At just a little after 7am, we already have tears flowing... well, Nathan does. I guess it will take us a bit of adjustment to settle into our new routine. It doesnt help that he got up when Courtney got up... at 5am!! At least he did his morning "list"... which is getting dressed, making his bed, and eating breakfast! So, I will be thankful for baby steps at this point!
Things have been hectic around here lately... which is why I havent blogged. I just havent had the time.
Over the weekend I pulled off a boat load of hot peppers and sweet peppers... I will have to do something with them today. I also got another nice bunch of green beans!!
My fall cucumber plants have sprouted... still waiting to see what happens with our beets and carrots...and lettuces.
GOURDS.... I forgot to share our gourd bounty!! WOW... to we have a lot!!! And to think... they are all "volunteer" plants that grew out of my compost pile!! It wasnt easy getting the all out of there... since they are growing on the steep side of our sand mound... and into the duck pen!
We had a really nice Holiday weekend. Saturday Brittany, Stacy and I took Gunner hiking... and to find some GeoCaches! It was hot as hell... and my back was bothering. But, it was still nice to get out and about. Fall will soon be here... and then we will be doing a lot more hiking... I LOVE the cooler weather and lack of bugs!!!
Sunday we packed up and headed to Carlisle. We took a nice little cookout to my Dad and Linda. I am soooo glad I thought of that!!! The facility has a grill and a nice covered porch. So it was easy to make happen. The kids talked and talked... Dad and Linda listened and listened! LOL! It was really fun. It is also great to see so much progress with Linda! She is so excited about going HOME tomorrow too!!
I am looking forward to keeping up with our weekly visits!
Yesterday was my errand day... TSC, grocery shopping... no library, since it was a holiday and they were closed. I guess I will have to fit that in some other time this week.
Today is the start of Brittany's "Intermediate" level gymnastics classes!! She is pretty excited. I am just hoping to get that far into the day... lol
Yesterday marked 8 days that Kanga has been with us. She had a 'rough' weekend. With my back being out of whack... she sure took advantage of that. I wanted to tie her ears in a damn knot... but obviously, did not.
I feel like we took BIG steps backwards over the past 3 days... and it does not have me happy! I am hoping to see improvement and progress again over the week.
I will say that she is growing in leaps and bounds in becoming more 'dog like'... she has been learning A LOT from HoBo and Sprocket... even Amaruq has shown her patience!
I guess that is all I have for today. Tomorrow I will have another recipe to share!!
I am sending prayers and positive vibes to my Dad today... as he works out all of the final details of getting Linda home.
I am also praying that after the "time out" I sent Nathan to... he will come back a bit more calm and able to get on with our day!
I have "We Made it Through the First Day of School Tattoos" planned... if we make it to this afternoon... LOL!
Stay dry and have a great day!!
