LOTS OF STUFF

I sit outside on my swing writing this. Don't you love wireless? Alex is running around playing and the rooster is a few feet from me crowing. I LOVE THE COUNTRY. It is so peaceful. I would describe it as quiet but in reality, I am having the rooster crow over and over, there are all kinds of different birds in the trees making all different kinds of bird calls. When I get time I'm going to learn the different ones by their "songs."

It has been a busy, busy week. The playyard is finished. LuLu opened her eyes and started standing up and trying to walk. She isn't three weeks old yet. We had a managers party for Clay's work last night and there were about 30 people here. There was one lady here who was probably older than Clay and I but other than her we were the oldest. The youngest one was 4 months old and she was beautiful. People brought a friend, a family member, babies and one even broughther puppy. It was a 4month old lab. Of course Clay cooked and everyone brought a side dish. Lots of food and water balloon fights, everyone got on the swing the slide and the trampoline at some time during the evening. It ended with a big bonfire. OH, the thing that caused the most excitement was some adults took the kids to the hen house to collect eggs for the day only to get in there and find a black snake already there and eating the eggs. Not poisonous but can't have it eating up our eggs. Drew and Clay drug it out of the hen house and took the rifle and shot it's head off. It was almost 5 feet long.

Today for the first time in decades I got on a swing set and I was able to swing side by side with my grandson. I feel so alive here.
