barndo access blocked… oh my!

Sep 25, 2022

The driveway went in yesterday and access to the barndo was blocked until after 2:00 PM. (More about the dreaded Barndo Triangle on shelleyerwin.com.) Ben sent a text asking about the progress mid-morning. He and Colette were wanting to head this way. It’s like the floodgates opened once the workers rolled out.

Where’s the grub?

First order of business was for me to cook a massive breakfast. Eggs, hashbrowns, biscuits, and sausage — and again, it was mid-afternoon by that time. We were almost finished eating when the Peskies arrived to critique the driveway and see the “kids.”

Katie is a fire bug in training.

Katie arrived the second she was off from work. She didn’t want to miss the action but most of all she wanted dinner. And she wanted to make more s’mores. Perry was at work so she was in charge of the fire. She and Colette gathered the wood and after a bit of blowing and relighting attempts, she was pretty darned proud of her accomplishment.

All of that to create the ugliest s’more I think I’ve ever seen. Who would eat this (other than Katie)??
