Its been a busy weekend.

Seth turned 12 on Friday but had a little celebration on Saturday afternoon. He got money from everyone because he is saving for some piece of electronic stuff that I can't remember what was. He is going to go to Middle School this fall and I am sure he will turn out for basketball. He is going to be tall and that, next to drumming is his love. That is his Aunt Debbie sitting beside him and we were all laughing because they were trick candles.

I don't know whose horse this is but that was such a cute baby I just stopped ands took his picture while he was taking an afternoon nap.

Saturday we worked around here and then off to Seth's party. Came home fed and went to our Back Country Horsemen meeting in Hayden, Idaho. I was so bushed when we got home I just collapsed into bed.

We went to church this morning and while we were in town we went to Big R for some salt blocks and chicken feed ect. We just ambled around and looked at things. I could spend a fortune in there.

This afternoon Chrissy, Wendy and Nikki came out to get Bob's old dresser. They were glad to get it and we were glad its gone. Wendy did some things on my computer that needed doing and I didn't know how. Bless her heart. She keeps me straight.

I put Sage out to eat grass but she decided she did not want to stay in the back yard so I went and picked up the rope and took her out by the road to eat. She did not mind the cars, nor the motorcycle but she freaked out at a lady walking. That does not make sense. I have her going in and out of the trailer calmly. That was a big step. We are getting closer to the first step up on her back.

I am having a terrible time with this diet the doctor wants me on for a month. When you do not have a gall bladder all this salad does not work well. I spent 50.00 at the grocery store this afternoon on fruit and veggies for me to eat. Must figure out the protein though. I do not have any energy and I know its not good for me to have 1 hard boiled egg a day. Just am doing the best I can.

Blessings

Auction, Yard Sale Day

We have not had a day like this for a long time. We left home 7:15 this morning for the auction. Not a lot that I wanted to pay much for but we did get 5 chairs. Three metal folding chairs and 2 oak chairs. Not alike. One needs a little repair but will be beautiful when I get them all painted.

We came home had a little lunch and went to look at some pasture for the cows and their babies. Its 20 acres with good fencing and they will water all for free. Bob was so tickled. Now if the last of the calves would arrive, we would be all set.

On the way home from the auction we had stopped at a yard sale and bought a lovely chest of drawers for Bob. It holds way more than his old one which is OLD. It was my step dads. We got some other things too, smaller items. After looking at the pasture, we stopped and picked it up. And then we stopped at another yard sale and bought a beautiful set of wicker arm chairs and a little matching table. Bob will go get them in the morning. Good buys on all of the things. It was a fun day.

When we got home we put Candy and her two children out to pasture. Jazzy ran like a racehorse around and around. Marco made one lap and then just looked at her. Candy was too busy eating grass. We put the horses out to eat. Rosie and Pepper get tied out and Sage just stays close. I put the pasture horses out to eat too. They are all looking good.

I am hang dog tired and my feet are shouting at me so think my day is about over.

A Great Birthday

The Spokane River is flooding like so many others. The geese were enjoying this.
Isn't she cute. She is 5 days old and her name is Hazel. She is a cutie.

My sister Sharon sent me the shirt. I do love Tennessee. Especially because that is where my one and only sister lives. I was putting Sage away after she had been eating grass for a couple of hours.

The birdhouse Katie got me. It is so cute. I love it.

Rosie that we can tie anywhere and she eats and never pulls. If gas gets over 4.00 a gallon, she is going to get used ALOT. She loves to pull a cart. They better start putting hitch rails up around like they have in Amish country.

Bob got called out to a Search and Rescue at 4 this AM. They found the boy and girl who had been riding a motorcycle when it broke down and they "happened" to find an abandoned camper. A 17 year old boy and a 14 year old girlfriend sounds a little fishy to me. It got quite a group of people and their parents out looking.

Bob got me a laptop computer. I wanted one so bad. Now I need to get a Router what ever that is for it to work right. I have wanted one, a laptop, so I can take it places with me but I do need some help getting it set up. Love love love it.

We went out to look at a farm auction that is going to be tomorrow. A couple of things I would like. Then we went and got a load of hay and I got to play with their baby mule. She is a spitfire. Then we came home, cleaned up and went to dinner. I mostly ate salad and veggies but I did have a spoonful of mashed potatoes and gravy, no dessert though. Dr. Fuhs better appreciate this. I may never want to look at a salad again when this month is out.

So it was a good day. Nothing exciting to others but it was a fun day for me just spending it with Bob and not being hurried up.

Blessings

Sage

These are all older pictures of Sage. Today was a great day with her but its very hard to get pictures when I am working close with her. Today Bob held her for me by a bale of hay and I layed my entire weight on her and rubbed and rubbed her. I did it over and over. She did not raise her head or pin her ears. She just stood there relaxed. She did look one way what my hands were doing on that side of her and then at what the rest of me was doing hanging on the other side. She did not step away, just stood there. I wanted to do a happy dance for sure. Then I took her and let her eat grass for about an hour.

Thank you for your kind words in your comment. That is kind of how I feel today. I will do the best I can, Cindy, and Dr. Fuhs will have to live with it. It has been 8 years since he put in my stent and for the most part all has been well.

Love our nice weather. have been waiting for it.

Blessings

LalalalalalalalalalaLa I am not listening

No new pictures tonight but these were cheery and I sort of need that this evening.
Today was my checkup visit with my cardiologist. I feel so good I thought he might just pat me on the head and say see you in six months.

Well that didn't happen. I have not gained an ounce and the only part of my recent blood work was my triglycerides were high but they always are no matter how good I eat or the exercise I get. BUT he told me he wanted me to lost 30 pounds and to not eat any type of bread or bread products and no potatoes or rice and to eat only yogurt and salads for the next month. I have been eating good and only having ice cream occasionally.

I will start getting more exercise when our weather improves. Anyway I am whining and admit it. I can not eat like that. So, I am kind of down in the dumps this evening. They drew blood to see if I am diabetic. I am not 3 weeks ago my blood sugar was 104. That sounds normal to be. Oh well. I will be 73 this week and I am doing the best I can. Dr. Fuhs, I am not listening.

Before I had to go to town and see my wretched doctor, I did play with Sage a little bit. I used Cowboy Magic on her mane and got the dreadlocks and wind knots all out. Most of her mane was fine but about 4" in the middle was a mess. Its all pretty now.

Blessings

Rain Rain and Rain

It rained almost all day long, literally poured. Bob remembered the job he had started a year ago. Yes, A year ago and he worked on it some more today. I hope its not a year until he does more on it. But don't want it to rain like this either.

I made a rhubarb cobbler , got dinner took a long nap and that was my day.

Blessings
