2010-Feb.20 Saturday Shopping

Wow! when we started out this morning, we were going to eat breakfast at Las Palmas and then we were going to go to Hallettsville. Well, we kinda took a detour.

First, we didn't even get to breakfast when we saw a guy on the side of the road selling fruit trees. He had an "orange/pineapple" fruit tree that we were intrigued with. It is an orange that will taste like a pineapple. We'll see!! So we loaded that in the truck. This makes #5 fruit tree - for my fruit orchard. Well, it's a start anyway.

Second, we ate at Las Palmas of course. They were so busy and it was so good.

Third, driving by "The Homestead", we decided to take a quick peek! Instead, we shopped, but not naked-hehe!! We bought this cabinet there to put in our bathroom for some much needed storage. Johnny had to "tweek" it a little.


Fourth, we went to Academy-Joseph needed baseball cleats for practice that's starting on Monday. And I "needed" black shoes. I have really fallen for Academy's shoes. And of course, I needed a shirt to wear to a party for next weekend. Oh, and we needed corn for the deer - so load up delivery guy, but don't scratch my cabinet.

We didn't make it to Hallettsville though. I had a small nap before we went to LuRaq's Restaurant in the evening. Wade Stockton and the Llamas Pinatas were playing. Mary & Marshall were there and we met Alta (Johnny's Mother) there too. We had a great time. Thanks for the great music to Wade and his other great band members.



Had a great time. We'll be there next time....

My Great-Nephew-Lincoln turned 2 today. We hope he has a very happy birthday. I got him a little something, but I am slow to get it to the P.O. to mail it off. Shame on me.

We hope you have a great day.

Lisa sent a picture of Lincoln using his broom. We sent him a set of 3 tools - a shovel, a rake, and a broom. He is using the broom and "talking" on his phone. Too Cute!

I also made a horse ornament for him and sent that too!

Monday

2010-Feb.15 Joseph's Routine with the Chickens


checking the feed . . . . . . . this one has the broken leg

This one lets me pet him . . . . . .& this one too / . . . . this one is getting BIG
When Joseph gets home from school his routine is: Feed chickens, Feed pony, Eat, do homework, read. Well, I am sure it goes more like this - eat, feed chickens/pony, eat, homework, eat, read.
Today, I picked him up from school, since I was home - Holiday - President's Day. So I took more pics of him. Pa has told him "Don't pet or play with the chickens. They are not pets." Hmmm, I don't think Joseph "heard" him. I caught him petting the chickens. "This one has a broken leg - so he tried to help him get to the feed / and this one is the mean one / and this one will let me pet him." Then we went inside and he made me some popcorn. "Yum, Yum. Thanks Joseph, that was just right."

2010-Feb.13 Grands here for the day





I just had to post some of these pics of Parker. He is such a doll. And is always in a good mood. Hope he will stay that way always. (At least at Nana & Pa's house-hehe!) But he was grinning and talking to me and helped me take my mind off of my horrific migraine that I had. Johnny did alot with the boys - Thanks so much! I don't think I could have done this without him today.

2010-Feb.12 CHICKENS still


Joseph has an eye on a couple of chickens already that he wants to take to the stock show


See. . they are getting big! right!?

CHICKENS . . . .
Still getting bigger by the day. It's getting close - the stock show - I mean. Soon the chickens will be gone and I will have a building to get all the "YUK" off of my porches. And my house will be my castle again.
