Hillbilly suspenders


This is Allison in some of her "home" clothes. You know, the stuff they don't wear out of the house.

She came to me very proudly last night to show me her solution to her pants slipping down all the time. Twine suspenders. Tie on one front beltloop, loop through the center back beltloop, bring back to other front beltloop. We all think it looks uncomfortable, but she assures us it's fine-much better than wearing one of her belts, she says.

She added her straw hat and, to complete the ensemble, pulled out a long piece of grass to chew on. I'm thinking this will be a picture worth saving to embarrass her at her graduation open house.

In other news, the chicks seem to be doing well in their new home. The big switcheroo happened last night. Some adult chickens were moved as well. I'm not sure if there will be more of that to come or not. I try to avoid having too much knowledge of what happens with his animals. lol

  3. I am afraid she might have a gene, no pun intended, from gramps. Do you remember the many uses for baling twine? She is growing up way toooo fast.

  6. Keeka! Yeah, the twine looks like something I would have done around that age, if for no other reason to bug my mom :) This is super fun- now I don't feel so out of the loop with you guys' lives! So the next step would be having ya'll move "back home," right? :) Love ya!!
