Saturday, Fifteen and counting

Today, ALL the kids, that is ALLLLL the kids went to SDC. and ALL the grandparents, ALL the grandparents did not.

Kids had a great time.

I took George to Mediquick because he has been feeling bad.  They gave him a shot and pills.  He is feeling much better tonight.

And, Aunt Helen and Greg caught the five little billy goats and took them off to market.  Helen said it was dumb and Dumber.  I told them there were 5 billies, but either they could not remember how many or could not count to 5.  They caught all the little ones, twice, before they were satisfied they had all the billies.  We wanted to get rid of the billies before Bertha and Little Grey got bred again so they could have a rest.  Greg says he is never doing this with Helen again unless he gets to be Boss.

All in all, a very good day.

Back to work in one more day.

Yesterday

We took flowers to Alpena and put them on the graves.

The purple one on Janet's grave.

And saddles on these two.  They were beautiful.

Today

Sunrise over Dry Creek.

George and I mowed the cemetery this morning.  It looks much better.

And, Helen went to the airport to get Missy.  They are here now, her and the two boys.  Krissy is making spaghetti for all of us.

On the way home, Helen picked up her red car.  She got a new windshield in it.

It has rained a tad today, but not bad.  I took a 3 hour nap after the cemetery work.

If anyone is hungry, come on over.  We have a fridge full of left overs.

Brother

No pictures

Robert had been sick since Tuesday night with the stomach virus.  Finally, Thursday I took him to the Dr.  Yesterday, he was better and today he is pretty much back  to normal, but for 3 days he was really sick and would not eat at all.

And, we gave the little billy that Crazy Patsy could not keep up with to Linda and JT.  Now she only has the one brown nanny and no more lost babies.  I want to call the brown goat June Bug, but Hannah named her Chocolate.  I am thinking June Bug.  But then I have a little grey goat called June, as in Johnny and June.  Maybe I will just change her name to Johnny since Johnny is long gone.

And, George is loving his brush hog.  The fields are looking so much better.

For the last 3 days, I have taken a nap in the afternoon.  Today, I napped for 3 hours. It is really hard to keep George on task while napping for that long, so I think I will have to cut back an hour or so.
