The old yellow pickup

Well here we are, day 2 of this lovely Midwest blizzard!! I have more pics of the emphamis pickup!! That pickup....it's one of those that you sit down and you get a puff of dirt in your face, or worse yet when you shut the door the entire insides just moan and sometimes even a mouse can be seen. That reminds me of a story of when Jeff and I were dating. I was in that pickup and and he says 'so you like mice?" ummm excuse me?? I said well I don't know (being a city girl, as much as one can be in a rural community) . He said 'good, because one just looked at you!" WHAT?! I used to hate this pickup but then I started to like it. It has character. It's Jeffs brothers, i thought it was his dads. It's great, we haul the dogs in it, a calf has ridden in it, people, my GRANDFATHER that's an entire laugh your butt of story in of itself. Many of days Jeff can be seen going down the road with 3 dogs hanging off the side. Oh and when we had pigs Jeffs dad would deliver them to market in this pickup. So it has a lot of history and i really like it. It's sad to see it all out there burried in a big ol' snowdrift. probably won't start till Spring!!

So, on a my life has drama part, I was making supper and letting it simmer on the stove. While sitting in the den with Jeff and kids i hear something crackling...i was like what's burning. OH MY GOSH IT'S SUPPER!!! NOPE it was crackers, container of water, ON FIRE!! The WRONG burner was on. Not the first time i've done this but i'm convinced I did NOT turn that burner on!! But none the less, crisis diverted with Jeffs quick thinking to shut it off. Needless to say my house STUNK!! My mother in law happen to come over and said why are the windows open? Oh my what happened?? And continued to lector ME on why i shouldn't have ANYTHING on the burner. Whatever, i'll just go eat some humble pie....
