I’ve spent the most part of this week organizing my life. From household chores to business plans to shopping lists. Must be the time of year or change of seasons. It’s similar to spring cleaning only instead of cleaning out the closets, I started cleaning out the notebooks. I would guess I am over half way done with the task. It is refreshing to see these past projects that were neglected or forgotten, ideas and plans that were never implemented and bits and pieces of information from the past that I wasn’t sure how to use then, and see the opportunities of it now.

While I have been trying to get myself revamped my girlfriend Vic is back to work at the apple orchards. She takes pride in her work and genuinely loves the family she works for. They put her in charge of a Mexican crew this year. My step daughter Jean is also working there now, she started just a couple days ago and seems to fit right in at the barn.

It is a great apple crop this year in South Eastern Ohio. There was much concern this spring with the heavy rains. Then as they ripened there was not quite enough rain - but all worked out and it looks like the orchards will keep Vic in work all winter. Such a blessing after the short 3 month season of work last year with the bad crops.

So with Vic back to work and my boy about to start kindergarten this week …I will have all day to work without much interruption. I am looking forward to it. It will be the first time in 15 years that I do not have a young child at home all day! WOOOOOOOOT!!!

Little D is so excited to be going to school. I still have to get him enrolled Tuesday morning and take him shopping. Yes I procrastinated up till the very last day. I really wanted to home-school him. I feel the government brainwashing education system is a joke. But he really wants to go and I really need to work more hours. I decided at the last moment to enroll him in public sheep herding .. I mean public school system and try a year or so of it and see how he does. I am sure he will do just fine .. it’s me that has the problem with it.

My youngest step daughter will be 18 next month. She flew the coop this summer but I look for her to return to the nest soon as real life bites her in the rear end. I worry about her, but I can’t say that I miss her. Love her yes, want to listen to her teenage drama .. no.

Well, that’s life on the Do Duh Ranch today.

Peace!

P.S.

My mower is still broken so I am considering buying a goat. Until next time …
