I hope I got a pix to put up, so you can get a visual on it... nope... so, I'll have to google one and put it up), and eating and basketball and eating and socializing and eating and still having 2 huge pans full of pork... and that was only 1/2 a pig.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Anyway - thx to all who made it a blast... and hopefully more of you can make it next year... we plan to do it in June... when it's cooler!</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Blogger won't allow me to put up the last few photos... there's 30 below... so, the newest post will have the rest of the Roast!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisI-X-hvO5NmUaoonEFmQrQRLJ4A-S_n9ceJ3xh61ymIftnoGCSMVl6cTRwVkc5GxLQMOMnpVGPBezQG-nJnkEQlohAM6ygxVV8A22YZIeryaSGwHvx0K6MWb9DofgiWm0PDEdY25djeo/s1600-h/IMG_3176a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228930064985701026" style="DISPLAY: block;

Here's time in a nutshell:</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">I ended up going back to AZ to help mom out. She developed some clots and will need continued prayers for this! She's on thinners. She has a great mental outlook. Pray that healing continues and she will fully recover!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Between trips to AZ and back to AZ I got to see the girls at their soccer camp. They had a great time and learned a whole bunch. Hannah was on the winning team! Go Hannah!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">The last return trip landed me back home on the 4th of July. Fireworks is a must... and it's so great because you can do them in your own backyard! (which is easy when you've got lots of land available!) NO worries about who's driving on the roads... since you're already home!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Hannah and Grace went to camp for the fish and wildlife conservation camp. This is THE most awesome camp ever! They stay on a lake for a week and are constantly going from one activity to the next. They learn certain skills and if they pass the tests, they earn patches for the skills attained. They have the opportunity for swimming, boating safety, archery, hunting (rifle safety), outdoor survival, nature, and I think there is one more. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Last year neither girl got the archery. This year Hannah got it, and she also got the OutdoorsWoman patch. She received a letter stating her name would go in a drawing for the January camp, all expenses paid. This will be for waterfowl sporting. (she's not too keen at all to do that... but it would look great on the resume for college!)</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">The letter stated only 16% of all campers get this invitation.... 950 out of 6000 statewide! So, we're very proud of her! Pray she gets picked. They must take one adult on the trip... and let's see.... it will be January.... in the water.... it will be cold..... ummm yep - that means dear ol' dad will go!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Also, we learned that Grace is the poster child for their promotions! Last year she caught a trophy sized small mouth bass that measured in at 21.5 inches! anything over 20" is trophy size! So they snapped her photo... and now she's on the postcards, the posters that travel the schools, the lifesize posters that are at FW facilities! We had no idea! So, I called our contact and left a message requesting a 100 or so postcards so we can mail them out to everyone! She is so photogenic!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">We had to canx our Pig Roast. That's been rescheduled for the future. I'll put up pix after the fact! We're looking fwd to that!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Oh... we've had a few mishaps... we have yet another mega snapping turtle in our pond. We know it devoured one baby duck... and believe me,the ducks are about full grown sized! And the other day when we were leaving, momma duck was screaming. Charlie ran up to the pond to see the snapper take hold of a ducklings leg... he wopped the snapper w/ a rake. Needless to say, the duckling didn't survive but a few more days. And then Sunday night our saddest of all, momma duck must have got in a tuffle with a baby racoon. We have the trap set once again.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">(I forgot to mention that while I was gone to AZ, Don did catch a coon in our trap.... and a few days later, Shadow finished off a juvenile coon.... Shadow....the KoonKiller! whoddathunkit?)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">So - to end this one on an upbeat note! The sky is brilliant blue ~ the pond is clear ~ the fish are biting ~ God is faithful... </span></p><p> </p>Cheri w/ a "C"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03498048956654720460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317180070617109591.post-63958592863087713982008-06-20T19:22:00.002-04:002008-06-20T19:30:13.768-04:00Blind as a Bat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HPgm4apzFuglE0ro0OD9slyKcWvfxGy7SRnawTK6hYTF4R69bVpTK60lVK321blX1SAxbovioLcuhCXTUPv5Tw8qRYLU8FPltu5fYjNp2GgwTpN8yWO-gRlshTMcj5VidOlxngvPx2U/s1600-h/batpug.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214109841026389282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HPgm4apzFuglE0ro0OD9slyKcWvfxGy7SRnawTK6hYTF4R69bVpTK60lVK321blX1SAxbovioLcuhCXTUPv5Tw8qRYLU8FPltu5fYjNp2GgwTpN8yWO-gRlshTMcj5VidOlxngvPx2U/s320/batpug.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">It's been a week... we'll just leave it at that.

What could be better? My crew tells me how much they miss me each time we talk on the phone. I've asked if they've missed me as their maid or their mama! They assure me it's as their mama.<br /><br />Last night our neighbors came down on horseback. J, B, & J each on their own horse. They're helping us 'finish' training Star. Grace saddled up Star and away they went in our paddocks. As they went to the front of the property, the cows followed behind curiously. When the horses turned around, the cows tho't they were being chased, so they took off running. At one point, Steve the Steer, got his head caught in a "V" of a tree. Grace said that he eventually broke free and had bark all over it.<br /><br />Dory, our cow that jumps over the moon, decided to be precocious and boldly approach MoonMan, J's horse. She's trained him to take a few steps backwards and then he rears up. So, MoonMan did this to Dory. Grace said Dory came out of her hide! She was so freaked out, that she ran off to hide. Put her in her place, I'd say!<br /><br />I miss my kiddos, I miss my hubby, I miss my home/farm/way of life. It's wonderful to be with my family here in Hot Country, but after a week of 110*+, I'm fried!<br /><br />Mom thinks she may have a broken rib. This would be a huge set back post-op. So, we'll see what will happen as far as me coming home. Continue to hold her in prayer.<br /><br />*When you look at the tree pix... look on the upper right portion of the trunk. Tell me, does that not look like Baloo, the Bear, from The Jungle Book!!!!<br /></span>Cheri w/ a "C"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03498048956654720460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317180070617109591.post-70178666945299643262008-06-19T00:53:00.004-04:002008-06-19T01:05:05.817-04:00Long Day<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Today we got to bring my mom home from the hospital. It's a huge relief and prayer answered to getting her back on the road to recovery! Please continue to hold her in prayer for full recovery... and that once she's feeling better, that she'll limit her activities to 'doctor-approved' activities... ie - not lifting or holding the g-babies!<br /><br />I learned that in my absence today - back on the farm my mil took the kids swimming again, while my fil cleaned the fridge! While I'm so grateful for that act of kindness, it is completely and utterly humbling! However, I will say, with 7 sets of hands going in and out of the big box... it doesn't take long for spills and thrills to happen... and get lost in the crowd in the shuffle of milk and catsup and 20 different types of mustard and breads from around the world, not to mention the countless opened cubes of real butter. Thanks Boboo!<br /><br />No news on the rooster, but Don did come up with one more farm cliche': "he's a tough ol' bird."

I'm in AZ helping care for my mom who has just had a major surgery. My in laws were so kind to come and care for the kids in my absence. While the kids might be crazy at times, I don't think they could hold a match compared to the stunts the animals have pulled since I've been away.<br /><br />Farm life has many exciting moments: exciting in the way of terror of nature being nature as well as the opposite end of the spectrum of being absolutely rip roaring hilarious! These past few days have been no exception!<br /><br />Don came home from church Sunday to find a flock of Turkey Vultures in our poultry pen. Well, if you're around us long enough, you'd know that when we see a T.Vulture we scream out, "I'm alive... I'm alive..." as they only feast upon dead things. Evidently the dead thing they found was one of our hens. Turns out we have a creature raiding our coop at night.<br /><br />Don started the next day by being awakened at 530a by Jode, our newest cat, bringing a gift of fresh, screaming bunny! Jode thought my in laws should dine on such a tasty morsel for breakfast. But, instead, Jode was shocked to have Don chasing him down the basement, as the baby bunny is screaming his head off! (if you didn't know bunnies made noise... have no doubt they can be LOUD!) Don retrieved thus said bunny and cat, banned them from the house and started his day a bit behind schedule.<br /><br />He headed off to the barn to learn the coop raider came back that night for his 2d course to dine upon, Hen Head... ummm... quite a delicacy (NOT). This creature also took on our Rooster with head to tail combat. Don ended up doctoring the rooster w/ hydrogen peroxide and bag balm, not believing the rooster would survive. Needless to say this cocky rooster has been taken down several pegs and has one tail feather remaining and very little beard about his neck! But was found crowing the next morning...<br /><br />That evening, not to be outdone by Jode, Baby, our precious kitty, thought so highly of my in laws as to bring them a headless mouse for dinner! He was stopped on the deck with the cat door being blocked off! I'm certain he got quite huffy on everyone refusing his gift!<br /><br />By the time I come home, who knows which animals will be left on the farm... guess when momma's gone, nobody is safe!<br /></span></div>Cheri w/ a "C"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03498048956654720460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317180070617109591.post-46709685521221417602008-06-12T11:46:00.005-04:002008-06-12T12:01:33.888-04:00DUX<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2w7bVAh9LO_3NtkLhh4ZYRmuyMDA6q-QbA4jqZJblIVJQ8DJqdyc1-ROIYAm2BHFf7ySDqBbV3XO7d8z3FTjyHOHHYdZOQBesnBqferSXW7vGuDG3eMdcq16Wo3wIikjzvejjK0MyV8/s1600-h/IMG_2715a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211023031029431442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2w7bVAh9LO_3NtkLhh4ZYRmuyMDA6q-QbA4jqZJblIVJQ8DJqdyc1-ROIYAm2BHFf7ySDqBbV3XO7d8z3FTjyHOHHYdZOQBesnBqferSXW7vGuDG3eMdcq16Wo3wIikjzvejjK0MyV8/s320/IMG_2715a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yr6nuNO71KAdyRqJJrB77coJfpQjxrx_oafks7k13I4z2eDRoqTuNFKtQgC5Z1cZq_xjvKoYuv3vbHYHR-z4KnDImxwpNFSrthaFOQFVWF6teECBDNkb32s2yOOMQ8f2M73YQee0Ob8/s1600-h/IMG_2716a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211023056976205586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yr6nuNO71KAdyRqJJrB77coJfpQjxrx_oafks7k13I4z2eDRoqTuNFKtQgC5Z1cZq_xjvKoYuv3vbHYHR-z4KnDImxwpNFSrthaFOQFVWF6teECBDNkb32s2yOOMQ8f2M73YQee0Ob8/s320/IMG_2716a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOPsKGD-RpZshff6qLoDyKNDo0pEx0XQVOpjPSnYHWdpozTsPnURv00SJIH-I35D5In1DXI2PLMGfc6ahW_rVtrS2aPY-iZqhv1FhKsVVQW7rVKNTY28RyIlCfJHvppl_VZqac4WCMii0/s1600-h/IMG_2718a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211023075250822130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOPsKGD-RpZshff6qLoDyKNDo0pEx0XQVOpjPSnYHWdpozTsPnURv00SJIH-I35D5In1DXI2PLMGfc6ahW_rVtrS2aPY-iZqhv1FhKsVVQW7rVKNTY28RyIlCfJHvppl_VZqac4WCMii0/s320/IMG_2718a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrjiil7CSe7JMe3XHO8iejOeHl47CzuDEoEwNpBV3lgYboaxX8mDyU0TudwV6yJ2pnQK9hJ7R8DPlseIph7IrsOAHdKv9zp9RouYztTZzrxbh5I6jEqFfO7SuVyOnN7V2TAadRteCjAI/s1600-h/IMG_2719a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211023085958036098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrjiil7CSe7JMe3XHO8iejOeHl47CzuDEoEwNpBV3lgYboaxX8mDyU0TudwV6yJ2pnQK9hJ7R8DPlseIph7IrsOAHdKv9zp9RouYztTZzrxbh5I6jEqFfO7SuVyOnN7V2TAadRteCjAI/s320/IMG_2719a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphKQHUh8EplAlGbyB1ApSPhJ0UHcHdba7R0UAXu8ZIZf33WWuDl65HamWfLip5jclVUT69RelMuP7B-yj8gMWcvrLZ1U4qkT-5uKbEbsllHiX5bP_I6IXDmgdUy99LmjUNEIL6MV6HoY/s1600-h/IMG_2720a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211023105380898722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphKQHUh8EplAlGbyB1ApSPhJ0UHcHdba7R0UAXu8ZIZf33WWuDl65HamWfLip5jclVUT69RelMuP7B-yj8gMWcvrLZ1U4qkT-5uKbEbsllHiX5bP_I6IXDmgdUy99LmjUNEIL6MV6HoY/s320/IMG_2720a.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Our Momma Runner Duck successfully hatched all 9 eggs that were viable. These babies are now about 4 weeks old and are starting to lose their duckling down. They're so sweet and soft and utterly terrified of us.... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the kids going into their pen to catch them.... by means of conquer and divide!<br />Duck Cliches:<br /><em><strong>Like a duck takes to water</strong></em> (not always true... it's definitely learned behavior, IMO)<br /><em><strong>Sitting duck</strong></em>.... (just as the fox who went out on a chilly night, he prayed that the Lord would give him light. He had many a mile to go that night before he reached the Town-O, Town-O, he had many a mile to go that night before he reached the Town-O..... this 'catchy' tune is on the Nickel Creek - our kids LOVE it.... )<br /><em><strong>Duck soup</strong></em>... well, that would be the best garden fertilizer left behind in their waters... and you tho't it had to do w/ a soup found at an Asian restaurant, eh? Let's hope they're not one and the same!<br /><em><strong>Duck Muck</strong></em>... see above<br /><br />As a kid I learned this little ditty.... let's see if you can read it correctly.

So, here are some shots from a recent game. Again, he's the youngest and smallest player out there. However, everytime he gets up to hit, mission accomplished! Probably 9 out of 10 times, he hits the first ball out of the pitching machine! It doesn't matter if the ball is high, low, inside, or outside... he just smacks it! His coach wonders if he has a ball magnet inside his bat... I just inform them that he plays ball with me in the back... and that this is by far my worst sport. So, when I pitch, he gets them hi, low, in and outside! He just swings at them all! It's real cute to watch him out there. Some of the parents refer to him as the "Field General" as he's calling out plays and where each of the guys needs to be located - depending upon the hitter! This guy is typically very quiet and content and laid back... however when it comes to sports - he must take after his momma.... the fire of competition ignites and there's no putting it out! There's no option but to win! : )</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipK06WfzhfEKrXdieSLvW7xlGMk6l_M0goDPYaWz3q1L7StRLbpA1I_ElYotXwAEQoDXzoMT4Fa9zWS2tJq8nzSzsJiuEA-LgabeiCdkRrxGLAuVOEYRoZQSTJojgfOVCVbsoqkwW28jM/s1600-h/IMG_2733a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210285544717708210" style="DISPLAY: block;

This was the first time that Don and I and the kids went. Just typing this brings out tearful emotions. Survivors of cancer sported purple T-Shirts and were honored with a 'Survivor's Lap' around the track. The 2d lap was dedicated to all the family and caregivers. We all participated by walking with friends from church who have survived colon cancer and prostate cancer, a neighbor who's survived breast cancer, and I met up with a survivor who was walking alone. We hugged around the entire lap and shared tears of sorrow and tears of hope. When the sun finally went down and all became dark the luminaries were lit up. By then the volunteers had input all the names of those who have passed on and these names scrolled across a big screen. That really grabs at your heart, as does the Walk of Remembrance. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Our church sponsored a booth this year, as they've done in years past. And when we flip thru the pages of the pictorial directory, there isn't one family that isn't left untouched by cancer in some form or other. Our Leader, Jeff, got to present the speech this year and one fact really shook me. He said that this year alone 12 million ppl will be diagnosed (Dx) w/ cancer and that 360,000 will no longer be amongst us next year for the walk. These will be the names in the luminaries burning bright into the dark night.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">This year during the moment of silence, the space station flew overhead and it was just so appropriate for us (our group) to be looking up. Many other groups started taking pix of us, it must have been a Kodak moment having 50 ppl looking up into the heavens during this time. But, it was just so perfect. Many groups quietly let their balloons go.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Even though the occasion was very heavy, there was still so much hope and joy to fill the atmosphere. There were jumpies for the kids. (Kellar was barefoot and did this jumpy obstacle course that the National Guard set up... he was constant for 4 hours running thru this and sliding down the slide and flying across the asphalt. Poor kid, by the end of the night he had blisters covering the bottoms of his feet, crying the whole way home.) </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Don and walked for a while and we'd jump in with friends here and there. I tell ya, living in small town communities has many advantages. Everyone is a friend - everyone will stop their life just to talk to you. There were hula hoop contests, and both my girls were winners! They did an over 30 group, that I participated in... needless to say it came down to 2 of us... yours truly, and some other lady. So, they asked us to do the Mac-a-ran-ah (sp???) Well, I did, and the other lady didn't. I lost... but really - I was the better hoooper! ; )</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">I'm going to put a boat load of pix... I hope the ambiance of the evening shows through.</span></div>Cheri w/ a "C"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03498048956654720460noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317180070617109591.post-64833240012836225932008-06-06T16:47:00.003-04:002008-06-08T15:30:48.116-04:00DeJaVu - It's a Ford<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">We're heading off to meet up w/ friends from church who have out-of-town guests and heading to the KY Horse Park when all of a sudden they brake in front of me - and my Excursion refuses to brake! Instead the RPMs fly past 3000 and I'm fighting against the accelerator still flying over 30, standing on top of the brakes. NO GO! so, my body flies into learned behavior from my early 90s of owning a Mustang that did something quite similar. I swerve to the shoulder, throw it up into Neutral and shut off the engine and quickly coast into a gas station parking lot! Call the dealership - and by the end of the day, NOTHING comes up on the diagnostics - no errors - no worries (according to them) - no problem (still, according to them.) No theories as to what went haywire with my loaded gun.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Can I just say that when I was in my late teens, early 20s and this sort of thing occurred with my Mustangs (yes - it happened w/ more than 1) - I was still invinsible then. I was single. I had no kids. I had no responsibilities. I had no worries. This time, this was WAY different! Not only did I have my 4 precious kiddos, I had another friend's son. Plus, I'm in the biggest family vehicle known to mankind... the Excursion. What a huge missile.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">So - I told the kids... so be it! We spent $89 for this diagnostic thingy to be done... but the way I normally look at getting stopped at red lights, or stuck behind a tractor out on our country roads or having to yield for a train (we don't mess w/ those!).... I just chalk it up to God protecting us from some serious harm!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">If I had to live thru my yute w/ those Mustangs in order to not plow over our friends in front of us... so be it... God provides... He protects.... I pray Psalm 91 many a time each week... Lord protect our household and those we love.. send your angels around us to lift our heels, so we don't strike it upon a rock.... (or in our case... our loved ones).</span><br /><p><br /><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYydkEHPQG3LHe3qs-leDLnQKiY72yCglCaDrSeBVyBWJgFV9UCmipA-mr016ejJU2nI-fy9T_EuyxzE_1aI5D6IDFluF78AMsQTypcdva4EQznrgRYWDgzXs03k1REMyYU9KKLubasZQ/s1600-h/IMG_2764+a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209594291660909138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYydkEHPQG3LHe3qs-leDLnQKiY72yCglCaDrSeBVyBWJgFV9UCmipA-mr016ejJU2nI-fy9T_EuyxzE_1aI5D6IDFluF78AMsQTypcdva4EQznrgRYWDgzXs03k1REMyYU9KKLubasZQ/s320/IMG_2764+a.JPG" border="0" /></a> Charlie under the sign of a horse w/ the same name.</p><p><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSp7_hNIPlDrWMfBPD3Lgfkhyphenhyphen8Le7Gczujp0V2EkMHFItZTHH3z4MJCxMpAQKtjE-RUE0DXc2PmCpwmxH2TimntlMESD073Emu5FG3IJJwO7YV2KDoHiI_HGALm2nB0pBkXPCAVF7_pDE/s1600-h/IMG_2771+a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209594296736561458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSp7_hNIPlDrWMfBPD3Lgfkhyphenhyphen8Le7Gczujp0V2EkMHFItZTHH3z4MJCxMpAQKtjE-RUE0DXc2PmCpwmxH2TimntlMESD073Emu5FG3IJJwO7YV2KDoHiI_HGALm2nB0pBkXPCAVF7_pDE/s320/IMG_2771+a.JPG" border="0" /></a>Here's a Shetland Pony with her baby who is about 2mos old! </p><p><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1K0xcKyqPcUxFDVopObUg6fV8CIK7gZtBY-pDpToWn1RvYwsNCV3XYMqhms22RBKpA4KchdqBO5e1XRBbTQTC5FqPo2JLyp5_5PrbQn-ehcyByv2ze-GAvWsrduNpYHPH1LbUfX1pBLM/s1600-h/IMG_2772a.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209594303319299282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1K0xcKyqPcUxFDVopObUg6fV8CIK7gZtBY-pDpToWn1RvYwsNCV3XYMqhms22RBKpA4KchdqBO5e1XRBbTQTC5FqPo2JLyp5_5PrbQn-ehcyByv2ze-GAvWsrduNpYHPH1LbUfX1pBLM/s320/IMG_2772a.JPG" border="0" /></a> These pix above & below are so funny.

So bright and early this morning I got on the horn and called up some local companies. The first co. couldn't come out until the end of next week... ugh...

And if you might be an "Ein - hi - mer" then a "DRIVEWAY" is where you drive thru to get your food from the fast food joints!<br /><br />I honestly can't remember which of my kids started this saying, but it's always been a part of our family, so I'm thinking it must have been one of the girls. Nevertheless, when we go to a Wendy's or Mickey Ds, the kids always ask, "Are we eating inside or going thru the driveway?" </span></div>Cheri w/ a "C"http://www.blogger.com/profile/03498048956654720460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317180070617109591.post-65008556107904723882008-05-24T17:51:00.005-04:002008-05-25T17:36:54.680-04:00Catch of the Day: Part IJust wanting to put up the "Catch of the Day!"
