Just popping in for second....Jenny is in Salt Lake with Kendra for casting evaluation, but she should be home this afternoon. They've done her 2.5 year x-rays and there's been no change in the shallowness of her hip sockets. So they told Jen to keep her in her gait trainer as much as possible, keep walking with her, and try to get her to bear weight on her legs at least 50% of her time awake. She goes back in 6 months and if the weight bearing hasn't improved the conformation of her hips then they are planning hip surgery to deepen the socket.
We've had Katiebug with us since Sunday, so we've had a full house! Dustin and Little Diane are using Motel 5 1/2 and Bug has been sleeping on the couch. We've been running all over trying to show Dustin everything that our part of Wyoming has to offer, besides our granddaughter! So I haven't been posting much, nor have I really been reading much - more like skimming! But I figure the Front Porch is like a dessert bar - you can either sit down with a whole plate full of different goodies and enjoy each one to the fullest or take a few crumbs here and there and nibble! I'm at the nibbling stage!
As far as the gentleman who is making passes at your co-worker, Bee's advice was pretty sound as usual. I think I'd just smile sweetly at him and tell him, "How sweet of you to think of me. I've been thinking about your kind offer. My attorney is doing a background check and a running a credit report on you, so I'll make a decision after the results are back."
I agree with the others that brooding so many in such a small space will make you end up resenting the chicks and the extra work, and they might not be too fond of you by the time they go out either! Seems the ideas were flowing so you don't need any more from me.....besides, I don't have one besides brood them outside to start with if at all possible.
Stephanie is so blessed to have your for her family, and what an amazing turnout for her auction. People, I have learned, are pretty doggone good at heart and generous when they're doing it
from the heart instead of being told they have to do it. I know that in today's world cynicism is rampant, and there's reasons for that. But I've never lost my faith in the goodness of the human spirit, especially when that human spirit is guided by the Good Lord's spirit. I prefer to focus on that. She is still in my prayers.
Oh, I give up. I can't keep up with it all! I hit the posts that stuck out in my mind and I feel bad for missing some, but until the whirlwind of this week is over I'm afraid it'll be this way - a little nibble here and a little nibble there! Forgive me if I seem to be ignoring the Porch, but in the overall scheme of things my grandkids are firmly where they should be - first.
Welcome, Alice! I'd appreciate it if you'd keep my bucket warm until I get back...it's the one in the corner because I usually spend so much time there.
Charlie is making us crazy! He's learned to crow full out - and he's so proud of himself that he breaks into song whenever the urge hits - which is usually when my eyes are finally closed. Floyd and Speck were intrigued by that wonderful sound so they have joined in. And I suspect one of my Wyandottes is full of testosterone as well. How soon before the Cowley Chorus can be given their tickets to freezer camp? Shouldn't have placed that coop 15 feet from my bedroom window!
Looks like everyone is ready - going moose hunting today. Little Diane and I have a running contest to see who counts the first moose, the biggest, the most and who spots the first baby. Katiebug usually beats us both at our own game but it's still fun to play.
