Gotta admit I miss my old shoes - but the new ones are oh so much more comfortable!
We went to the m-i-l's place for T-day. There was a total of 13 for dinner and a few others that rotated in and out for a quick visit. DH and I took separate cars so that I could come home a day earlier and he could visit more with his brother who lives out-of-state. It was a nice visit - his family is so much more family friendly than mine.
I came back Thursday afternoon, hoping to stop by my parent's house for a visit. I'm trying to re-establish a closer bond since my sister passed. Called my mom when I was about 30 minutes away from their house and she was napping. I told her I'd be driving by their place in about a half-hour.... Geeze mom - was it too much for you to get out of bed so I could stop by? Guess so..... story of my life.
Got home earlier than I thought I would so I took advantage of the extra time and worked some more on the critter shed I'm building. I am sooo NOT a carpenter, lol. I've got three walls up and have no idea what to do about a roof....
I'm kinda doing this on a wing and a prayer so I'm expecting some epiphany that will make all this clear to me. OMG... ya'll pray that I can figure something out. It's quickly dawning on me that I shoulda made provisions for roof supports BEFORE I put the walls up. Any body in the Houston vicinity that feels sorry for me yet?????
The goat with the eye problem is just not good. Her eyes look lots better - no more tearing, swelling has gone totally down in one eye, and is much better in the other eye. But - she's blind. I really don't think it's pinkeye - because none of the other 24 goats on this place have any issue at all. I can't figure it out. She's had 6 days of treatment and I'm gonna give her another few days but if she doesn't come out of it - I'll have to put her down. I could keep her up in a stall forever - but what kind of life is that? She'd have to be kept alone cuz even the friendliest other goats will still butt the heck out of her at feeding time and she's got no way of defending herself if she can't see.... Poor ol' gal.
We got rain today! We've been in a drought situation again.... about 4 inches behind in rainfall. Not horrible, and not nearly the 20+ inches behind that we had last summer, but we needed rain. And - we got it! Must have had at least an inch. Not too shabby.
Just finished a meal of elk venison that was given to us by one of the relatives. Great flavor - but dry....
Come on folks - you gotta put some FAT in that sausage, lol
My old body hurts - too much building, hammering, sawing, nailing things up, pulling them down, adding more supports.... just too much carpentry for my old self. Geeze, I need a little cheese with my whine, lol! I'm heading to the hot tub.
Unless it was inside....
. 
I do remember that I pitched a huge frugal-fit over the ticket prices!
