You'll be great DigMyChicks

From September to the end of Novenber we put 18,000 miles on the car - and never left the state! Texas might be big, but here we have to drive around and up and over to get anywhere! So what looks like a simple 200 mile drive turns into anything but!

Happy birthday, Frankenfoot!!!! I agree with the others, Debby! Pictures!!! Drive carefully, especially if you take Muddy Gap through the Gas Hills!

Congratulations!!!! That’s so exciting, and you’ll be wonderful! That comfy box is overrated, as I’ve found over the last year! I ain’t the “formals and fancy duds” type, and I can’t hear in crowds. Plus if I get nervous, that da.....darned old stutter tends to come back. But I have to confess that despite my complaints, which I guess have been many, once I stepped out of that box I’ve had a lot of fun, too! I’m excited for you!

Nothing new here. Took a Fee to her second home yesterday after the kids picked Katie and Kendra up. Silly dog - we get there and she prances around like a clumsy ballerina, waiting for Lee to come out to put her a kennel collar on, then check her in. Then Lee opens the door to the kennels and Fee charges in and plops her hiney down right in front of her run, waiting for the gate to open so she can run in. So glad we found such a great place, but kennel bills are starting to eat us alive!

Kendra got sick at school yesterday so we had to go get her early. Little stinker got here and played hard the rest of the day. I think she’s learned to play hooky! She was helping me clean house again! Oh joy! She’s decided that if the floors need mopping, she can hit the water dispenser on the fridge, let ‘er run, and because I toss her some paper towels and warn her to clean up her mess, she’s mopping the floor! Yes, I have a lock button, and yes, she just reaches up and hits the button to unlock it. But it is kinda cute, even if she does end up soaking wet. Yesterday she decided it was the sink that needed to be cleaned, followed by sweeping the floor. Man, I love that kid, and as annoying as it can get, we know she’s mimicing behaviors and doing more than the doctors told us she would ever be capable of doing, so we’ll take it!

"but here we have to drive around and up and over to get anywhere! So what looks like a simple 200 mile drive turns into anything but!"

Ain't that the truth! It didn't take me long living here to understand why people don't say how many miles between places...we all just say how many driving hours

We will be driving through Muddy Gap, that's the way we always go. Today they have some black ice warnings but if we wait a bit that should hopefully clear up. Usually once we get beyond Muddy Gap, things are fine (it's just that 50 stretch between MG and Rawlins ).

Sorry to hear Kendra wasn't well enough to stay in school. Looks like she's up to doing some chores though

Guess we're waiting to go for another hour or so. DH decided getting another year older was tiring so he laid down for a nap.

GM everyone. I had hoped to go to a swap today, but after shopping all day yesterday and unloading feed i was too tired. It looks lovely outside!

Maybe I missed it, but what kind of goats are you getting, Cappy?

Oh, man, don’t get ME started on 9 hour drives to nothing! I can’t tell you how many of these long drives for visitations we’ve done where we get there and there’s no dinner planned, just the meeting, and no other ladies are there. So I sit in the closed off part of the Lodge building with not a soul to talk to, a phone and iPad I couldn’t really use to come here and visit, and a book that I wasn’t really interested in reading! A lot of times there was no way to know in advance if there would be anyone else there. If I knew in advance that there was nothing going on except the meeting, I just stayed in the hotel

Ms B, that sounds like the very definition of my personal hell! The ADD would have me looney tunes crazy after about 10 minutes. You are my hero!

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'd drive 9 hours one way for....hmmm, ain't got nothing.

Not even to take/pick up your kid at college?

If I knew in advance that there was nothing going on except the meeting, I just stayed in the hotel.

Coulda just stayed home!!!

Man, I love that kid, and as annoying as it can get, we know she’s mimicking behaviors and doing more than the doctors told us she would ever be capable of doing, so we’ll take it!

Looks like she needs the smaller size gloves.

Nigerian Dwarves. Easier to handle than big goats.
