New things

Structures, tires, shocks and pretty soon, new baby goats.


Well,this is none of those things.  It is a coyote I saw in Dan's pasture Sunday morning on my walk. 


This is the carport we got last Wednesday.  I really like it.


This is the goat barn with 9 sheets of tin on the roof.  It was cold and rainy today, so George did not get any more done. With a couple of sunny days, he should be able to the the roof finished and start on the sides.

Today, he got new tires for my truck.  He has bought new shocks, but does not have them on yet.


This is the goats running to me thinking I am going to feed them, when all I was doing was trying to get a vantage point for the goat barn roof.


These are the three nannies that will kid in the next few weeks.


Little Red is within a few days of kidding.


Boots will be another couple of weeks.


And Patches about the same.

I am anxious to have new babies.

The oven on my cook stove is not working.  Gilbert says it is the igniter and he is going to order a part and fix it.  I was going to try to buy a new stove, but that is a big shore.  He also brought Helen a new to her cook stove and refrigerator.  He had to take the fan off her old fridge and put it on the replacement, but now it works fine.  She is trying to bake bread in the new oven now to test it out.  They both look much better than what she had.  

She has been sick, but she went to the dr today and got drugs.  Hopefully she will be better soon. Everyone who went to Church with me Sunday has been sick all week.  There must be a moral there somewhere.

Winnie's woman


Showed them this time.  Now, on to stump the trump all the way to the big white house.  Tuesday, I am going to vote for her.  I remember the first time I voted for a man from Arkansas for President, the first time I voted for a non-white man for President, 2016 will be the first time I vote for a non-man for President.

I have been at a loss as to why the non-trumper did not decide on one candidate and get rid of the others.  I now think it is because they know if it is one on one, he will win.   I believe the faithful think widening the spread by keeping all the cards in the race till the last dog dies they can bring on a brokered convention.  If it goes for broke, Trump will not be their nominee.

Debbie Lee Powell


I remember taking this.  She did not want to touch the cedar tree because it had stickers.  Taken below Mama's bedroom window.


Debbie and Gilbert


Just Debbie, I am sure we took these to send to Patsy in California.


Debbie, the barn, and dog.


Debbie in the swing.  Note little trees.


Mama and Debbie. Patsy probably took this.


Mama and Debbie in swing.


Debbie with her cats on the back porch.  We have a picture of Barbara holding a baby taken this same day.

Photos from Patsy's collection


This was labeled as below.

Back row, Louisa, Jonell, Mary, Francis Sue
Front Barb, Esther, and Cindy


Helen and I kept some Patsy's collection when she passed.  Mostly we kept photos that were not of her and her children, like this one of the Rudd family.  There was a couple of old ones of Patsy.  I sort of wish we had kept more of Dillard's family, but that is the dead person hunter in me.

I have scanned several and put them in a google album  here
I have made the album public [I think], so someone needs to click on the link and see if it works.

News or no news

Mostly, lately, it has been no news from me.



A streak across the sky in the early morning, that is me.


Saturday, I walked over to the Coin bridge and then down the far side of Dry Creek back home.  I will not be doing that again, but I did it once.  When I crossed back across the creek, I did not know where I was, but sorta recognized this scene when I came out of the brush along the bank.


Sunday, I went for a walk down to the creek with two Grandma Gaddy's and this little girl.



This is the view from the above hill.


Two Grandma Gaddy's crazy as loons.


The girl is going to be in the GF beauty review.  This is  her dress.


We need sparkly shoes and choker.  We may go to Branson this week end to shop.


The red line is the line I took when I walked this last spring.  The purple line was the crazy ladies excursion Sunday.

Today is half way and Church night.

I have the answer

Elect Hillary and she can nominate the O to the court.  Two for the price of one.
