The Shed

    This is The Shed, to which I will escort Cindy if they start smokin’ up a storm inside the house.

    And this is what it looks like inside the shed, where I will entertain Cindy.

    If we get bored, we can sit in my Honda Element and eat beef jerky.

    The lord is awesome, y’all.

    indeed he is Deron, when he makes the world list to starboard like that. can i have some beef jerky too?

  3. Sheila Ryan on February 10th, 2008 at 1:26 am

    Oh, yes, Alek, you may eat jerky to your heart’s content. (During my ‘wandering-in-the desert’ years, I took up the habit of never going anywhere without provisions of water and beef jerky, so those are two things you may always enjoy when you visit me.)

    in that case i offer companionship on any future ‘desert wanderings’, which i may add are preferable to snow bound ones though the beef jerky is a constant, i might even ditch the cigarettes… mmm

    Well, as to ditching the cigarettes, that makes no difference to me either way. I’d be happy for your company with or without.

    Funny to reflect that I’ve been out wandering in temperatures ranging from over 115 degrees Fahrenheit to more than twenty degrees below . . .

    Do you take Mastercard?

    Lovely photos. Absolutely lovely. (Even though I hate BEING in winter.)

    I travel with pop-top tins of chicken breast (98% fat-free only), tuna packets, tubbettes of applesauce, and small cans of V8.

  8. Sheila Ryan on February 10th, 2008 at 11:37 am

    Cindy: Oh, yes, I do take Mastercard — and soon you’ll be able to register on line via clusterflock.

    Renner: Ah! Now I see the link ‘twixt you and the little girl neighbor of Deron and Amy. It’s the tubbettes of applesauce.

    On the way to my sister’s last night I finally pressed Amy on the similarity (between Renner and Indi) hoping for something juicy to share with y’all. Turns out it’s just an issue of eyes and haircut. I don’t know if I’m disappointed.

  10. Sheila Ryan on February 10th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Oh, yes, I noticed that last night Amy did reveal the answer to the mystery. I like to believe that she merely thinks that the similarity lies in the haircut and the eyes. It’s really something else.

    (Oh . . . and is Indi the child’s full name? Or is she India? Or Indira? Or . . . ?)

    As well as a dislike of goats, winter is right up there along with smokers. Unless of course I’m doing the smoking! Its years since I last seen a winter and I hope I never see one again. On that point its winter here just now, 22 degree’s C (not F), think I might have to put a warmer T shirt on!

  12. Sheila Ryan on February 17th, 2008 at 11:53 am

    Oh, dear. I expect I’d best tell you that although we do our best to accommodate visitors’ preferences by offering non-smokers the option of retreating to a drafty shed, we wouldn’t dream of sheltering the goats out of doors. They sleep right here in the house with us.

    Perhaps (in light of your dislike of winter) you’ll want to schedule your visit for one of the warmer months? A summertime stay would offer this additional advantage: on temperate nights, you could avoid sharing your bed with a goat by sleeping on the wooden deck out back. We would be happy to loan you linens and a bit of foam rubber padding.
