I have a few extra moments this morning, maybe so I thought that I’d write a little. We’ve had a couple days this week of 30° weather after the wind blew through. And, we’ve had a few mornings of 1°. This morning, it is 13°. I sure wish we’d get just a little more snow so the dirt and rocks would quit getting stuck to people’s shoes before they come indoors!! Also, 'cause Pat and self want to start using our ski/snoshoe trail...but just not enough sno...
Tommy G our cowman, called last Tuesday to say that he and Penny (his sis) had arrived safely at his mom’s. I see from facebook that Meg (Tommy's oldest) has now gone down there too. And that they all went to some NBA game. Glad they are having a good fam reunion of sorts...trying to get the aged parent into a nursing home situation.
I got a detailed report last week on how the community of Delta reached out to Andrew and Melannie Cummings helping them get situated at home in an almost brand new home! Very impressive. Their new baby has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome. They will have their hands full with that plus their other 3 kids all under 10...God bless them! I am expecting a call sometime, perhaps I can be of help in the DS area...
Erica, my niece, did make it home safely to the farm this week. After arriving, she found out that her husband, Robert, won’t be shipped for two more months. She was a little sad. The plan was that he was being shipped right after she arrived in AK. Kelsey, her sister and my other niece, came home for a long weekend this weekend. They both left today Sunday before my very scrumptious supper of Chinese marinated beef and veggies with raspberry sauce and whipped cream on coconut flavored pound cake...as dessert. This was my cook crews Sunday supper, all went well considering that we only have two adults on the crew and two young school girls. Thanks ladies! you were awesome...
I realize (after Flori told me) that in my long farm report that I said that the horses said certain things. Well, the horses don’t talk, obviously. Tony spoke about the horses to say…. Last week, that sick horse, Fin, died. The night of his death, my kids wouldn’t allow me to play any chipper music – only slow melancholy songs were allowed. Can you believe them? When the horse was alive, Tony would let it out of his pen to graze wherever he felt, hoping that grazing and walking around would help him improve. It was strange to look up from my work and see a white horse in my yard eating my grass. Later, it became adventurous and was even grazing up near the schools. Sad story and totally preventable death, but I will not get into that, to protect the perpetrators...hummm...they owe us a horse as far as I'm concerned...a totally preventable and dumb lack of experience mistake...
Kathy Casey leaves today for a week or so of being with her mom. Kathy’s mom recently had a hip replacement surgery. Lynn has been with their mom for a week or so, now it’s Kathy’s turn. And, their visits will overlap so they will get to see each other.
Bonnie’s mom has been under the weather for several days last week with they’re not sure what. We are praying that she will feel better soon.
Big Pat is going to Glennallen and somewhere else in southern Alaska for his yearly piano tuning tour. He will be gone for a week...what's that saying about "when the cat's away the mice will play?"...hummm...anywayz that's what we'll do I guess...the cabin gets rather small and cramped when everybody is here...now that Pat and May are back...
Last week was a blur so I’m not sure I have all the news. But, for now, this will have to do. Have a great week.
