I just have so many fun things I want to do with the kids, and so many projects to catch up on around the house; not to mention the stuff that's just for me. I need to slow down, and focus on one thing at a time instead of trying to do it all in one day. When I think of it that way, I'm not surprised that I got jammed up.Raejeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985044155519702057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-88041325634364766602010-06-17T11:16:33.815-06:002010-06-17T11:16:33.815-06:00I just know what challenge to hang my hat with...T...I just know what challenge to hang my hat with...ThanksSusyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788781915884137809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-79874444875175406392010-06-17T09:38:04.615-06:002010-06-17T09:38:04.615-06:00I gained respect for lumberjacks a few years ago. ...I gained respect for lumberjacks a few years ago. We have a summer cabin in the Pines. Bark Beetles had killed over 200 of our mature Pine Trees on our property. After getting estimates to have the trees taken down my husband and I took on the job as "do it your-selfer's" to save some cash!<br /><br />With chain saws in hand we became quite skilled in notching the tree so that they could safely fall where we wanted them to. It was really quite fun to yell "Timber" and to hear the crash of the enormous Pines falling. <br /><br />We only left one huge tree to the professionals since it was leaning very close to the cabin. Interestingly, we got our part of the job done with no injuries. The pros had the paramedics there within an hour when one of the side branches hit one of the workers when the tree fell. His injuries looked far worse than they were and thankfully he walked away with just a bandage.<br /><br />We learned first hand that lumberjack work is both hard and dangerous! We went on a cruise with the money we saved as do-it-your-selfer lumberjacks!Grandma Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409943377698851040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-49435607120721671332010-06-17T08:32:24.037-06:002010-06-17T08:32:24.037-06:00Just this week I've been reading about Edward ...Just this week I've been reading about Edward and his boys.

Or maybe my Aunt is a Bagley. I'm not sure now... I just know that the name is one I recognize as being attached to my family in some way. I should ask my mom more about it.Cannwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664155690689747533noreply@blogger.com
