut them!
As you can see my desk is still a MESS so I am sorting through papers like a mad woman to get as much done as possible. Heck, who am I kidding~it’ll be done TONITE as the carnival workers will be here at 8am to take this exact desk away from me so I have NO choice!
