Hello friends! :hugs

I miss you guys n' gals!

Quick visit because the boys are playing soon but just to let you know I am still breathing! ;)

One more week doing two jobs. Apparently I am doing really well and getting good feedback on my transcribing which I am thoroughly enjoying and can't wait to get stuck into full time!

I can feel your joy, awesome!!
 
I got woken up at 3.30am by the cat chasing an escaped quail around the bedroom. He seems unhurt and their cage was covered up so not sure how he escaped. I've only got 4 inside now but they will be moved to the shed once we have a secure cage for them. I didn't bother going back to bed - being short on sleep is preferable to broken sleep for me. Maybe breakfast will help me stop yawning.

Enjoy your days off Debby - those are some serious hours you are putting in!
 
Getting ready for our trip to South Dakota early Monday morning. Evan just left this morning to spend the summer with his dad and other grandparents, so that means that Tam is home alone. But no worries - she's going to stay here and take care of Fiona while we're gone. Fiona took to her crate like a chicken to a feeder, so that helps a lot at night. She's a great dog, but she's still a puppy and she's still a chewer. <sigh> With a mouth that size, a table could disappear in mere hours. But with her being crate trained now (even though it means my living room is gone!) Tam can put her in before she goes to work and let her out for the day as soon as she gets home. That's only for Friday and Saturday since Tam works overnights on just on Friday, Sat, and Sundays, and we'll be home on Sunday so Fiona should do just fine those two nights. The rest of the Tam will be here and up to supervise the little (big?) monster. Stocked the fridge, got fresh sheets in hot running standby, so Tam should be set.

After Fiona's spay surgery, we'll be able to board her when we go out of town. Tam won't always be able to stay here, and we know that. It just happened to work out perfectly this time. Found a really good kennel only 50 miles from here in Cody, so we're comfortable with that, especially as often as we'll be gone when Ken becomes Grand Master in August. Some of this stuff is all stuff you don't really think about when you fall in love with a cute puppy face, but it's all part of having them. When Kenny and Jenny lived across the street, they just came over in the morning and let Molly out, made sure she was fed and watered, and played with her. They could see her in the yard and keep an eye on her while they were at home, so it was no big deal. Molly was also older - less inclined to chew or get into trouble. But now they have a huge dog of their own, and live on the other side of town, so the entire equation has changed. And Molly's face wasn't at counter level, either! :lau

Teila, good to see you peeking in from time to time.

Jae, an escapee is a good way to get the blood flowing early in the morning! ;)

I know I've read everything but just so much going on!!
 
Ken has Native American blood in him. He builds and plays Indian flutes, and Jamie also plays. Whether the tune is haunting or upbeat, there’s no sound like it. One day I’d love to hear him play one of his with the drumming.

Edited to add: He’s also got a strong Scottish heritage - glad he plays the flute instead of the bagpipes! The learning phase could have been horrendous in this tiny house! :lau
