In the kitchen – burnt sausage – ugh! Found while channel surfing – _I wanna be a soap star_ – ummmmmmkay. Biting my hair – Charlie Brown the cat, who is obviously looking for some love and attention. My favorite place in the world – I have a hard time picking a _one and only_…

Life in Late July 2006
Yesterday Angel had a horrible headache most of the day. The other girls went home with Mom/Gramma, so it was pretty quiet and she finally slept awhile. The headache was still there when she woke up, so we tried my sinus meds. The headache disappeared, so it looks like it was a sinus headache. Bummer.…

Farm Updates for late July 2006
This past Wednesday we put the lambs in with rams and ewes. They were in a smaller pasture than the other animals, and had eaten down every bit of green grass from within their fence and one foot out side of it. Now, the ram lambs, the lambs, and Sam the sheep dog (Great Pyrenees)…
Blogathon 2006 Begins
Good morning! I’m going to start out with some updates that probably make too much sense and then by tomorrow morning about this time I’ll be far from making sense. I’d like to take this time to thank my sponsors – other kindred spirits that are joining in with us to help give cancer the…
Tour de Fleece, what was I thinking?
I’m a new spinner. Everything I have spun so far added up is probably not a full pound. So, what was I thinking attempting to spin 2 pounds!?!? I need to learn to set more realistic goals. A couple of days ago, I personally revised my goal to a pound. If I hadn’t done a…
Finally, a Baby Shower!
I have so many baby things I’d like to knit and I’m kind of bummed that there aren’t any local babies in my life. Well, I finally got an invitation to a baby shower! We have this little boy that we’ve sort of adopted into our family for the past several years (in fact, he’s…
