That is great news, we are glad to hear it. Changes to a diet like that do require a bit of planning and substitution but so much better than the alternative(s).

Few years agow we had the dead man's lever on the electric lawnmower go south, took it apart and then used it the rest of the summer by unplugging it to shut the motor down. Glad the yard isn't a big one.

[2Jedismom]

Doh!!

Well, that's good news about your mom, anyways...

[2Jedismom]

Steve mowed our entire back yard today...something he hasn't done a lot of lately! LOL No time.

[2Jedismom]

Rosabelle laid her first egg today! Steve noticed her in the box for a long time...just hanging out in the box. Then, while eating lunch, we noticed she had come out of the box and Joshua ran out and sure 'nough! The prettiest pale blue-green egg you ever saw.

I got a pic...just a sec.

[Corin Stormhands]

Evenin' folks. Corin was here today...

Just back from the reunion. Glad to hear Sam and Ruthy are okay. I just checked again, ksen has MY number, I don't have his...something's wrong with that...

Lessee...

Nana is in the rehab facility. Therapist has been getting her up, so that's progress. Two indepdendent sources today (one a woman at church who has had a hip replacement, and two wife's cousin who is like a medical research engineer/scientist type) said that this happened because the replacement hip was the wrong size...which means that it will continue to happen until we get the right size. We'll have to ask Mr. Doctor about that.

Luke is spending the week in NC with wife's older sister.

We're trying to race and get stuff done around the house to be ready for the school year...we'll never be ready...

Tomorrow the pool closes for the season...woo hoo!

And...Corin did NOT do South Beach this weekend...

Gotta go. See y'all tomorrow.

[2Jedismom]

Here is the picture of the egg...you can't really tell it's bluish in color but it is. I'll try to get a "comparison" shot tomorrow.

And here is a picture of Joshua and Steve sitting in the chicken run. Steve is petting Benny Hen.

Evening Corin!

Glad you're back safe from your adventures, Corin.

Ok, when ksen comes back we need to get this stuff organized... I think you and Hair need to have everybody's numbers, you're responsible people and this worry isn't good for hobbity-types.

Fess up, who else is currently withholding vital information?

[2Jedismom]

How beautiful! Just like I imagine my little bit of land will be like!

[SuziQ]

True, but with enough ingenuity, and the blessing of their customers, something could be done to remove the high poles and dangling wires!

[Corin Stormhands]

I think you and Hair need to have everybody's numbers, you're responsible people and this worry isn't good for hobbity-types.

ohfercryinoutloud, ain't I responsible for enough people already???

[2Jedismom]

Does life ever seem a bit surreal to you?

[Corin Stormhands]

That's the valley were Nana and Papa grew up. It's just across the street from Papa's home place.

And there's 39 acres for sale. We'd love to, but just don't have the bucks. Wife's sister asked if we'd like to buy it with them.

I said, "Sure, if y'all can make the payments for the first 20 years..."

[SuziQ]

Good to hear your Mom is home and that it was nothing too serious!

[Corin Stormhands]

After Isabel, Dominion Power got a LOT of criticism over not spending the bucks they had to bury wires. They raised rates and opted to not do the work.

[JenB]

That's the problem with responsibility... it never gets less, only more.

[Corin Stormhands]

Good news about your mom. Home is good.

[2Jedismom]

The good thing about Oklahoma is there is pretty land...and it's really pretty reasonable (though out of our reach now...heck, a new microwave is out of our reach NOW.)

Someday, there is a real possibility...

[SuziQ]

Corin, out standing in his field!

Glad to hear you got some idea of what the problem is with Nana's hip. I hope the Doc gets that straightened out for her; I know she'll be happier, and so will you!
