Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

[ragdollcatlady]

Regarding age, 33 would be just fine if we have compatible temperaments. Older (even by a fair amount) is fine too, same criteria. I think that age matters much more when you are younger. The differences can be so much more striking between younger folks. With my own age and temperament, I think I could easily handle a wide range of lifestyles right now... except big cities don't interest me cause I grew up there and traveling alot, being one I wouldn't necessarily want cause I love my farm and my job is full time.

I am a package deal though.... I have a ton of kids (goat kids) that are part of the deal!!!

Hey so, about my weekend with grandma.... Can't have a nice easy time with me no matter what!... Friday, left work early, I dropped off the goat, picked up the puppies, got to grandmas safe and sound. All good so far. We left around 6 AM, heading to the wedding. I drove and we got 2 hours down, got a flat tire on the freeway, only about 10 minutes after I had casually mentioned that the younger drivers inour family are fine maturing more and getting around to driving a few years later as they needed to be able to handle things like blowing a tire on the road.... I got the jack set up, but couldn't get the lug nuts loose... Grandma was on the phone with her insurance calling for assistance when a good samaritan stopped, helped get the spare on and guided us to the nearest Costco to get new tires. The tires were OK, we had run over a nail or something, but since she was going to get new tires soon, we opted for 4 new tires. We weren't 10 minutes down the road again, when a different tire went flat. Thankfully, both times, I was able to control the vehicle OK, no accidents, everyone is fine. We called the insurance and had it towed back to the same place to get it fixed. They apologized profusely, double checked that everything was good, thanked us for being so nice about it all (I get my nice from my grandma in case you are all wondering!!!) and we were on our way again. We are around noon by now, wedding was supposed to be around 9 so we missed it by hours. We went by the brides moms and dropped a card off and then headed home. Oh yeah, we had the puppies along for the adventures, thank goodness! They need to eat and poop about 50 times while we were "out and about". We got back to grandmas around 5 in the evening!Oh yeah, and I hadn't had a drop of coffee until after the second tire repair!!!

My life is never boring... even when I try! I thought I was going to drive grandma to the wedding, find some coffee and play with the puppies for an hour, then drive grandma back home....

Knowing that my life is ALWAYS this crazy, is anyone still interested a date with me??? LOL!

Sure glad it all went okay, but it is unfortunate that the intended goal was not realized....at least grandma has good tires on the car now....1 less thing to worry about....I hate dealing with flat tires...even tho I can change them quick...I still hate it....and they always do it at the most inconvient times too.

You can select "edit" at the bottom of the post and remove the goat pic (and then remove the follow on post) if you wish. Alternatively, I can do it for you if you want me to. Just let me know. Glad that you got to spend quality time with Grandma as opposed to all that traveling for an hour of playtime with puppies. You can play with the puppies any time really. Sorry about the flat's though. You also learned a valuable lesson... You CAN survive for extended periods, even under stress, sans coffee Of course puppies are equally good for relieving stress, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I'm old enough to be your dad, but were I closer, I'd gladly take you out on a "date". Maybe just a dinner get together and chance for you to get out of the house Or, you could cook me dinner and I could help you with farm chores

sounds like you had a 'fun' day with grandma. the silver lining is that you got there and back without anyone getting hurt, your DS got his puppy and you got to spent time with your grandma. life is never dull, just keep your sense of humor.

Of course someone would! With your @CntryBoy777 like ability to smile through adversity, who wouldn't want to be with that kind of person??

@Latestarter, I would take a date with a friend over a date with a stranger anytime!

Plan carefully and you can pick up your female LGD pup from @babsbag on the same trip to No. Cal @Latestarter

Might just (offer to) take BOTH of the ladies out to lunch/dinner when I go to pick up my pup. Would be worth it to meet some other great BYH members. Previous Babs pup possibilities had me meeting Babs in northern Nevada (Reno) to pick up a pup as it would probably not be in my best interest to be in CA and it would save an extra day of driving for me. Long story...

Of course you wouldn't be able to afford gas to get back home once you went broke in Reno

Could be a heck of a drive over the Sierras to pick up that pup in the winter!!
