Last of the Trip Pictures

Sunsetting from the plane on the way home. I supposed I should have loaded it last but didn't think. We were some place over Oklahoma I think.

Our dear brother in law and us. He makes us look really little doesn't he.

My precious sister and her saint.

I loved this house. It is in Bell Buckle, Tennessee.

Nikki calls this "her house".

Niece Katherine with the rug I made her. Did not get pictures of Suzy or Tina with theirs. Kat is such a help to Sharon.

"My" squirrels. The red squirrel and his cousin the grey squirrel.

"What cha' doing in there?"

Some kind of Lily. I thought it was unique.

Some place between Denver and Kansas City. I love the patchwork this country is made of.

Today out Mustang Club rode, walked in the Reardan Mule Days Parade. I will have pictures tomorrow. It was fun and the sun came out and there was blue sky for the parade. It had been pouring on our way to Reardan.

Katie brought me a bouquet of lilacs this afternoon. She is such a sweet girl and we are so blessed to have her next door.

Blessings.

A Nice Day

I had one more picture to load but Blogger won't let me. Guess its not too big a deal. However it makes me mad to decided for me.

This is my sister Sharon and her youngest grandson Liam. He just cracks me up.

Liam too this picture of Sharon and I just before we took Liam home and the four of us went to dinner.

Penny, their beloved old Lab. She is the sweetest old dog.

My squirrel. Loved them.

Isn't he funny.

Sharon, Brownie and their oldest daughter Suzanne. Suzy was our taxi to and from the airport.

I did work Sage today and she was really quite good. Remembered most things we had worked on. Her new halter makes her take notice though when I am leading her. She has become quite headstrong. She knew I could not stop her, now I can.

Bob got the donkeys fit with pack saddles to lead them in the Reardan Mule Days parade tomorrow. The mustang club is participating.

Blessings.

No horses again

I loved the acrobatics of the squirrels. There were 9 of them that came every day. Sometimes all at the same time and sometimes one or two at a time.

The Mourning Doves come around too. They eat off the ground. Not from the feeders.

The Red Tailed Squirrel comes some days. It is not one of the nine. He is not particularly friendly with the young grey squirrels

I am watching you.

This guy was on the window sill right outside the window. They are not much afraid of anyone inside the window.

Eastern Blue Jays. Sure are bright blue aren't they.

Did not go out and work Sage today like I had planned. It has spit rain off and on and I got the laundry caught up and planted my nasturtium seeds and the Bleeding Heart roots that I bought. I sure hope they grow. I love them. I am sure the nasturtiums will. They are pretty hardy.

We are going to our Mustang Meeting in about half an hour. I sent the notice before we left so I hope they don't forget.

Blessings

Home

It is so good to be home. I have been just rummy today. Nothing to do with horses today, just pictures of cardinals.
My sister has as large window in her office and feeders outside in what she calls her "sanctuary" and all kinds of birds and a bunch of grey squirrels and a couple of red squirrels all spend mornings there.

It is so fun. That was our entertainment for the week.

I love the beautiful red cardinals. Even the females are beautiful but not so red. I will have other pictures in days coming.

We had a great visit but a very difficult goodbye. How do you say goodbye to someone you know you will not see on this earth again. We love him so much and he has been a wonderful husband to my sister and father and grandfather. I sobbed all the way to the airport, I just could not help it. I was so sorry for my niece but I just could not help it.

So anyway, we are home. Misted you all as my great nephew said to me. Auntie Lea, I misted you. Bless your heart Liam, I will misted you too.

Blessings

Grandsons and other family

Two of my handsome grandsons. Isaac and Lane. They got back from visiting their other grandma late last night so I only got to have them around today. That was OK, their other grandmother is 96.

Bob got home safely about 6 this evening. He is tired and so am I. The house is so quiet. Chrissy and Wendy came out and got dinner and cleaned up. It was so nice. Strawberry Shortcake and ice cream to dessert. I could make myself sick.

I have Bob and I packed. Now just the carry on bag to be sure we have things like our meds etc in that bag. Lots of things to do tomorrow.

Blessings to you this beautiful Sunday,

Many Thanks

Are you going to come feed us? We are waiting.

Sage learning to stand until shes told to move.

Sunset last night. The best time to live out here.

Thank you all for your wonderful birthday greetings. Bob is out of town but Nikki is here. She and I went yard saleing and lunch at Chili's and shopping in the mall. She bought me a lovely outfit. We walked our feet off.

I think I have myself packed and Bob mostly. I want everything ready to close up Monday early so I can clean the frig ect.

Blessings.

A cooler day

I have a problem, kind of a silly one, but a problem none the less and it shows just what a technological idiot I can be. Maybe not an idiot, but challenged for sure. Yesterday I got my new phone. A Samsung Flight II and I think I said I ordered a cover for it. Now that is the problem. I did an order and the computer did something weird, so I did another order, It did the same weird thing so I used a different way to order it and ordered it a third time. Well, that is where the problem lies. I did not check e mails until later today and Guess what?????? I have three coming. I feel quite silly.

So on to other things. Poor little Raspberry is about as wide as she is tall. She is about to start waddling. I need to take a picture. She goes to Shannon's Sunday and will stay until baby is born.

I should have worked Sage today but didn't. Marilyn is coming tomorrow. Sage will get a work out. Maybe I will have some pictures. Bob is about at a point to send her to a trainer if she doesn't be good. I don't know what has gotten into her. She certainly has an attitude. She will get over it though. I did pet her and rub her all over out in the pasture today. She came up to me when I was filling the donkey's water. We moved them. (donks)

So other than mopping floors and making beds for Nikki's arrival on Friday and getting stuff together for leaving for TN next Tuesday, that was my day.

S is for Sister. I have one sister in TN where we are going next week. I love her so much and hate what their family is enduring. I have not seen her in over a year, maybe 2. I think 2 and that about breaks my heart.

Blessings
