. I hate to hear that M is having Cody visit him. We know what that is like. Was his procedure already scheduled anyway? What about the ultrasounds? Is this all new information? I will have him and you in my prayers. Will someone be going with him for the ultrasounds on Thursday. I hope he isn't going alone. His kids will probably be quiet for a while. Since he just sent them all that they wanted. Ready for Dreamland....I am hoping for a better nights sleep. Sis will get her bath tomorrow, then her appointment on Thursday. I have several errands to run on Thursday so we leave early and get them all done and then back home after were done at the vets, the temps are going to be nearly 90 degrees. I won't have to get out of the car so I won't have to leave Sis in the car....will meet you under the tree later...sending love, hugs and kisses!

Hello Susan. I am doing fine now. I still have some burred vision but it will clear in time. I have some other age related health issues but they are being taken care of by a great doctor and me working together.
I hope that you had a lovely Mothers day and that you will have a wonderful week.

Night time sprinkles....thank you again for the lovely card. Yes I was so surprised when you said look in your mailbox. Sis did good, especially with your help. No wonder she has so much love for her mother in love. I hope you enjoy your evening and that dinner is good....if you have any of those egg rolls left over bring to Dreamland....those sound really yummy. I saw my first hummer early this morning. We went out this afternoon, and I didn't see any. So maybe tomorrow. I will be calling tomorrow to get Sis in for her follow up blood work. I'm praying for a good result. I hope you were able to maneuver the day without too many sad thoughts. I hope you were able to remember Bill and your Mama with fond memories. Ready for Dreamland....will meet you under the tree later....once again thank you for the lovely surprise today...it was so special and so are you. Sis is sending extra love to her mother in love, but she said she will love you up good in Dreamland....our pups are gonna finish out our day with lots of love and entertainment....see you there....sending lots of love, hugs and kisses!

It must have been a twin to the one about 10 minutes ago! I changed up my garden after the first one!

Night time sprinkles...a very low key day here today. Just wasn't really motivated. So glad your spring flowers are blooming. That is always so good to see, gives hope that maybe old man winter has gone on vacation for a while. Did you work on the porch or dredge the pond? You seem very relieved to have had the talk but still apprehensive about if any action will happen. Very unsettled feeling I'm sure. Hopefully it will happen soon, as it is becoming a pressing issue. I know one thing once the repairs are done I sure wouldn't open the dining for the critters. They are wild animals and just trying to get to some food if available they don't care if they are doing damage to someones home. I know it is cute but having to repair damage is not going to be cheap if you have to keep the repairs up year after year. Once and done....or at least for a long time. I will try and reach out to animal control tomorrow to see if they have made contact. I will also let them know I am starting documentation and I will set the trail cam up to get photographic evidence. I'm not going to let this go. I know they probably have to follow a certain protocol and I am willing to let them do their job but I'm not going to let it slide. It's just to risky. Glad you will be letting DeLyle to start the mowing for the season. I know you are excited to have Kathy back up at the farm. It won't be long, just a few more weeks. Ready for Dreamland....will meet you there later...sending lots of love, hugs and kisses!

Night time sprinkles. We had a mostly sunny day getting some light showers this evening. Yes you will have to choose your words wisely when it comes to the kids. I can understand you losing respect for them. It is hard to have respect for someone who seems to take advantage of a loved one. That was a lot of money. I hope the gravity of it all sinks in once they see how much they asked for and in such a short period of time. I know taking a stance may also put him in a new situation he wasn't prepared for and may even be a worse situation. My mom always used to have a saying. I can say what I want about mine, but you don't have the right to say what you want about mine. She was one fierce mama bear. Very protective. So yes tread lightly. When do you think you might be invited back over to Pond? I know you are wondering about when that might happen. Yes things certainly started moving quickly once the wheels got to turning. Happy for you. I know you must be thrilled. I am hoping to get the flowers this weekend but we will see. Ed is working tomorrow and not sure what time he will get home. Yes the columbine is coming up, it is a pale color. Not as many come back this year. I will have to replant some seeds I think. Yes I am being very aware of my surroundings when Sis and I are outside. I sure don't want another incident like earlier this week. Yes it is heart breaking about Gus....I can imagine how upset Molly is. I keep praying he will come home....but unfortunately not one sighting of him. I hope you had a good day/evening. I did get in the office today so I was pleased. Ready for Dreamland....will meet you there later...sending love, hugs and kisses!

Hi Susan - what an interesting story. Love the idea of slave escape tunnels.

Morning sprinkles....Yes the ordeal was quite scary with the pit bull. I think it all happened so fast that Sis nor I really knew what to think, I just snatched her up real quick and put her in the house. It sure was too close for comfort. I'm not sure if I will know what happens with the animal control. I'm not sure how that works, I don't know if they will give her a verbal warning first, then start documentation about this. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she doesn't come to the door if they knock. So we will see. I will have to be ever so vigilant from now on. Ed's appointment went well. They did a A1c on him while he was there because we have to have labs done elsewhere and it was 6. They were pleased. We didn't go to the garden center to get my bedding plants, it is rainy and cold today here. I'm sure you are pleased with the progression of things of recent events. It is so nice M offered to do your laundry for you. Probably a good idea for you to do your shopping today so you won't have to deal with that mess if it does rain. If your road work people are anything like here in Il. it won't be done by Memorial day. It takes forever for the road crews to finish anything here. They certainly are in no hurry to get it done. If I hear anything from animal control I will let you know but I have a feeling I won't. I hope you have a good day. Ed will be leaving later this afternoon to go back down to work, not sure what time, we will see. Enjoy your day! Dinner plans tonight? sending you lots of love, hugs and kisses!

We have to leave shortly for Ed's dr appt and run a few errands. Will finish my rounds and write then. No worries!

I hope front wall didn't get too long....but this what happened this afternoon. I was outside with Sis and Ed was home working in his garage, Sis was doing her business and had just finished and was just sniffing. All of a sudden a hear Ed yelling and stomping coming from behind me, I just reached down and pinned Sis where she stood, at that moment the next doors pit bull came about a foot from Sis and Ed was on his heels. I was scared and furious, so I told Ed to go over and address the situation. I got Sis in the house and went out to see what he was saying to them. This dog is the one I believe I have told you about, the ones who moved in a year ago with the heathen children, and leaves their trash and such in the yard for the dogs to tear up. The lady of the house, told Ed their fence was broken and she was home alone with the kids. Ed in a harsh voice told her, her fence being broken was not his problem and her being home alone was not his problem, but that if they didn't keep that dog in their yard he would take care of it.
