One of the Sergeants took this for us-Patrick, Kyle and me ;)
I'm not short--they're just extra tall (ha ha ha)
Saturday we took Kyle and his GF out for Chinese at our little restaurant in Fairbury. He did a good job of running around and sayin' 'Bye to folks!
Sunday afternoon we took him up to the Marine Recruiters' Station in Lincoln to drop him off--with a stop at Dairy Queen for treats on the way. From there he went to the MEPS station (with the other two fellows who also enlisted) in Omaha. Today they leave for San Diego for Boot Camp. It'll be a loooong 3 months for them all.
Jared called Friday night, it was 5 am where he was--it was really good to hear from him. Not sure when we'll hear from him next, he'll be out in the boondocks for awhile! :(
I took the empty the hay trailer over Saturday to get loaded, we picked it up on our way back from Lincoln Sunday. I bought some Chocolate Mint and Orange Mint....now I have to figure out where I'm going to plant them!
Thursday night when I came home from work there was a dog in my back pasture (not mine!) and had killed two older hens and one younger one and had mauled my rooster (he was alive--lost LOTS of feathers). There went 1/3 of my laying flock......anyhow I was p.o.'d (understatement) and the owner got lucky it wasn't a dead dog. It will be if it happens again--the owner was warned. It wasn't totally the dogs' fault, it was the owners' fault for not keeping it where it belonged, and not knowing where it was/what it was doing.
The cows actually went after the dog--the owner had better thank their lucky stars it left them alone.
That's the news for the past few days.....I'm sure Kyle's kitty will be a rebel soon enough from missing him. (She's a Naughty Cat in the first place!) ;)
