Hello Everyone! As you can see by the title today is my birthday! It sure has been along time since I posted. A lot has been going on here at the Jeffries farm. In November we decided to build Mother-in-Law quarters out of my old shop "Queenies Joy" for my mother. Her health is okay but she has heart problems and it is difficult for me in my busy life to be there all the time to check on her. She only lives 20 miles away but it might as well be thousands when I can't get there and she has fallen. We began remodeling of the newly built building (after the fire) in January and after MANY bumps in the road it was finished the first of June. She began living there then. It has taken her awhile to get adjusted to not being a block from Walmart, 2 blocks from McD's etc. but I think she is beginning to like it here on the farm. However we are still sifting thru the 45 years of accumulation in her old house. We are making major progress but boy has it been a chore. She just recently made it back to the house since her fall in early April and found her house not "exactly" in the order she had left it. We have moved out furniture and many other things but she took it pretty good. Her new smaller house is really neat and she is really enjoying decorating it with my sister in law. I had so hoped to have it finished and sold by the time school started but it isn't looking too promising. :-( Work will be starting late for me this year I have a feeling. Plus, on top of Grandma moving in we have a new little guy with us. He is such a sweety. "Boo-Boo" is what we call him he is 10 months old and has been with us since April. He just started walking and the kids are really enjoying watching him learn day by day. Well to everyone please keep updated. I am going to download the new app for my cell and with my new carrier I am hoping to blog more often. Stay tuned!
