Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Oshi has been a real experience, hasn’t he? Really makes you like calm rams even more. His son Rocky, is calming down and loves his animal crackers. Little Ringo is a stinker and loves to challenge me. He likes animal crackers too but acts like a jerk.
And Cooper? Just pet him, love him, brush him……sweet boy.

 

[Mike CHS]

Oshi is actually pretty calm now but he has developed a bad habit as far as Maisy is concerned. He loves having me scratch his neck but when I quit, he circles around and moves toward me fairly quick. Maisy thinks (and she might be right) that he is going to ram me and she will go after him to keep him away from me.

Maisy is looking out for you. I guess she figures she’s gotta protect that dummy that’s messing with a ram twice her favorite dummy’s size.

My favorite Aunt passed last night and she was the last of my Mother's siblings. Aunt Tiny (that wasn't her name but that was how she was known) was 96 years old and a mainstay in keeping our family together.

So sorry, Mike... you know at that age, it has to be in the natural order of things... but it makes it hard to face that we are all getting older... and our "older generation" is leaving us... and then it makes our place in the family history jump up at us... I am now the oldest in our family except my father's brother... and his health is not good at all...... but I am the oldest of the generation of the "kids" ... kinda makes you sit back and say.... can't be.... but it is.

I’m sorry about your Aunt Tiny. 96 is a good life. What you said is so true about keeping the family together. It seems when the old ones pass away, the family scatters. Family get togethers get smaller, if at all.

 

[SageHill]

So sorry. Losses of good people are tough at any age.

When we are sitting and watching TV, I try to do some of the stretches that I can do while sitting. I was doing some raises with my right arm and evidently took it a bit too far. I told Teresa that if it didn't hurt so bad, it would be pretty Cool having a body part telling you to quit doing something.

So sorry about your aunt. Even though she was 96, it is sad to lose someone. My grandfather told me after the death of his boyhood frient that "It is hard to see your friends dying around you". I understand what he meant now.

My Grandmother had 11 kids and they all lived to ripe old age except for one. My Grandfather farmed almost 1000 acres for most of his later years and I know that his kids wished that they were as spoiled as he did for me. When I was growing up, we had family get togethers all of the time but like was mentioned above, that seems to be something that is going away because that generation is going away. This Aunt was the one that spoiled all of us and did so until she was a Senior Citizen and beyond.
