Good Evening,
So good to hear from both of you.
Charlotte, that is an amazing story about "Red". How very kind of you to give him up to the little boy. How wonderful that they found him and are taking good care of him. I had to give up my Cheasapeak Bay Retriever this winter, because she was killing the cats on the farm and DH was fit to be tied. She was a gentle good dog, except she sure didn't like cats. I had her for at least six years, but she had to go back to the humane shelter from whence she came.
She was an outside dog, she liked winter better than summer. Summer always made her melt. Sorry about your feet, nothing worse than when you can't get around well. Good thing flip-flops are the in thing right now. I think the kids even wear them to school in the winter, if they can get away with it. My feet get too cold to wear them, but everywhere I go ladies and men are wearing flip-flops.
They would really miss you at the TV station Charlotte, where are you talking about moving to? Change is hard at our age, well I should say at my age. I keep hoping and praying things will work out for you and DH.
On Survivor, there were two men left Terry from one tribe and Aras and Danielle from another tribe, but different than Terry's tribe. Terry was winning all of the immunity challenges, therefore he could advance without being voted off. During the last challange, based on balance, Danielle won the immunity and she got to take one of the men with her to the tribal counsel. She chose Aras, who was well liked and he was was voted to win the million dollars. Danielle made too many enemies along the way and she lost out on the million. The show is petty and sometimes mean, and I am just amazed that people can act the way they do, and it keeps bringing me back each week.
How nice you got to visit your son and grandaughter again. Charlotte is right, time for more pictures. That is so wonderful that she could play ball with you for as long as she did. I bet it just broke your heart to leave. We all have to have our "Grandma fix" don't we? My first refrigerator had the freezer on the bottom, which is so nice. The freezer on the top is insane. I have had side-by-sides since that first refrigerator. If I didn't have that I would have one like yours for sure.
I was working on the family reunion flyer for DH's family picnic this summer. I finally firgured out how to incorporate photos into the word document. I was becoming frustrated at first, but I persevered and finally put together a flyer with old pictures of DH's parents, brothers and sister and the grands and greatgrands. I hope everyone has fun with it when they get it in the mail.
The rain finally stopped, and we have had some very cold temps. The winter wheat has mildew growing on it, our crop consultant tried to hire a helicopter or airplane to spray all the fields of his clients that have the mildew problems, but it was way too expense to be feasable. We are going to have to depend on a lot of sunshine to kill the mildew, Lots of luck with that lately.
I selfishly took a nap this afternnon, but am now starting to feel tired, so I guess I will wander off to bed. Last Monday, I was too sick to go into work, so took a day off, my stiff neck lasted about three days. What a joy
Have a good week Sheila and Charlotte. Talk to you soon.
Love....Bluet
