Heel low:
So we are back eh...sure we all will do OK but we're gonna whine...fur a time I bet!
What are the girls in a fluff about...they relined the door foam on my bus doors and now the doors won't stay closed too well and well, Emmy noticed the bus doors were open and put up the "Girl DOG alarm!" because something wasn't quite right at the Ranch.
My sister Leeta, an opera singer, an actress, model, fitness trainer, writer, athlete (she travelled the world playing volleyball) and all round health buff also enjoys a good wine, good food, a nice car, hair & makeup, ...
Here she is in her own television series. I am told she had this on the internet for sometime before it was picked up by Joy TV...I don't do videos on the Net or get Joy TV...so here's a link if you do want to see some of her shows.

She did a pilot on this topic, oh maybe 18 years back but had to wait until a good friend of hers got involved and now the both of them co-produce this show. Looks like alot of fun too and I am ecstatic for her success. She always was a social light, knew the latest fashions, jewlery, best places to go to get fabulous foods, etc. so to see her doing this...totally in her element and so proud!
And so we get this straight...my sis is the CITY mouse, and I am the COUNTRY mouse...she's a Bentley Babe...I'm all about trucks (and maybe ducks too!). VBG
Speaking of ducks, new Mandarins have settle in nicely, the new hen has laid about six new eggs in the tree nest box, expecting her to begin setting on them anytime. Ruddy Shelducks are laying still, tons of duck & chicken eggs. So yeh, spring is on the go.
Went to our favourite place for Chinese last night and came across this great metal art of a dragon. What first attracted me to this building and location was these rain chains which are huge but beautiful!
I have a set of watering cans...I was getting the green ultrasuede some time ago and Joan had these watering cans and I was not sure exactly what they were...walked into Crappy Tire and voila, there were many rain chains and costly...holy cow!
Priced at $115!!! for a short chain of them. Can you imagine what these large buckets would cost? There TWO strands on each side of the building that I could see.
I am truly excited to announce...I have put in an order (sent a deposit off) for an Australian Dorper ram lamb...he will be from semen brought here to Canada and inseminated into ewes from a farm that is truly focussed upon production of meat aspects. I am looking at rams like Mickey Mouse and gasping...what meaty beauts. Possession takes place by August of 2018...so a ways away but oh my, what fun. This ram lamb will cost us three times what we paid for Boss Man, but here's to hoping he is more than three times as good. LOL The farm is biosecure like we are and about a hour's or so drive. Planning on looking twice at ram lambs and dams before choosing and we get, YES, we get first choice of the ram lamb crop...should be way over the top and to me, be like Christmas, Christmas in the summer time.
Some of these rams have sold for $10,000, upwards too of $34,000! Good gack...for a Dorper sheep...hee hee. but then one only has to look at those MEATY butts and you are lost cause. I have named him already, he will be registered as, wait for it...FERDINAND!!! Ferdinand was a code name used by the Australian Coastwatchers in WW2 and it would begin with the letter "F" for the tattoo year 2018.

Seller has agreed and noted it in our contract. Also the Walt Disney short film (and original book from 1936 which outsold Gone with the Wind too) on Ferdinand the bull---running around smelling flowers instead of fighting...we hope he breeds our ewes before he gets too lax a daisy and sniffs, lazying around do nuthing much! VBG
Hauling out lawn ornaments, bit by bit and also doing clean up in garden and flower beds. Spring is here and we need to get things going outside.
I began my swimming end of April. Began at 30 laps, then next week later, to 40 and now to 50. At first, had to rest a bit after each lap and then went to two laps and rest, then four, and now up to six laps and a rest. Also able to do 1/2 lap of butterfly which makes me happy...butterfly is difficult and glad I can still do that. Also adding doing some breast stroke laps fast as able. Should be good for my cardio and over all health benefits of upping your metabolism. I go twice a week and hope to make this a life long habit. Love swimming and love being able to do it again...after a 20 to 30 year break was like I never stopped it. I use a chlorine remover shampoo and good conditioner but expect my hair will still be paying a price for the pool dips, but oh well...better to have dry hair than have nice hair on a corpse, eh. LOL
Girls go with me in the summer sub and quite enjoy the trip. When it gets hotter, they will have to stay home as I expect an hour to hour and half will be too much for them when the heat of summer is upon us.
Emmy & Lacy both celebrated their two year old birthdays...Lacy had breaded cod fish on her B-day on the fourth and Emmy had beef burger on the tenth when she turned two years old.
May 4, 2017 - Lacy's B-day
My mother's day present from Rick was a small dragon statue with a ball, reminds me of Lacy and her love of playing. Son gave me twenty bucks and I bought an all red and pink fingerling set of seed potatoes in his honour. Six new varieties to try out. Glad I put the cart full of seed potatoes in the garage last night as the cold would have harmed them. Still pretty cold at nights.
