Well this is my version of a tool belt! Which works pretty darn well for me. He may not be able to build me the perfect chicken coop but he sure looks hot 'toten' that big ole gun! On a side note I love that do rag on his head. Oh la la! My own personal Rambo! I think I'll keep him. Anne I am sure there are more single guys over there looking for a pretty and ambitious gal like yourself.

Nope, Tish. The only ones I ever meet are all gay. Great fun to hang out with. No future beyond that. Plus somehow I end up lifting and toting for them.

I think I scare 'em off. Independent, strong-willed and I own my own power tools. Sends 'em running for the hills.

Oh, did this bring back a memory of something my hubs asked me. I built something, I don't remember what it was but it was complicated, he said, "nice job, what do you need me for?" And he was serious.

And that independent, strong willed and power tools thing is not far off the mark for scaring them away. I divorced in my mid 20's from my first husband, didn't marry again until my mid 40's and it was mostly due to the things you listed. Men that are not comfortable in their own skin can be very intimidated by a woman who is.

Anne Anne Anne we really need to have a sit down. I may be strong willed (not so much the independent part) and very self confident but when my hubby is around I am this weak, innocent Damsel in Distress. I think men need to feel needed. That goes WAY back to the cave men generation. I wonder how he thinks I get the jars open when he is away. :

I can use power tools but I am not so good at it, so a BIG hats off to you ladies that can. I find a casserole or cookies will usually get the the job done just fine. I can cook at least.

Tool envy is a serious thing. I keep mine in the closet and say we need them cause I can't find anything in his big ole barn.

Mmmmmmmmm, goats . . .

Huh? What did I miss??

CityGirl, somewhere there is a fabulous hunk of a man wondering, "Where, oh where can I find an amazing, independent woman who knows how to use all these power tools in my 5-car garage/workshop?"

I would LOVE some milking lessons. I need hoof trimming lessons too. I can't really play until January. Pretty much all of my weekends are booked through the end of January. After that though I would love to come play. You know I want some goaties! And an alpaca.

I can do the 19th, the 21st and the 22nd. Nope on the 20th though. There are meetings on and off all day. Do any of the other dates work for you?

When you find him please send him my way. I could get a lot done if I had someone else to pay the bills.

How's your world, woman? We hardly ever hear from you these days. I miss your morning posts.

All is well, CityGirl. Well and busy. Lots of wine to taste. . . lots to sell! The shop is coming along and looking pretty good now. Plenty of fun to be had, and we just hired a nice gal from Oregon who has . . . GOATS!! Oy vey. Save me from the cuteness of mini goats. This is a sign for sure.

So how about a goat cheese making commune for independent, strong-willed women??

Mmmmmmm, cheese. . . . huh? What? I zoned out for a minute.
