Catching Up

I spent the month of July in Pryor with Sam and I am behind on my Blog reading and writing. So I will be playing catch up for the next few days. I certainly did miss my computer but there was no Internet in the little RV park we were in.

Now that I'm back home, I am catching up on some errands...paying bills, taking my van in for some work, seeing friends and relatives, etc. I am enjoying "puttering" around the house. It is very relaxing.

The actual temperature today was 105 degrees here! I went out around 3 o'clock to water the chickens and saw that 4 of them were out of the pen. Not sure how they are getting out but Dickens (our 11 year old Brussels Griffon pictured above, and yes, his tongue does hang out like that all the time) was able to run all of them back in but one. It's just so hot here that we couldn't stay out too long chasing chickens...so that last hen is on her own for now.

I wonder about those chickens...they are smart enough to get out of the pen when the gate is closed, but not smart enough to go back in when the gate is open! Even with Dickens herding them they ran right past the open door...silly biddies. They also haven't started laying any eggs yet. If I were to put an empty KFC bucket in the pen, do you think they would get the message?

To my Blogger friends, I will be stopping by your Blogs soon to catch up on all your news. Until then, happy typing and...((Hugs))

So Much To Report!

Sam is back to work! Whoopee!!!

And I am here at home taking care of the garden and our pets. Sam's company is sending him to Canada to install a conveyor line at a Gatorade plant there...but I won't be going with him on this trip.

I will stay home with our 3 dogs, 1 cat, our cockatiel, and 9 chickens, to keep the home fires burning. And I hate it that I can't go with my hubby!! Oh well...we do what we have to in this life, don't we.

Connor is doing well. He is fighting his battle with Leukemia bravely! After the first bone marrow transplant didn't work, we were a bit terrified!!

But the second transplant has all the indications of being a success!! And we thank God for that!!

Hang in there, Con-Man! We love you!!

This photograph is of our cockatiel, "Jodie-Bird". She loves to "help" me when I am on the computer. She is fascinated by the keyboard and my typing. Crazy bird!... I just love her!!
