It's a Miracle

At least that is what Robert says.  A little Nanny.

There was a billy, but he did not make it.  Maybe we will call her Lady M.

It is overcast, but not raining right now.  I walked 5 miles.  

We are off to Church.

Bill Bailey is hoome

In March, George loaned Sir Author to Linda and JT.  They brought him home yesterday.  He is prettier now and looks more like a real billy.  That may be because they feed their goats everyday.  We do not feed in the summer at all. 

Bertha is still the boss.

The kids like the 4 wheeler, but Daddy and Papa really like it.

Hannah got 2 new chests for her room so she has room for all her clothes.  We are painting her night stand and mirror to match.  She wants them all the same.  The mirror is ready for Daddy to hang.  We may paint her two little tables this afternoon.

We bought garden plants and flowers, but we have not gotten the flowers in the ground.  It has been very wet.  The garden is planted, but it is full of weeds.  George took the little tiller for a spring tune up.  It will be back sometime this week, but it is way to wet to till.  I  have some onions, radishes and lettuce.  I planted tomatoes, green peppers, squash, cukes, and cantalope.  And one pumpkin vine Robert planted in Mrs. Barnharts class.

Today, it is raining again.  I have not been waking nearly as much but I did 7 miles yesterday.  I cant't remember how many miles I have.

The Tax Man Callith

Greg got rained out at work at noon today.  He went by the casino close by where he works and won a jackpot.  He was very excited.

I got a new phone, a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini.  I think I am going to like it.  It can be used as a pedometer and a heart rate monitor,  I already have a very good pedometer, but the heart rate thingy is nice.  I had planned on using it as a GPS on our trip this summer.  But, it can also be used as a hotspot, so I could hook it to this tablet and have a large screen GPS.

Two more days at work. Work has piled up from taking the two days off, but the boss is not there this week, so it has been an easy  week.  I should get all caught up next week.

I am looking forward to  the weekend.  No plans, just do what I  want.

Camping on the Buffalo

We camped at Ozark campground on the Buffalo Friday and Saturday night.  Kids had a great time fishing and swimming.  I hiked from Ozark to Pruitt, 2.5 miles.  It was a nice hike.  We are planning our next camping trip.

George lost his phone, but now he has a new one. I also ordered a new smartphone form me.  You know, smartphone, dumb person.

Helen wants to know

why I have not been posting.  It is because I am in Mt. Vernon Ill, 409 miles from home, sleeping under a bridge.  I have walked 100 April miles and have 2 days left in the month.  I walked 5.5 miles tonight, around by Fred Smother's to see what his great grandkids and thrown into the road since last Sunday.  I found 2 beer cans, which is not bad considering that stretch of the road had as much or more trash than any of the others before.

And, I have been reading.  I got a few books at the library last week. I read Laura Wilder's new book and one by a survivor of the Armenian genocide.  I enjoyed both books.  And, since we are studying the gospels on Wednesday, I am trying to read the one we study each week.  Last week it was Mathew, this week Mark.  I read both and will start on Luke, to read it through before next Wednesday.  I also trying to start back on the OT, but it is slow going.  I am to Isaiah 20.  I stalled out on the Bible reading sometime around the first of March and just started back this week.  I think I was about half way through Isaiah but could not remember so I started back towards the first of that book.  I was reading on my lunch break but since it is warmer now, I have gone back to using lunch as naptime.

Then too, last weekend, the kids decided they wanted to play on my tablet/computer again.  For the last month they have hardly ever picked it up, but now one of them has it every night.

And, she only posts once a week.

Mt. Vernon is about the size of Harrison,  I am a little less than 200 miles from Louisville, KY.
