07/07/07**************So Cool

Oh wow, it's 7/7/07. Sounds lucky to me. I have my plane ticket to WI/IL so I guess I am lucky. I will be there from July 16-31. A nice long relaxing trip. I plan on seeing all my family and doing fun stuff. But more than anything, I want to spend days playing with Brock!!! Yea.
So much to write. I was bummed I missed my families 17 hour Slumberfest. That sounded so fun. See my nephew, Greg's blog on this.
I gotta tell you the weird, funny stuff that has happened in the last couple days. Last weekend, there was a car show at a strip mall near us. I got to hold an albino snake around my neck as I was holding a three foot long alligator. Ok, no big deal. Yesterday I was sitting in the car waiting for Bob at Wal-Mart and a butterfly flies into the car and flies around me, then lands on the bottle of water I had in the car. It sat there for a little bit, about 4 minutes then flew off. So weird. Then we get home later that day and a cute, little bat is perched up on our porch. Cool. Ok A few weeks ago I put up and filled a hummingbird feeder on our porch and I have seen ONE hummingbird drink from it, BUT.... I see this beautiful bright yellow bird drinking from it all the time. It's a hummingbird feeder. I just feel blessed when I get to see such neat and different things in my life.
The other day Bob and I went to the ranch my in-laws take care of. We saw fireworks in Gunnison Colorado. Very good ones! Bob's dad, Bob's brother Ray, Bob and I went fishing the next day. It was mighty fun but I was the only one who didn't catch a fish. That's ok. I had fun. They caught rainbow trout.

I love Colorado so much. The beauty of this state overwhelms me. The endless mountainsides of trees, the huge mountains, the rivers and creeks, the different colors of birds, the rock formations. So much to absorb. I love it here !

Bob and I are looking for a house of our own to buy. It is fun and hard work all at the same time. We found one house I loved in town that had nice bedrooms, two bathtubs, fruit trees, raspberry bushes, flowers, trees, and I loved it. But, Bob wants to have a chicken coop and maybe a pig or two, so we can't get a house in town. We did find another house in the same town we live in now. It is above our price range but, we may try to make a deal. A cowboy lives there and it so happens he goes to the same church we do. And it is on a couple acres. The next door neighbors have alpacas, horses, cats, and I think I saw a donkey. It would work out well so say a prayer. God knows what will happen. It is all in His hands. If we don't get that house, we will find something. God will show us...

Bob and I saw the movie "Evan Almighty" today. Very cute !!!. Go see it. Then do the dance. Funny stuff.

Tomorrow the American Bulldog puppies will be six weeks old. Wow that went fast. Bob and I will go over and give them their first shots. I can't wait to see how big they are. I hope they can sell them all for the price they are worth. They sure are beautiful. Anyone interested?

Ok I've rambled on and on again. Just trying to catch you up on life. Have a fun filled weekend and next week too. Until next time................ Peace
