6-7

If you know, you know, and those of you with grandchildren in the 10–15-year-old range probably know. 

6, 7, what does it mean? All three of our grandchildren say it randomly ,"6, 7" they would say it for absolutely no reason. When asked when it means, they say they cannot tell me. In actuality, they don't know either. So, I looked it up and it means absolutely nothing. Kids just like saying it to leave adults confused. In my opinion, they don't need to say a thing to leave adults confused. One time when Lily was here, I said "Lily, 6 7." She was like, "Adults can't say that".

According to The Google the term originated from the 2024 rap song Doot Doot by the rapper Skrilla. I am sure all of you could recite that rap by heart. One of my favorites for sure. 

Whatever it means, we were not confused when on last Tuesday at 6:30am Barb received the following text from our youngest granddaughter, "6 7, 6 7, 6 7!" That was Kendall's way to wish Barb a happy birthday! I will not tell you how old she turned, but those numbers may give you a clue. 

So, what did I get Barb for her birthday? Being the best husband in the world of husbands I took her to Menards and had her pick out a few woodworking items for her shop; a couple of clamps, some safety glasses, a box of 1 1/4" screws, (7) 6' cedar boards, and wait for it.... a 500-piece bit and drill set! Is she not the luckiest woman in the world?

On her special day we went out to her workshop and made a couple of bird houses using everything above. This was her first project using her new table saw and table. 

We figured out a few things that she needs, but the overall project went well resulting in two bluebird houses which we promptly put out. Just in time too as the bluebirds are back!

We then went over to Dan and Bonnie's who we were picking up for supper. Upon arriving we saw balloons at the entrance of their driveway and garage. They had party favors which included silly string, a bubble maker and of course shots of Fireball!

I think everyone is glad to be home. The girls are back to their favorite places around the house.

I think even the wildlife is happy that we are home as they showed up in droves when I refilled the feeder. One morning we had 17 deer at one time! And the turkeys are showing up by the dozens!

The deer even left us a few presents scattered around the property. So far, we have only found two shed antlers, but I know there are more out there!

I too am happy to be home so I can get to work on a few of the many projects awaiting me. First up was dragging the pasture to break up all those cow pies out there!

Then it was to the woods to cut and split the over dozen trees knock over from our last windstorm.

Ah, yes, it is good to be home indeed!
