jail break and baby goats that go to bed without being told to

 Today was another busy day. My dear friend that is dealing with her husband having a hemorrhagic stroke is now also dealing with vertigo and other issues for herself. I took her walkers that she had loaned DH back to her today as she is needing them for balance. When it rains for her, it pours. Along with both of these issues her great-granddaughter broke her ankle while the family was celebrating the birthday of another grandchild. He would have been 21 yesterday so they all gathered at his graveside in remembrance.

As I pulled up to her home my







youngest called crying that she had been bit by something. So I dropped the walkers on the porch and headed home as quickly as I could. It turned out to be a scrape from from climbing into an old boat to gather chicken eggs. Dad did not show the correct level of empathy so it was time to call mom.

Before dropping the walkers off I attempted to gather a few groceries that were on my list from a mini Walmart, however the shelves were pretty bare. Shopping is getting more challenging each day.

No explanation except that I was too young and I needed to prove my age... hello the fact that I couldn't upload ID without help should prove I am old enough to have an account!! I had my grandchild assist me 😕 )

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
