I'LL MISS YOU LITTLE BUDDY PILGRIM!!! :(

Bye Sweet Pilgrim

Our little Pilgrim died this morning from his injuries.. I can't even write today...

RIP Pilgrim.

Poor Pilgrim

Not so Smart Pilgrim

Izzy and Pilgrim

Bob and I were running errands yesterday. We keep Pilgrim and Izzy out in a big penned in area. Thinking they are safe. Well.....we got home and let the dogs in and Izzy bounces into the house all happy. I keep calling Pilgrim...He finally gets to the door and can hardly move. I'm thinking that he got cut by the fence. He hobbles in, and Bob and I look him over. He has a quarter size hole in his side all the way to his ribs, and under his right leg, there is another cut. He can hardly walk. Not a lot of blood. Bob washes the cuts and doctors them up. Pilgrim can not move. When he does he cries. .....Long story short, our neighbor comes over today, and lets us know Pilgrim got out of the penned in area, went to their house and had a confrontation with their large, wolf mix dog. Dumb Pilgrim. I truly hope Pilgrim learned NOT to leave his pen. Bob took Pilgrim to the Vet today and they gave him antibiotics, pain killers, and a green cream ointment. $80.00 later, Pilgrim is back in his bed, inside healing. He still doesn't want to move. Dumb dog. We told the neighbor it is totally Pilgrim's fault. I am just glad they came over and told us. I guess their dog, who is a killer, slammed Pilgrim to the ground. If the neighbor had not stopped them, Pilgrim would have died. We are lucky. We think Pilgrim has a concussion, because one of his eyes is dilated. So that is the excitment in the life of Gail and Bob today. yee hawwww.

MEMORIAL DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS

So pretty. Above..............and below, Bob on our new ATV......
I love holidays. We went up to see Bob's parents over Monarch Pass at the ranch they take care of. Bob and I bought a used but very fun ATV, and had a blast riding it everywhere. The mountains still had snow on them in a lot of places. I was trying to take a picture of a single humming bird searching for nectar. It was a great time. We drove the ATVs up the mountain across from the ranch. As you can see how big the ranch is. Then Bob's dad saddled up his horse Buck, and I took a picture of him. I LOVE Colorado. The mountains, the weather, the beauty, it is all so Godly to me. So enjoy the pictures and have a great summer! Love, Gail

GOOD TIMES...................

Pictures from a wonderful car show last weekend. I love car shows..

Hellooooo. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the summer. Yee haw. Off for a couple months. Love it.

Went to the Dr. yesterday, She said I have ARTHRALGIA. Don't ask me what it means. I have arthritis in my back and hands and knees. Getting older is so not fun. Plus, she says I still might need an x-ray to see if my back is screwed up from when I fell down the stairs back in Jan.

I want to say a public 'THANK YOU' to my husband Bob. He has been so great the last year. Working so hard at the different power plants across America. Paying off the travel trailer, paying off my car, Helping out his Dad in a big way, and getting new tires put on my car just yesterday. He has come very far in our time together. He has really grown in the Lord. That is the best part. God sure answers prayers!!! Bob has also been revamping the chicken coops. So he has been outside sawing, painting, and being careful. THANK YOU BOB FOR ALL THE COOL THINGS YOU DO FOR ME AND FOR US!

This last week at work has been fun. Tuesday, was the last day with the kids. SAD. I got a very unexpected gift from a family. A framed adorable picture of their boy, and a big gift card for Chili's. Wow. It was so cool. I will so miss the kids. Only two out of 17 are going to Kindergarten so I hope to see the rest during the summer, and next fall. If I am still there. Never know what the summer will bring.

Now, I have to plan for my trip to IL. :) I have missed Molly, Mike and Brockstar and all my family. Mike is recouping from injuring his back. He couldn't even walk. I hope I can help them is some ways. Poor Mike. So, as I end this blog, I shall go check out flights. Yippie...Love and good things.....And Happy and safe Memorial Day. Gail
