Some Birthdays Are Different!

 Some Birthdays Are Different!

 

Today is Reece’s birthday. He is 24 now. On the way to work this morning, some idiot decided to outrun the yield sign and hit his car on the driver’s side. The EMTs said they did not think it was a concussion, but he has a mighty nice headache. His car was towed ONE freaking block to H&O where the insurance company will have their wrecker pick it up. IF it can be repaired, he can drive it a little longer. If they total it, he will have to have another vehicle. It just makes me so glad that the police officers told him to have it towed rather than take a chance on it falling apart out there on that big road! And the best part—he just has a really bad headache instead of terrible injuries!

 

This is some way to return from a trip, but Jennifer’s sleep cycle is totally messed up anyway. It is afternoon in Scotland. Think Gary is still in bed—or was. Funny how traveling affects folks and their sense of time.

 

Have one of my favorite hens trying to be broody. Have to go put feed and water in a cage for her so she can be separated from the other hens. She was sitting on one egg, but don’t really think it was hers since she spent the night on that nest. Silly Thelma! She is my one naked neck Turken hen. The rest of them were roosters! May have to meet one of the kids in Bowie to get eggs to them. Will call Landon and see if he can come get eggs this week. Right now, he is in his car looking for a parking place! Never know where the kids will be when their phones connect!

 

Patty has decided that her dogs have a “godmother” in me. Rudy just stepped out of his carrier when we got home and thrilled her to pieces. The last time the carrier was opened at her house, he did not even lift his head. Had we not decided to take him back and leave him overnight, he would not have made it. Anyway, will go back down there around 6:30 to give him his insulin and see if Patty thinks she can do it in the morning after he eats his food. Then she will take over giving him his shots on Sunday. Monday morning, he has to go back to have his blood sugar checked while fasting. Such fun. Oh well. These critters are like children to most of us. FAMILY for sure!

 

Landon said he does not have anything planned for this week, so he will probably come pick up eggs. He said a quiche sounds good. It really does!

 

This old woman is tired tonight for some reason. Got up pretty early—before the hens were up—and opened the coops. Coffee kept me going most of this day, but feel like someone needs to talk to the cook around here about making something that can be eaten for more than one meal.

 

Let us be grateful for the peace we have, for our families, for good folks who care about us. Remember those whose children are ill, and remember that our health is always a matter for God’s concern. He cares about His children.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
