[My] Life in Wisconsin

¿¿¿Como se dice ~"Doo~Doo"~???

hehehe
.

Good Morning Everyone!
(Oops, "afternoon" now).

Words to the wise here: Do NOT be eating while you are reading;
especially if you have a sensitive stomach...

In answer to the above title; I have only been in one of my little comas.
As I was finishing putting the last load of wash in the dryer Monday night, I started seeing those dots and flashing lights.
I took a Maxalt, and waited for the lights to go away. (Having also had to put the TV on pause so I could watch the Packer Game) .
Thank the powers that be for my DISH System, and the ability to pause live TV...
I never caught up with the game until past the halftime.
Maxalt screws up my "innards"... And the headache takes care of everything else. (Suffice to say that I spent a great deal of time within the confines of the powder room).
.

.
And Monday had been SO nice...
Casey came out, and we all went to the woods, and down to the river too. (I have not been down there but once, since I hurt my back).

Even Miss Milly stuck around to us; in part because Casey was here, Mr. Miller was here, and of course Master Gabriel too.

Sputnik was not one bit interested in going along.
.
.
Cnv1002 by you.

Apparently too busy to be bothered...
.
.
Cnv1004 by you.

Casey and Gabriel on the way to the woods.
.
.
As we walked back, all three dogs had found something very very nasty to roll in. Milly got the first serving, having bolted to the woods in her own style.
Punk was second, and with all of our yelling, only got a little on her neck/collar.
I removed her collar (posthaste and very carefully); and wound up carrying it home on a stick.
(Yes, her collar WAS bleach~washed that same night; right along with Mama Milly's)...

Mr. Miller tried to roll in it too, but he missed... (True). hehehe

Since this is what dogs do, we just kept going.
Thank God for the river!

Were you born, raised, or ever even worked at a farm?
Then you know there is a huge difference in the 'aroma' of the different animals.
There is also a difference in 'shape' of the doo~doo any animal leaves 'behind'.

We discovered what the dogs had rolled in was HUMAN.
And our insides just roiled over and over-

More of it in the woods too. I believe the little Mexicans have used the woods as their personal toilet.
DAMNED MAD ABOUT THAT. (There are not enough cuss words to even write how I feel about this).

Funny, but I haven't seen them here since Casey made that phone call to complain...

But anyway, like I said, thank God for the river!

Gabriel was not too sure about walking in water
on all the "slippy~rocks".

(So a little help goes a long way)...
.
.
Cnv1012 by you.

.
.
Punk was already soaking...
.
.
Cnv1010 by you.
.
.
Dirty Milly joined her too!
When we got her, Miss Milly would NOT go in the river... And she was petrified to even be near the water as I brought it to her kennel. Bath times have been known to be awfully anxiety~ridden for us all...
.
.
Cnv1014 by you.
.
.
Cnv1018 by you.
Gabriel splashed water at an already soaked Punk!
.
.
.
Cnv1019 by you.
We watched a crayfish fight too...
.
.
Not much fun having to get back up the cliff. But was very much a worthwhile little trip...
.
.
Cnv1033 by you.

.
.
Cnv1031 by you.
Casey gets pushed all the way home!
.
.
And it was bath time... For all three of these dogs
.
.
Cnv1034 by you.

Miss Milly went first.
(I knew she was white underneath all that gunk)!
.
.
Cnv1037 by you.

Then The Punkster...
.
.
The hose water was chilly, but they all loved their baths.
As for myself, I was wondering if there is a way to put my entire being in the washer too...
.
.
Cnv1039 by you.

While I washed the dogs, Master Gabriel was bound and determined
to teach Mr. Miller to golf!

.
.
One of the most Sacred Laws of Flintville reads;
All wet clothes MUST be removed prior to going in the house.

.
.
Cnv1040 by you.
exposing many many crinkly toes!
.
.
I shall have to finish this later- Have to bring Roberta to work now.


In the meantime, please let me know what words YOU might have used...

XOXO
Anne

Flying Time...



Gotta fly for now...
Packers game is on...

PS
There isn't enough $$$ in the world to want to be Aaron Rodgers right now...

A "Wunnaful" Weekend!

  magnify
Yes, that's me...
Wearing my back brace after a long weekend...
.
.
Good Monday Morning All;
I only wish I could wear that brace 24/7...
...It makes me look skinny!

Due to the fact that I work (and sweat), I don't wear it while I am outside. I won't be getting it icky.

I shall share our weekend with you....
.
But first a warning...
I might have posted this before, but make sure you double check your prescriptions. Your doctor doesn't always know these interactions are possible.
Do any of you have/get migraine headaches?
Here is a very good page to let you know what NOT to take along with your Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, etc. (Or vice~versa).
CLICK HERE.

.
.
At my house right now is a 2 year old who has more energy than 100 of me.
.
.
But every now and then he will pause to watch...

Absolutely in awe of the tractors
and the trailers
and the rigs
across the street
.
.
Cnv0970 by you.

.
Cnv0971 by you.
.
Did you notice the feathers in his hand?
.
.
Cnv0969 by you.
A somewhat fresh kill too.
Found in the ditch.
Randy buried it there too.
.
I think this may be the same bird I'd taken a picture of the day before.
.
.

Cnv0952 by you.
.
.
.
Of course there has to be time to play too...
.
.
Cnv0974 by you.
.
.
Who said it was high time for us to be busy too?

The weeds are slowly but surely disappearing around here, thanks to Randy. (He's got a good back)!

He also mowed the ditches with my old pushmower. I honestly thought I had thrown this one out- He found it in the old calf pen.
It needed no more than a few tweaks to get it going-

(And maybe a few cuss words too)...
.
.
.

Cnv0889 by you.
.
.

I'd bought a hose about a month ago to replace 'el~cheapo' that I had connected in the pumphouse.
The new one is to withstand 500psi.
Maybe the hose itself did, but the connector left much to be desired; and spewed water all over the water pit...
.
.
Cnv0983 by you.
Oh wait...
It may have spewed water all over Randy too.

hehehe
.
.
It was at this point that Master Gabriel used the last of his vanishing acts.
This does not make me happy... even if Punk is with him, and even if he is just around the corner...
I had asked him nicely 4 times to stay put where I could see him.
He didn't listen.

So the consequences did not make him happy either
.
.
Cnv0977 by you.
.
.
.
.
Miss Milly and Gabriel are on the same wavelength.

She disappeared too...
.
.
Cnv0992 by you.
Correct me if I am seeing things...
Do they have the same p.o.'ed expressions on their faces,
Or is it my imagination?

.
.

Gabriel toddles around on the tricycle;
absolutely refusing to put his feet on the pedals.

So he needed just a bit of coaching...

.
.
Cnv0980 by you.
.
.
And then it was easy to get it right!
.
.
Cnv0981 by you.
A very proud moment!
For us all!

.
Gabriel wasn't too big on sharing yesterday...
And surely not Grandpa Randy's attention...
.
.
Cnv0991 by you.
.
.
For some reason, I was kind of happy when the dust settled for the day.
Randy still had to get up to his dad's and visit his mom.
Time to go.
.
.
Cnv0994 by you.

A hug and a kiss
And a few words of love and wisdom too...

.
.
It gets chilly and dark, in a quick way now...
Time to go inside.
.
.
Cnv0951 by you.
.
.
And to get our jammies on...
.
.
Cnv0988 by you.
Sweet Jesus, he was still full of piss and vinegar
and ready for more!!!

.
Teeth.
Story time.
And prayers for everyone!
And it really didn't take him long to fall asleep.
.
Me neither.

Love to all-
I hope your weekend was also filled with a little love,
(and a whole lot of laughter).

XOXO
Me


PS
About the laughter?
I asked Randy to exchange that hose for me...
I told him I got it at K-Mart.
In reality, I'd gotten it at Wal-Mart...
hehehe
I later confessed when he called as he left K-Mart.
HAHAHA!!!

He's Ba~ack!

Taken last month...
...on his way to the woods!
.

Good Morning Everyone!
As I type, Master Gabriel has just woken up and is watching a few minutes of "Tom~and~Jerry"
hehehe
I still like that cartoon!

Long story short... Roberta has to work a zillion days this weekend, and coming week. I am blessed to have the little master here with me!
.
.
Cnv0953 by you.
Right before he fell asleep in the car....
.
.
Cnv0954 by you.
Nighty~Night!!!
.
.
He had to ride in the 3rd row seat- We brought Berta to her doctor appointment, and also had Casey (and The Punk) in the car.

We had to stop at Walgreens for a prescription for her-
This was across the street...
.
.
Cnv0956 by you.

.
.
IS IT ANY WONDER OUR CHILDREN CANNOT SPELL PROPERLY??
I sure would like to start a "MOOvement" to fine people
who post misspellings on outdoor signs.

.
.

Casey dropped me over at Kelli's to finish the mowing...
.
Punk was just way happy to be seated up front once more too!
.
.
Cnv0957 by you.
.
.
Tim had to deal with the paper wasp nest--- on their garage!
.
.
Cnv0958 by you.
Way too close for comfort!
.
.
While Kelli and Mr. Miller had a bit of fun too!
.
.
Cnv0959 by you.

.
.
By the time I got home, fed the boy his supper and got ready for bed, the sun had painted the eastern sky so pretty!

Sorry it didn't turn out, but the colors were magnificent as they reflected the setting sun...
.
.
Cnv0950 by you.
.
.
Casey is watching Big Sam today... Hope all goes well.
And of course her Greg is pitching in as well!
His dads wife is expecting twins, so it will be some very good practice, don't you think?!

I'd better close for now; as my little native is getting restless....
Having caught myself unawares yesterday, we have a bit of shopping to do today also. That will be fun!

Time to fly!

Love to all.
Have a 'wunnaful' weekend!
(This is not an outdoor sign)!
hehehe

XOXO

08~08~08... (8/7 was a GREAT Day)!

 
magnify
So, yesterday started out a bit ominous for me...
hehehe
You would see this as nasty too, wouldn't you?

The numbers above, from my Yahoo 360 Blog...
.
.
Good Morning Everyone!
From what I have heard though, the *8*8*8* combination should be a very good one...
Methinks we should all enjoy the heck out of it, (since we won't be around to see the next one)!

Yesterdays ONLY questionable part was the '666' from above.

Casey stopped in on her way to Pulaski; as she had to babysit for a little while. (The baby only one day younger than Big Sam)...

Speaking of Big Sam...

Marie called (after dropping Roberta off at work).
Would I be home for a few hours?
'But of course' !

There are many many times that words cannot describe a picture-
(Or simply even offer a bit of gratitude)-

Suffice to say that Marie is "earning her wings" in grand style...
.
.
Cnv0931 by you.
.
.
Then to turn the camera, as Master Gabriel and I fed Samuel!
.
.
Cnv0930 by you.
Not sure about Master Gabriel...
Big brother Lawrence would do the same thing with his mouth.
.
.
A bit of fun with my old cap...
.
.
Cnv0928 by you.


.
.
They had to leave to pick Berta up from her job. Then on to another doctor appointment for Sam.
(As of his last appointment, he was 6 pounds, 6 ounces)!

Getting big in a quick hurry!     (AttaBoy)!
.
.
After they left, it was time to take a little walk about the place.
.
.
Cnv0933 by you.
Fried Green Tomatoes anyone?
.
.
~And I was off with the dogs!
.
.
Cnv0932 by you.
.
.
.
.
Mr. Miller was the 2nd down the hill in the woods.
Milly the first,
but she'd disappeared LONG before we'd gotten there.
.
.
.
Miller really is here,
between the trees overlooking the ledge.

..
Cnv0938 by you.
.
.
Punk, (same place)-
Trying to decide should she go down,
...or keep her eyes on me?

.
.
Cnv0939 by you.
She did go down of course.
And accidentally fell in the river too!     
.
.
.
.
Kelli called my cellphone while we were still in the woods.
And home MUCH earlier than I'd expected too.
Where are you??
Oops. We were halfway down the hill! (I made record time to get the two dogs UP the hill, and get them back to the house).

From there, on to Kelli's to cut the backyard...

While Mr. Miller watched me ever so closely...
.
.
Cnv0941 by you.



.
.
And while Miss Kelli fixed the enclosure in the paddock...
.
.
Cnv0942 by you.
.
Methinks Breeze and May are having too good of a time kicking it out.
(This is not the first time she has had to fix those boards)!
.
.
She has a semi~permanent barn building set up to hold the hay...
As I mowed on the side of it, I damn near jumped straight off the rider.
.
.
Cnv0947 by you.
"Whoa, UGLY!"
.
.
We wrapped up early.
I didn't finish last night, but will do so today...
Tim had to be up for 3AM for work; and Miss Kelli has an infection in her eye that has swollen up her whole face. Not feeling too well to say the least...
All because Jack, (one of her cats) sneezed right in her eye one night.
.
.
Getting home from her place, Miss Milly was waiting patiently for me.
Where she goes to is anybodys guess. The picture above (with all three dogs in the field), is the last I saw of her 'til then!

Time for me to fly...
Have more than a few things to do today- and the weather will be perfect for anything outside!

Love to all! Hope you are all having a fantabulous Friday!

XOXO
Anne
