Yes, we are HOME!

Yes, we are HOME!

Good Morning All;

   I have to thank those of you that have emailed me;  inquiring to Caseys health- (and my sanity)!    :)

   We did get home on Thursday afternoon; stopping at my sisters in Appleton to visit with my niece  for a few little moments- To see their own little dog (who is doing very very well), and even got to see Michael (and his new moped), before he headed out to work.  My sister Mary was also working- and I am sorry we missed seeing her.   The above picture is of Casey with their pup!  (I believe his new name is "Buddy"-  though I still call him 'Oscar')...  They sure love him to death!

   The results from CaseyAnne's sweat test were to be available Thursday afternoon...

   But, surprise, they were not.

   And so she called the lab at Childrens Hospital yesterday morning- (this is where they did her test).   She was told to call the GI Center at Froedtert and speak to that doctor.  Getting a hold of his office, she was then told to call her regular doctor here.    Calling him, he had no results.

   Is this crazy????         ...(Or IS it me) ?

   And so we are home; no wiser than we left-   Casey has bad dreams about all that is going on with her- but if this is some kind of cancer, they would have found out that much with all the bloodwork etc that she has had done over the past month...  So we will wait once more- over the weekend- and maybe on Monday we will know what is happening.

   Casey went to the arena football game last night- I have no idea when they got home, but she left me a note saying that it was SO MUCH FUN!    Like any true "Green-Bay-ite",  she LOVES football;  so any chance like this is a whole lot of fun for her.   She took her painkillers right before her ride came- And made no reference to pain in her note, so I hope she was relatively pain free during those few  'fun' hours.   Sure has tons of pain...

   We came home to a yard full of tall grass... I spent Thursday evening cutting- and most of yesterday too. The homestead doesn't look quite so abandoned now.  And both weedwackers were started too- Although they have to be started a few more times to get everything LQQKing good!  (As long as we get it all done before it rains again)-  I went over a few patches twice to better shred some of the cuttings- Fewer lumps- (hmmm, sounds like oatmeal)!

   We also came home to three puppies who had grown so much in our absence...  We are trying to leash train them a bit- Not being used to the collars, (let alone the restrictive qualities of a leash), they tire themselves out quickly-  And are happy then to return to their kennel.  They wake up in the morning, and just want to show how excited they are when we go out there;  they try to chew on us both!  After they are well exercised, they are just little loving lumps of fur.   

   Miss Milly is much better-  (As she had shown Kelli the other night by running back to the woods)!  She has no more milk; but the 'kids' try to nurse anyway-   She will not allow them to do this in the kennel, so it is a treat for them to get out when they do.

   One of the little ones we now call "Pittsburgh" as she will be traveling cross country to her new home.  Pleased with their own new addition, one of our adoptive couples will be bringing her to their daughter who lives out there.   Nice that. And brings a peace of mind to us here too. I am so happy with them all.

   I'd better close, and get on with my day here- Too much to do- and they are calling for a bit of rain this afternoon too.  My dryer is calling me right now- (and about to drive me crazy if it beeps one more time)!

   Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Please write when you can.

   Anne
