I'm in Washington right now visiting my Grandkids, but I just got a message from Lisa at home about my baby goats Sissy and Terry Towel. Sasha, the mama dog, who is taking care of them in the baby barn, had mastitis and wasn't nursing her pups for a while. But now that is all cleared up she is letting the kids nurse right along side with the pups.
What an amazing dog she is. Those baby goats have been in the baby barn with her pups since they were three days old, and she has been watching over them since the beginning. I guess it must just be a natural extension of her mothering instincts.

Well, I am really at a mediation and that has been extended so I'm also having to work hard. So it's fun and it's also hard work. But the snow was kind of a pain. I arrived in Washington to record snowfall. This was followed by freezing rain, followed by snowmelt which turned into flooding. Now the snow is all melting off and it's rain again and lots of flooding is going on.
But I got to stay in the house with the Grandkids and play and cook and make them clean house (of course). I did teach my daughter how to drive in the snow. I also got to fix the car for my daughter, fix some of the furniture that the grandkids broke while being naughty and help the kids learn how to do a lot of other little household tasks. I also taught my 13 year old grandson how to shovel snow. We went out while it was really snowy and the kids had a great time sledding down the hill. I took lots of pictures.
My little grandson turned 7 and we had a birthday for him, which was lots of fun. I wanted to bake a birthday cake with the kids but his mom already had one ordered. He really, really wanted home made lasagna, and we made that. (Home made sauce and everything.) I just wish I had some of my home made cheese. I have never seen a tiny little boy eat so MUCH lasagna before. Where he put it, I have NO idea. (And he is very tiny.)

Well, the "wonderful people" that I am staying with in Oklahoma have told me to leave because I am going to be late getting back from Washington. Somehow they think I'm making tons of money and taking advantage of their generosity and kindness and are mad at me for "making fools of them".
I don't know how I manage to meet up with people who are so odd but they don't have a clue how little money I get from helping people with school stuff. Of course, they never even bothered to ask nor do I think they even care. They don't even know what my income is. Or that my work is mostly volunteer.
The people I came up to Washington to help paid my ticket up here and my expenses and that's about it. It doesn't hurt that I got to see my grandchildren. And it was kind of cool that I got to see someone that I love.
But now I have to move from the place I live in in Oklahoma and my goats have to go with me. So, anybody know where I can camp in Oklahoma? And where I can get a tent?

Mum, I have some friends in the Sedan area. Send me a pm, and tell me where you are located. I'll see if they have a place to put you and your goats.

Thank you so much. Well, I just got another e-mail from the people I live with.
Here is their list of complaints about my behavior.
Apparently I eat too much and that is another reason I have to move. Wow! Who knew. I've lost 15 pounds since I've been there and gone from a size 18 to a size 16, but that must mean that I am a totally glutton.
I left the stove on one time, so that is further evidence that I am irresponsible and unruly.
I leave the folding doors open to the laundry room too often.
I leave the light on in the bathroom to go into my room to get things instead of turning it on and off each time I go in and out. (I guess if I am just going in to get something and going right back in to the bathroom I should turn it on and off each time.)
I don't work hard enough. - I've only cleaned the milking parlor, cleaned the garage, cleaned the soap making building, painted the interior of the same building, helped re-roof it, built a hay feeder, done all the vacuuming in the house, done the dusting in the house, fed and milked the two milk goats that need milking, and offered (but been turned down) to clean barns and feed other goats, helped with shots and other chores.
I am ungrateful. It doesn't matter how often I say thankyou for their kindness, I guess it is NOT enough!
These people are angry at me. I don't really understand why. But, I think it has nothing to do with me. I think it has to do with their own sadness at what is going on in their own lives and their own internal issues. And I am the scapegoat. But they can not see how their own issues get in the way of accepting different people in to their lives.
But really they have been kind to me. Just like the last people were kind to me. But they had serious issues as well.
It is very difficult being dependent on other people for your survival, because you have to live with their idiosyncracies. And they often blame you for their own unhappiness. They make you the focus of their misery because it is a LOT harder to face their own issues and take responsibility for it than it is to blame someone else for it.
