I'd have to have one wrapped on my ankle! . Otherwise, no telling where I'd leave it. My phone, OMG, this new one is just waiting to be lost!

You're lucky to REMEMBER you left it in the robe. otherwise a lot more uncounted steps to find it. I used to use my landline to call mine when lost. Haven't had that for several yrs now. It sure helped!!!

Birthday party was a hit. We did cake, presents, then pin the tail on the donkey. Then 6 kids played on the hay bales. They had a ball jumping from one to another. I let Carson out to play. Kids and a big black dog ran amok having lots of fun. The grown ups visited.

Football game got moved from tomorrow night to tonight due to rain tomorrow night. So we went to the game. Our team got smeared. 0 to 54. 15 year old found a principal to talk to and explained who she was, where she was from and that she wanted to do a documentary on small town living as a project in her journalism class at her school. So she’s invited to go to Apple Springs school tomorrow, a girl her age is going to show her around, loan her the camera (she can download it to her laptop) she can interview students and teachers. She is so excited.

It’s been a good day. Kids are knocked out. One of the little girls at the party, lives at the end of the road. She’s 11, coming back Saturday to play.

I walked 2.8 miles today. Tired.

Sounds like a fabulous day all around...

I am impressed with the 15 yr old's project...Good for her... plus she can make some contacts and then when she comes to visit... she can be the "out of town" social butterfly... and have some friends to be able to visit and have "teenage" fun with too. That is great.

And with the one down the road, that will lead to more contacts for them also.... Coming to the farm can be fun but as they get older they also want to "do more".... so wonderful that they can have some options.... and it might make them want to come more often as they get older too....

So really glad it was such a success....

6 year old up at 6:00. Made coffee, took Sentry and Pippa out. Cartoons are on. My first cup of coffee. Then I’ll feed Sentry and give him his medicine. During the party yesterday, I kept him in the sheep lot with Sheba, and the sheep were out on pasture. So he had a couple hours of outside time. His anxiety of losing sight of me is a tiny bit better.

I hear rain!

I checked radar, it’s not heavy and will be blown out by 8:00

There was a coyote in the front field just now. Close to the fence row up by the road, trotting across the field. Carson alerted, hackles up, tail and ears up, growling and let out a couple of barks. Coyote couldn’t come out at the driveway, it must’ve gone out through the grown up fence row, out on the road.

When I started reading that line I thought maybe she was trying to get some leads on potential friends or something LOL She's a doer!!!! Good for her.

Wow, that was a very nice thing she did for you so you could sleep in

That idea made me think I could make a phone case with velcro to attach to ankle. Then I realized that when phone would ring that I would run everywhere looking for phone since I would forget it was attached to ankle!

I actually made a few with old blue jeans that were torn beyond what I would wear (LOL could probably have sold those to the "Valley" girls for big bucks - "Ranch Worn Jeans"
But I've digressed -- cut the bottom of the lag - sewed it shut (existing hem becomes the open top) then sewed part of the waistband with belt loops to the new "top". Viola. IT works --when you put the phone in it .When I remember to use one at least my phone doesn't fall out when I'm on the tractor!

Picture of jean cell phone carrier? I can't picture... don't have a very good imagination... but sounds like it might be something I could use... At least I am pretty good with the sewing machine.
