City Girl Lessons Learned V1.0

I learned several lessons today as we went out to our property to pull roots in preparation for the 3 acre plot to be disk plowed.

1. Some days...no matter how much you and your significant other love each other...you will want to hurt each other.

2. If the mud is soft enough to stick to your boots...your truck will get stuck in it.

3. Just because it is cloudy and rainy...I can still get heat exhaustion.

4. Ask questions...don't just trust the little old man set up on the side of the road sellling fruit. You may assume he is selling local food. But he may be selling plums from California. Is there a season for plums in South Texas?

5. Just when you think you want to smack your significant other, he offers you half of his chicken salad sandwich because there was not enough bread for both of you to have a sandwich.

6. Chicken salad made with apples tastes sweet when you throw it up.

7. Some days you just can't win.
