Yesterday was Patricks' birthday! He wasn't feeling too well, so I'll get his cake made when he's ready for it. He found a photo of himself from about 8 years ago, he looks the same. No wrinkles, no grey hair.....ugh. Maybe I just have enough of each for the both of us! ;)
We managed to get to North Carolina for a fast trip to spend a few days with Jared, Chandra and Tracy. Was nice to get away, but we could of stayed longer! ;)
We had a good time, and finally got to meet Louis; the "Mr." of the family we stayed with the last couple of times, as he was deployed every time we went! Poor guy probably thought we were peddling religious tracts or selling magazines until we told him who we were. HA
Tracy is a good baby and growing sooo fast. Was told the little man wiggled out of his swing the other day, so looks like he gets to wear his 'seatbelt' now! Hard to believe he's a month old already....
Kyle stopped by on Saturday for awhile. I swear he is getting taller!
The ecoli issue was resolved, making life easier for everyone. But it put up front and center the lack of backup supplies for water here. A scary thought, as critters drink lots of water, and we use plenty ourselves here at the house, even on "rations".
The turkeys are processed and in the freezer, thanks to some great folks who don't mind helping out when the need arises. Even pesky rooster is non-existent here now, too. (woo hoo!)
We've had a cool-down, and some needed rain, with (hopefully) more on the way in the next day. Have gotten some more canning done, with more to do. Things are winding down in the garden, so there IS a light at the end of the tunnel! ;)
Got my first pullet egg today, the first batch I got were 16 weeks last Friday. So soon I shall be getting plenty of eggs! (The neighbors will be happy.) :)
