A FAST acting respiratory infection got Timmy the lamb. I treated him but to no avail. Darn. My eyes are on the others. Seems like weaning and horn growth put the boys in jeopardy for a month or so. Then they grow like weeds.

I’m so sorry you lost your lamb.

I’m so sorry you lost your lamb.

Timmy apparently had karma. Mom didn’t like him best (Smothers Brothers). He got stuck in a variety of situations that the dogs alerted me to, i swear I heard one of them say “Really?”. But I thank you. I hate to lose them.

I'm getting there! The cough is finally getting better, not gone yet, but its better. I was just so run down, it's taking awhile to get over this crud. The best thing I could do is nothing. Boring, but I guess I just needed the rest. I've watched a lot of TV. If you want your brains to turn to oatmeal mush, just start flipping stations. I have had no ambition for much of anything. It took awhile for me to get here, it will take awhile for me to get back to being me.

I went to Frankston yesterday to get a beautiful cedar porch swing, a birthday present for my sister. She will be so surprised! There is a guy on the town square there that does sawmill stuff and builds porch swings. I don't know yet how I'll get it to her, with this crud, I need to stay far, far away from her. She has COPD and other health problems, she doesn't need what I've got. If my son comes in today or tomorrow, I'll send him with it. If not, then I guess I can offload it in her driveway and she can get a neighbor to come hang it for her. Eh. We'll see.

It's a beautiful day, think I'll get dressed and go outside for awhile.

I am glad you are taking it a bit easy, you need to let your body heal, it has gone through a lot and your heart too - praying for complete recovery of health and strength. Soak up the healing rays of the sun today.

I slept late. I went to my sister's in Conroe yesterday and got to visit with her and her 2 half sisters. I call them my sisters too, LOL. Little family background..... My Mom was married and divorced, had 2 kids. My Daddy married her, adopted her 2 kids and several years later had me. My sister and brother, unknown to them, had 2 older sisters (now deceased) a brother only 4 months older than my sister and 3 younger siblings. Their father got around. They had their first family reunion in my house in Livingston in 1996. One sister, Lauren, lives in the Woodville area, not too far from me. Their brother lives in San Antonio. The other sister, Leslie, lives in the Rio Grande Valley and always comes to my sister Kathy's on long weekends. So basically, they are my sisters too, although there is no blood tie.

My son met me there and we surprised Kathy for her birthday, with a 5' cedar porch swing. Son hung it up and Kathy was totally surprised and delighted. Then we visited and had a great time. Kathy's daughter and son in law are taking her, Leslie and Lauren out to dinner today, so she is having a very nice birthday.

Son is moving his RV trailer today to Baytown and will start a 3 week shut down job tomorrow in the Kemah area.

Glad you felt up to going to your sister's after all; and that it turned out to be a nice visit and surprise for her.

Is there any work on the horizon after this job for your DS?
Since your DD is talking about the cost of groceries and worried that YOU need to find another farm, I am assuming she is doing some checking on sites, like she found the buyers for the other place????
Real estate has slowed down here alot.... people cannot afford to build anything with the cost of lumber so undeveloped land is not selling much. And the worries about the economy and the increased costs of living are making it harder for people to continue to save anything for down payments either...

Real estate has not slowed down here. DD had to replace decking on their little guest house. 3/4” plywood is $70 per sheet. Some time or another, this madness has to stop.
