Fast Friends and Fun Projects

Life around here has been full of friends and farm projects. One of the things that is a blessing living here is that we are able to have farm animals; goats and chickens. Also, The Banmans and our family share the responsibility of milking the cow which is wonderful because we are able to keep half of the milk! Recently, both of our families aquired more chickens. Mrs. Banman decided that we should let the chickens out of their small chicken cage and let them run free throughout the day! We are very excited that all of our eggs will now be free range and more nutritious. Mr. Banman and the boys spent many days splitting 2 x 3's for fence posts and erecting a large outdoor area for the chickens to run around in. Grace enjoyed playing with the Banman girls while the boys and John worked on the project.

The finished wagon boxes that Grady and Jim built for the Banman family. These are replicas of the wonderful wooden wagon which is here at the house and which the grandfather handcrafted many years ago. One of John's brother's asked Grady to build these boxes in order to re-create 4 more wagons just like Grandpa's.. and give to some of the grandchildren. Here is the nice finished product! They looked very nice.
