Sunday Funday........

A blue egg among the brown...I love it.

Momma and Baby, Benny
Mooooove over, I'm here....
Our happy chickens and loud roosters..

Sunday. I was late getting to church today because I went to the pasture where the cows are and there was a little, black, bull, baby just a couple hours old. He is so cute. I named him Benny. Don't know why. He looks like a Benny. His momma is a big red Angus. I noticed she has 6 utters. Whoa 6? Yes. So Benny is outside with momma.

I have been getting lots of eggs lately from our chickens. And TODAY...we got our very first aqua colored egg from our araconna(sp) hens. They have green legs and the prettiest rust, brown, and blueish feathers. So I am so excited to get our first blue egg. I got 14 eggs today altogether. The other day I collected 16. They are so good and so fresh. I had a couple for breakfast. Just laid eggs. The ones in the stores you buy have been out of the chicken for weeks! Gross. Our yokes are orange. Store yolks are faded yellow. Its so fun looking for the eggs everyday. Five in this nest, 3 in this nest, then in the other building 8 more. It's like Easter egg hunting everyday. I love it.

I went to the in laws house today and Art was baking cookies with his granddaughter. I got there at the right time. Raisin, oatmeal and coconut cookies. I put ice cream in their freezer. Tee hee. So it was a fun day and I even got to take a nap after church. Now I watch the Academy Awards. Peace. Oh and I am feeling much better...

I LOVE THIS PICTURE....BROCK AND GRAMMA

FINALLY WENT TO THE DOCTOR

Brock and Gramma Gail's hands.

I went to work today but after the bus ride picking up the kids, I just felt yucky. I made a DR. appt and went home. At home I went back to bed, and when I got up it was almost time for my appt. 4:00 I'm there. I have insurance so that helps. $30.00 co-pay. Yippie. She looked in all the normal places and the diagnoses are :

1. Acute Sinusitus (well at least its cute.)

2. Acute Bronchitis (another cute one)

3.Acute Otitis Media which really means an Ear infection.

three 'cute' infections.

I am now on Cephalexin 500 AGAIN .

I thank all the cute little children I work with for my fun, and a'cute' illnesses.

I also told her about my falling down the stairs Jan. 25, and she checked that. Still bruised. I love how she worded it: Right flank-right hip and flank-slight swelling.

I said I felt like a cow. She said she fell a year ago, same place on the backside and it will take months to heal. Joy.

I do want to thank Wal-Mart for their $4.00 prescriptions. What a blessing for that. It's great. $4.00!! I saved a lot.

So I am on the mend. One more kid coughs in my face and I'll scream. I will not be going to work tomorrow............KA CHOWWWW

President's Day

Hey Bob is coming home for a week the end of the month. Then off to Texas. I'll miss him....... again. Life.

I have a very yucky chest cold. It hurts when I cough. I am so glad I am off tomorrow. Thank you President Washington and Lincoln. I am off to bed. It's almost 10 pm. Next Friday is Bob's Birthday. It is also his Brother's Birthday. Only 7 years difference. Bob is the Baby. Happy Birthday boys! Blessings and Love, Gail

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. LOVE, GAIL

Warm February Monday............

MY FAVORITE BOY IN THE WORLD..

It is 6:54 pm. Monday night. It was 55 degrees here today. :) You just needed a jacket on. Loved it. Suppose to be warmer tomorrow. Kids had recess outside and played on jungle gyms.
I fed and watered chickens after work and I got 8 eggs today!!! That is so great. All brown. Thats the fun part. Looking for them. And giving them special extras, like oranges and avocados. They love it.
Pilgrim had to go to the Vet today. He got a tooth pulled. A baby tooth he never lost. He did fine. Plus is was cheaper than they quoted. Yay.
Bob comes home for 13 days Feb. 25. I hope it will be nice. I am feeling very unloved and very unappreciated by him. Please pray for us. I am VERY down. I guess the distance between us, is really getting to me. I do not want to be an alone, married woman. This stinks. I guess because this is Valentines week, and I will be alone......again. But I really don't feel that loving feeling I deserve on Valentine's week. I miss Valentine's Day with going out to dinner, hotels, chocolates, flowers maybe, bubble baths for two, wine, LOVE. Yes, LOVE. I miss LOVE.
But for all you people out there who have someone that LOVES you, have fun!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. Make it special, and love eachother. God bless you.
