Good Morning!


"Grass! Thank you very much!" Posted by Picasa

The boys snapped this photo of our donkey last week. What a hoot!

Did you see that my daughter left a comment yesterday? Now that certainly made me smile! I like living in the age of cell phones and computers. When my sons traveled they did not call me once the whole time. This time I told my daughter to call once in a while--we all know these phone calls are for mom rather than for daughter. That's O.K. Since I cannot walk up to her and ask for a hug (don't all mommies need hugs?), this is as close as I can get.

Have a GREAT day, Bethany.

Other good news is that even though the eye of the hurricane swept over my sister's home, they are doing fine. I'm sure they will spend months working on the clean up, though. We are thankful that the hurricane's wind speeds dropped just before coming on shore. That was an answer to a lot of people's prayers.

It is Monday and I have so many projects lined up for this week. I hope I get a few of them done. Bethany is going to miss some of the spring cleaning (yes, I know it is not spring anymore, but the cleaning still needs to be done), but I have two strong sons to help me.

What are your plans for the week?

I showed some of my friends here the pictures of Penelope and they liked her. I do not miss missing the spring cleaning.

I have a busy week. Tomorrow is Garrett's birthday. We have a soccer tournament on friday and saturday, a dinner event related to hubby's job, and a wedding on saturday evening. This, while trying to keep a house ready for showing in case our other house offer doesn't go through.

*sigh* I'd love to sit with you on your porch today.

Oh, Beth! Surely you are sad at missing the cleaning!?!

Hey, Kim--The porch swing is open to you any time. Perhaps we should meet in cyberspace for a few minutes sometime?

Hi Jean,

I love all the pictures of Penelope. Reading your blog makes me think for a few minutes that *I* could be a farmer, but then reality sets in! LOL I do enjoy living vicariously through you, though. Hope you don't mind!

Bethany will have lots of fun this week. DC is a great city to visit, and she has a lot of fantastic things on her agenda.

Jill, It is my guess that a large percent of the folks who drop by come to enjoy the farm :-). This is a beautiful place to live and I enjoy sharing it.

Jean,
Your Penelope pictures are the best!
My husband enjoys them, too. He had a donkey when he was a boy. He and his brothers still tell wonderful stories about Jacob the donkey.
