Okay, the first goal is reached – we surpassed $40, reaching $50 in pledges – yay!! I’m off to run a brush and stuff through my hair to share a photo of my new haircut. Exciting stuff, I know. !http://starzabove.com/smilies/nut.gif! I’ll be right back.
Getting the sad news out of the way
Yesterday was a bit of a sad day around here. And I say get the sad news _’out of the way’_ simply because there are times to dwell on sadness and times to brush it aside to focus on the good things. Even out of death we can focus on good things – like memories,…
Cucumber Sandwiches, Great Friends and Rain
Yes, it’s raining AGAIN! But I’m okay, because my _Angel_ brought me a cucumber sandwich (fresh cucumbers from our garden), and I have great friends! I’m working on my first honoring post, complete with text and photos ( Thanks “Debbie!”:http://sternski.com/debbie ), meanwhile what is your favorite or most unusual kind of sandwich that you enjoy?
Some fellow blogathoners
Yeah, great new word – blogathoners. But I’m SURE that I’m not the first to use it – it may very well have been created in the wee hours towards the end of a prior Blogathon. I’d like to introduce a couple of fellow blogathoners. First is “Pamela”:http://pamelaperez.wordpress.com/ – she is also a fellow blogathoner-for-the-american-cancer-society.…
I have a new hair cut
Since I’m still not completely awake I’ll just settle for being random. I’ll post a photo of my new hair cut when my pledges reach $44. Why 44? Because I can’t remember how old my Grandpa Howard (my Dad’s dad) was when cancer took his life, because I was so little (4yo) but I know…
Not an ordinary Saturday
In planning my day today, this will not be an ordinary Saturday. For any newcomers here that don’t know, we are new homesteaders here. If you like to see photos of horses, sheep, ducks, etc. you can browse my archives. Late last fall we purchased acreage and were out here every weekend building the beginnings…

Get to work and take some time off
Last week was on the hectic side – though I managed. Work hours shot up dramatically – to the tune of almost 50 hours. This week it’s done the opposite and dropped off in a crazy way. I’m not sure what to do with myself! I guess I’ll manage. We’ve had rain again. And by…
Riding horses and shorn sheep – Finally!
Yes, it’s been busy here, as usual. I’m working more hours, on the computer, and more hours in the garden. We are finally riding the horses – Cheyenne and Cody, anyway. We waited until Cheyenne had her hooves trimmed last month. They are both doing well, though they are a bit rusty. We have to…
