Another break in...

-

 Well, here it is August and we have been back from the new house about 4 weeks and of course someone decided they needed to break in again. We came back here on the 14th and before the 14th of this month


someone broke into the standalone garage. Second time for that garage and one time for the house is really discouraging. Our neighbor here said she would watch the dogs and cats here so we can go back and secure the other house again. I have decided we are going to put that house back on the market. I have to go to work when we live there just to keep up with the utilities. That makes me uncomfortable as I have to leave the family home alone while I work. 

We have never had problems where we live here and never with our house in the Springs. Not saying it can't happen, just saying it hasn't. So, for me I guess it is better to rid myself of the house that is too big anyway and live where I rather not live. Even though I don't see the grandkids here very often I at least know they are not far away and I have neighbors that I can trust.

Today was Tommy's day to get groomed. He actually did very well. It took us 2 hours a far cry less time than the last time we tried and we did get all 4 paws!!



My daughter brought her grooming tools, and I had mine and we went at it while this little cutie pie created pictures for my fridge. While I took lots of pictures of Tommy's haircut, I cannot seem to get my new phone to attach to the phone link. He looks good and we got his paws done really well.
 The teenagers made spaghetti for everyone and garlic toast. The day wasn't over until I finally heard from best friend, only to learn that a stroke had been experienced and now this friend is somewhat stranded in Hawaii. Okay, I mean if you must be stranded that is the place to be stranded! Although maybe not so much in a hurricane event. 

Hopefully the hospital stay will be short lived, and everyone will return to California and all will be well. 
more rain!

We need this as does the rest of the world

Good morning blog it is the end of the week and homeschooling is in full swing. Both girls are now doing it full time. The older teen is definitely more invested in finishing the work. The younger is still resistive for the most part. However, she is a lot less resistive to this than PS. So, onward we go. Keeping up with the four hours is the hardest part, I forget to write down what we did or maybe I procrastinate and then forget. Either way I have to find the book that was my "tool" to keep track of things, but I have buried it under something. I got up early to pack coolers for the trip to Oklahoma and have been running in circles since. DH had planned to head out by himself and with some of the forgetfulness that has occurred this week it was not what I wanted to happen. In the end he left with the boys following him in the Audi.  I will take care of the animals and kids and try to get done what needs to be done in the meantime. There was a lot more room in the horse trai...

 Hello June, it promised to be a busy month, and it has been. It started with court on the 3rd of the month. We haven't heard anything in regard to that. The 6th of the month brought the teen and I to Arlington Texas for a concert of her choosing. We had a good time and a rapid round trip.  getting ready for concert waiting for the rest of the crowd the young mom that we hung out with on the bus one of the posters she made that we had to toss she planned to take her favorite water cup in but didn't The 11th was another trip with a party on the 14th. A great time was had by all. The return trip was better travel time than the get to the party trip. It was sprinkled with not so good things. In Iowa we witnessed and stopped the car fast enough to at least not become part of a semi-truck versus pickup truck accident. People were not very considerate behind us. I barely got over to the shoulder on the right with the collision in the left lane, and the traffic shot up through the mi...

Only one week left of June

 One week left and still so many things on the schedule. Today we picked up the items that DH purchased at the auction. The kids really enjoyed the gator-type vehicle that he purchased. They each got to drive it around the yard. They both did a surprisingly good job for the first time on such a vehicle. The weather today was especially nice, not too hot and not too cold. The baby goose is getting her feathers in quite nicely and will soon be ready to release to a group of her own kind. In the wild she would remain with her parents for more than a year. She may be able to find a flock and fit right in if she can fly and join them sooner rather than later.  I had to cancel two appointments for, today to accommodate the vehicle pick up and the new teen's mission to adopt a reptile. Mission accomplished after four choice changes in the store. Instead of a Pac-Man frog, or an Anole, or a Bahama Anole, she came home with a Leopard Gecko. Hoping I got the reptile names correct, pleas...
