Fooling Eldest.

    Every once in a while...ok, more than that...I enjoy putting one over on the kids.  It  really makes my day.  Today I went into Chillicothe to run some errands.  Hon and the Kid are going backpacking with the Boy Scout troop this weekend so I had to get a few last minute things that won't weigh their packs down any more than they already are. 
    While I was at the grocery getting the much needed items, I made the mistake of walking past the baked goods without my blinders on.  Big mistake.  A package of cinnamon roll looking cream cheese danish rolls started enticing me over to them.  We had an argument over the damage they'll do to my waist and I lost.
    On the way home I stopped for gas and again they started taunting me and smelling good in the hot van.  Because of that (since I was stopped anyway) I popped the lid off the rolls and took out the real big offender and ate him.  That shut him up quick!  It was such a successful tactic that I did the same with the other loud mouth in there.  Then the rest understood my intentions and became very quiet.
    When I got home I emptied all the bags and put away the goods.  Then Eldest saw the container of yummy rolls.  He hadn't noticed the two missing yet.  He asked why I got them (duh) and I told him they were on sale, that I god a real good deal on them because someone had already opened the package and took two out.  He looked at me like I was nuts and said, "I can't believe you bought them.  I'm not eating those, someone's hands have been in there.  That's disgusting!"  So I proceeded to tell him that it's okay, I'll eat them.  I'm not worried about it.  After he thought about it a moment he said, "Nuh-uh, YOU at them...DIDN'T YOU!"  I told him it wasn't me, but when he offered to make me some lunch and I decline he knew for sure it was me.  Even so, I'm not going to fess up.  Now I'm waiting for Young'un and the Kid to come home so I can put one over on them, too.  Sometimes it's the little things.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!  Smiling & Waving, Sharon

We have a cutoff time of 10:00 p.m. on Sunday nights for ordering available baked goods and a pickup time on Thursdays of the same week between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m., unless other arrangements are made. If there is a change in the schedule due to holidays or events, we will post the changes here on our website, and also on the social media websites Facebook and Instagram. We’ll also post when we have vegetables, fruits, teas, and herbs for sale from our farm.
