   ALLOW!?!?!?!?!?!?
   Makes me think of a story/joke...
   The kid that used to PRAY every day and night for a bicycle, and when he asked the family preacher why his prayers were never answered, his reply was, that god did not work that way....
   So he STOLE a bike, then prayed for forgiveness...........

    ALLOW works the same way.. Always work hard to meet her half way, and you will have a blissful marriage.. Then when the day comes that you just CANT, then remember, she will eventually get over it!     :yes:







   K, so you might have to pray, and beg a little during the getting over it stage..........   I have found thats not always so bad!  :laugh:

HA! In my case I am the beekeeper, it's MY kitchen and MY Diningroom, and I clean it! so I can do whatever I want on that farm table. Next week I might be making a quilt on that same farm table, or dressing ole dead uncle Walter on that farm table (no not really, ugh). That's what I bought it for, we don't eat on the farm table, Oh No! Jen's got to many projects lined up for that table  :D 8)

I put out an APB to find the top surface of my work benches. had a rainy day so I worked on that. after 3 hours I could see some of the actual surface & the clutter is down to inches not feet. I should clarify that I'm moving stuff out of a storage unit, rearranging an attached garage,  building an attached shed at the rear of my shop, starting a bathroom remodel on the 25th, getting woodenware ready to deal with the approaching swarm season, managing 13 hives in 2 yards, have been hired to tend 4 hives for someone else, & I'm managing 15 nucs. chaos reigns.

Jen,

I fell so much better. My house looks like D-8 ran through it during bee season. There's always something more fun to do outside!

I had some new boxes in the living room while I was building frames for them. Left them too long and Sweet Wife turned her minions loose on them and this is the result.

I'm judging there are some very good drawn pictures on those hives. Your wife has some very talented minions. Hope they stand up to the outside elements.

Gonna run into the hardware and pick up some clear poly to preserve the work. It's going into the garden beeyard so it will dress up the place.
