Pickles Can Hear!!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Bloggy World,

This is Pickles aka Mom. (Pre-Op photo) She had her surgery and it went great!!!!!!!!!!! We are home and she is sleeping and except for the depth perception problem(She tried to get into the open car door from two parking spaces away) she is doing well. Not to mention the fabulous fashion eye wear the eye surgeon gave her.

Thanks for every ones prayers. She told me to tell yall she appreciates all the prayers and that prayers are what we all need.

I only have the one Mother who I would die for, and I think I was more nervous than her.

Her hearing seems to have improved since seeing the eye surgeon. :-}

We have to go back tomorrow so I will get to once again stay in my childhood home for another night. I had a blast last night.

You can go home again despite the ole' saying

I miss ya Critter!!!!!!! Are you taking good care of all the kids? Make sure you fly spray em when you feed! ( If you are new to the blog or just peekin in. No, I am not a Mom in need of a mental check up. Our kids are horses and the fly spray is a must this time of year)

Terry Welcome to the ranch! Thank you for your prayers they are much appreciated :-]

Gotta Go I hear a Pickle stirring in the jar.

Mom

My mom is having eye surgery tomorrow, so I am going to stay with her until Sat.
If you recall I called her about a month ago and she said she couldn't hear me so she was going to have her eyes checked.
Turns out she has bad cataracts so it's off to the hospital at 5 am in the morning and surgery is sch. for 7 am. ( I am loving harassing Mom about that line - Can't hear due to poor sight)
Think of her in your prayers she is a wonderful woman and I know you would love her if ya knew her.
So wish us luck and grace.

Bye, Bye staycation :-(

Well vacation has come to an end. Back to work in the morning. I did get some things done and I did get to catch up on my sleep.
The weather here today was wonderful, you couldn't have asked for a better day. It rained all day yesterday and the grass this year is looking wonderful.

Sad news today. The midnight raiders came back Fri. night.They killed 7 kittens and a pregnant Mom cat. The Momma cat was a great barn cat. I am gonna miss her.
I talked to the owner of the raiders and let him know that if they come back they wont be alive for long if we catch em. It was a friendly conversation and he understands but like he said the are just dogs the people dump in his yard.
He has all these dogs because people like to dump their unwanted animals out in the country. I don't understand that at all. There are shelters and free ads.
I just can't see how one can just dump their once loved animal out to fend for themselves.

VROOM, VROOM

Thurs night Critter was taking me to Olive Garden and we made a quick stop at our local Sears. We are in need of a Pancake generator. We didn't find one but we did find ourselves eyeing new lawn tractors so we do a little lookin around then leave for dinner.

Our current mower we got free, not really free my Dad made a deal with us about 6 years ago wherein he got a new dryer, I got the lawn tractor that was owned by my sister and she got a non-working push mower. Yea, my Dad could make deals that sounded great really until you were standing in your driveway with a non-working push mower and your sister just drove off with your working tractor and Mom and Dad were home using their new dryer.

Flash forward to today the mower leaves giant clouds of white smoke so thick you can't see, the seat cuts your butt, you have to use a hammer and screwdriver to start it and I could go on how the wheels are vertical and how the tires are racing slicks but ya get the picture.

We ended up talking about how we needed a new tractor and the expensive of one $1000-2000.00 for the type we need and how my Uncle Cleve (He owns a Sears store and lives on the Texas Coast) my have one we could get, so I call him and the next thing I knew ROAD TRIP!

We made a run to Rockport, Texas. 5 hours and your there. I love my Aunt and Uncle they are tons of fun and just great people.They have this great house right on the water. I love it at their house. Well, as you can see in the picture we now have a brand new lawn tractor with cruise control and all the bells and whistles. ME SO HAPPY!!!

I never did get dinner and I told ya I wasn't your avg. woman.

I am flippin excited over a mower.

Who is Scrappy Doo???

I am not one for putting my face out there. Stalkers, fans, law enforcement, etc...

But, I just realized you need a face with a name so here ya go. Meet, Scrappy Doo and Critter

Me tired???????

Open up and say AHHHH!!!

CD got his teeth done yesterday. He got a big ole tranquiler shot before he got his teefers done.

Dr. Hendricks is an awesome vet.

CD has some strange bald spots on his head and the Doc let me know it was a fungus. Yes, We have a fungus among us. So now we have a very expensive shampoo treatment to be done every other day. (The fun just keeps on comin)

I got one side and the back of the barn painted and tried to do some today but, with 40 mile an hour wind gusts I got more paint on me than the barn so I came on home.

Critter and I are helping out a friend renovate his house so we have put in all new flooring and hung sheet rock and are putting in doors and windows and I am doing all the taping and bedding. I was headed down there tonight to work on that and I tell ya I just ran out of energy! I am just worn out!!!! so since tonight is the finale of TOP MODEL my but is now home and kicking back and I will fight the good fight tomorrow

The Dr. will be right with you

I have a wad of cash in my wallet and the banker on standby. Tues. all the kids are getting their check ups, shots and dental exams.
The one great thing is that the Vet comes to us and he is a super nice guy.

How is my vacation going?
Glad you asked.
I mowed the entire farm Sat.
How did that go?
Glad you asked.
Can you say SUNBURN? my face is now peeling away like some kind of monster.
I ran over some kind of wire that ripped the rear tractor tire. Can you say kaching?$$$$$$$ Apparently, tractor tires are not cheap.
Was today any better?
Glad you asked
It rained this morning so I did some housework.
I have an inch gash on my forehead. The curtain rod ambushed me when I wasn't looking while I was trying to rehang curtains after washing them.
I flushed the toilet this morning and the handle broke
Gave up working around the house so, I went to the farm to weed eat and the Weedeater died for no good reason know to man. So I made the wise choice to just come home.
So how am I doing now?
Glad you asked
I am still on my staycation!!!
Have plans to get on the ladder and do some barn painting tomorrow :-}

Gotta go, I am Jammin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I out of touch?

I don't own an IPOD
I don't text I prefer to talk face to face
We don't have cable or Satellite
I have manual roll up windows on my truck
I love to send handwritten notes to friends in the mail
I don't do e-pay for my bills
I color my own hair and get it cut twice a year (so no real beauty shop chat in my life, unless you count the cat screams for food at me when I am blow drying my hair)
A big Fri night for us is going to Hastings and buying books and videos
I am moving to a farm and we think that the city we are living in a city of 3K people and one flashing light is getting to populated.

So am I out of touch?

Wait, I need to change one thing. I have an IPOD purchase on my very near future, but I now will need to learn about ITUNES I guess or does the IPOD magically know all my favorite tunes?
