Sunday

An almost do nothing day. Did get outside and walk around. Bob was grooming Rosie and I went and helped him a little bit. We walked around looking at things. The raspberries that we planted last fall are coming along. A couple of the sticks we planted are now dead sticks but the rest look encouraging. I worked a little on the bed that I am going to plant the nastursiums in. The pentunias that I planted a couple of weeks ago are still thriving.

It was nice this afternoon but I slept thru most of it. Am going to try and not take any medication tomorrow. It makes me so sleepy. The worst today is my right hand and the headache. I am going to go see my doctor tomorrow and hope I hear from State Farm so I can get this procedure going. I am going to start cleaning out the car tomorrow. If they don't total it, we don't want to send it to a repair shop with stuff in it.

You probably don't want to hear any more about "the wreck". I really want to get outside and do something tomorrow. Have a great start to your week. Well the work week anyway.

Super Saturday

I hope you all don't get bored but today we went to our great grandaughters 2nd. birthday party. Her Nana - our daughter Nikki - could not come and she really wanted to so not only for my blogging friends but for Nikki too these pictures are here. The above picture is her birthday cake. One of her other great grandmas baked it. Below is Miss Lilianna herself with her daddy Joel.

She was being a typical 2 year old and decided she did not want her picture taken. I could not cokes a smile out of her for anything.

This is our other great grandaughters mother, Raselle. I thought Arawyn would be tired of us after last weekend but she ran to me and leapt into my arms. I needed that little hug today. I had to drive there and so I could not take any medication so a big hug from a little girl was wonderful. Her mother is a sweetheart too and tries hard.

Our younger daughter Christyn. I was so glad to see her. She and her family came out yesterday to check on me and to see if they needed me to do anything. I appreciated that although she didn't need to.

Lilianna's daddy Joel. He is a great young man who got himself into a real mess a few years ago and moved to Spokane and got himself clean and sober. He is so talented. He has his drums out here in a little shed. He comes and entertains us every weekend. Actually he can play any instrument that he want. He is left handed but taught himself to play a right handed guitar upside down. Plus horns and he plays the piano beautifull.

Our grandaughter Nikki. She obviously is named after her aunt. They (her aunt Nikki and Uncle Carmen) call her Pocahantas. She is 15.

Nikkis brother Skyelor. He would not smile for me. When he couldn't help but smile he turned his head. He wants you to think he is a thug. He is 13.

The birthday girl. It was supposed to be nice and warm but it wasn't.

Nikki and Skye's sister Jadeyn. The most girly girl of the family. She is 12. She talks so fast I have to ask her to slow down because I can not understand her.

Lili and her mother Heather. She was attatched to her today. Heather is such a little thing. I thought she was going to freeze to death. She did go get a jacket on.

Arawyn - our great grandaughter that we took to see ner Nana last weekend. She looks to much like her dad its funny

Thanks for looking at my family album. I am much better today. My biggest thing is the headache and my right hand. Again I did nothing outside. Miss my critters. It is raining here and we really needed it to make the pasture grow. It can do it all night and then be nice. Good idea don't you think.

Have my clothes laid out for church in the morning if I can get up and get moving OK. This morning was so much better that I am hopeful that tomorrow will be better yet.

Have a blessed Sunday.

A scrambled brain

I said I would post today but it will be shorter than yesterdays. Muscle relaxers and pain pills have made things easier today but when they wear off, I know why I am taking them. Makes my mind very slow to function. Tomorrow will be better.

Thursday or should I say Friday am

Just a quick post here. I promise to sit down and write a decent post tomorrow. This evening on the way to the Mustang Horse Club meeting I was rearended. My little Kia vs. a large older Bronco. My car is driveable but needs help and I will be fine. Just got home from the emergency room. Nothing is broken but I sure do have a sore neck and back. I was going 50 and touched my brakes. He got me.

We cancelled the Mustang Campout. Andrea has a concussion and I hurt and the doctor told me not to ride for a few days so Andrea and I are both grounded, plus our well is down again and Bob must get that fixed.

Arlene if you want to call me, we can schedule a day to come and do you compliance checks for your titles.

Thanks all for your prayers in advance.

Thankful Tuesday

Today I am thankful for running water in the house. When we got home from Nikki's on Sunday evening, there was a major leak in the well house. Water was running all over. Bob turned the water off immediately before I even had a chance to get water in a couple of big kettles or anywhere. So, we had to depend on a gallon of water I had in the pantry and 2 smaller bottles of water in the fridge. Then I did find two parts of bottles in the car. So that is what I had to wash my face, brush my teeth and so on. When he got home Monday evening he got it fixed so Wahoo we had water in the house. I do not feel like being a pioneer at this point in my life. So I am very thankful for water coming out of the faucets in the house.

Did nothing outside today. I got some kind of a bug over the weekend that has settled in my sinuses and it makes me cough alot. So I lazed around today and just did laundry and that kind of stuff.

Have a good Wednesday.

The end of a weekend

We drove home today and handed Arawyn off to her mother. Bob went out to check things over and we have a massive leave in our well house. He has water turned off and told me it might be 2 days until its fixed. I was going to take a long soaky bath - wrong. I didn't even get a pot of water so I can brush my teeth and wash my face. Oh neighbor where are thou. He is out there doing something with the tractor.

I am sleepy and ready to crawl into my own comfy bed. It was so great to see Nikki and her family. They are going thru a real crisis and there is nothing we can really do about it. Was good to just see her and hug her.

Have a Monday that is full of joy.

Soggy Saturday

A beautiful Claybank gelding. He is built like a tank Tracey thinks he is Perlino, I don't know but I liked him alot

A nice mare that got every ones attention. Her mane on the other side had serious dreds but it is lower than her neck.

I think this is the horse that Jamie worked with during the demo. He was so nice and gentle. He was adopted first off.

We had a wet and soggy day at the adoption until the middle of the afternoon when it cleared up. This was a pen of the 4H geldings. They drew for the horses and in 3 months will bring them back for a little horse show and will have the option of keeping or not. They will have fun.

We stayed ALL day. The most exciting part was Greg told us we could come to Burns this fall and accompany them on a gather. That will be a dream come true. And we will get to see our friends in Burns. And have fun. One of the perks of showing up at all the adoptions possible and helping. Besides it is what we love.

It has been wonderful to see our daughter, husband and family. Arawyn has loved being the center of her Nana and Papa's attention. We have a 6 hrs. drive ahead of us tomorrow.

Have a Sunday filled with blessings.
