cabin fever!

Monday morning when my manly man asked if I wanted to join him and grandkids for an outing, I hurriedly got ready! I needed out! What was our outing? Picking out baby chicks with Bethie and the kiddles. They are going to be surrogate parents for the next month or so. Needless to say it was such fun watching them, and oh, is there anything cuter then new baby chicks?



Another star attraction was the parrot. He's
very sweet and sings beautifully. Seriously.
He did a rendition of "On Top of old Smoky".





Farmer John





Lucy had just gone to the denist and this
was the prize she chose when she left.
(Oh, man it hurts to laugh)




Here's the babies all set up in their garage. When we drove
up to their house I heard Britton say to the neighbor "We got baby chicks! Our first pet ever!" So cute.







The sick room!

After this fun outing I made my manly man take me to Target. I didn't last long but it felt good. Thanks for all the well wishes, and no Cro I'm not the suffer in silence type.....used to be. I have a bell and I don't hesitate to ring it!
Doing alot better today.
I'm on a full liquid diet now, which is a step up from broth, jello,and popsicles! Now, I can have soup and yogart. Hey, you take
what you get!

    Your sick room makes me a little homesick. I'm glad you're progressing on the food consumption front.

    Lucy should be Mario for Halloween.

    And I bet you're not like me either. I make a huge fuss over a small splinter!

    Get well soon Linda; just keep dreaming of steak and chips, it won't be long!

    It is good to hear you are up and about. We don't spring back as easily as we used to, but all good things come to him who wait.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
