Any Time Is A Good Time For A Drink

Clear, beautiful, refreshing water, all to myself

Get out!  Don't you know cats catch roosters?

I knew it was too good to be true!

One peaceful drink, all alone was all I asked.

I give up.  Cheers!

Who's The Dummy...

that HAD to go to Batesville this day???  Me, of course. 

Most people know never, ever go to a larger town or any place to buy anything this close to Christmas.  I was not most people.

First we fed, then we shopped. 

Glory be!  I did not know so many people could fit into Penney's.  Andrew needed shoes and pants because he looks like he is wading water in his jeans.  Thank goodness, he is old enough that I told him this was the major part of his Christmas.  He could wrap and wait or take it now. Yippee, I don't have to wrap.

The easiest stop was Bath and Body Works and that was in, pay, out.  I knew what I wanted and where it was.

WALMART next...I write that big because I am still shuddering over a Sunday afternoon in Wal Mart.  Came to find something for Jake.  He wants football stuff and I can't find a thing to fit him.  That's what I get for waiting.  Maybe I will give him a card and say your Christmas is a day with Nana at WALMART and let him buy his own Christmas.

We also had to shop for  a school gift.  Andrew found the rest of his Christmas!  No wrapping for me for Andrew.  He has new picks and new guitar strap and new music.

Fix-a-flat and razor blades is what hubby got for Christmas today.  I am not wrapping his either.  I received some double A batteries and some bar soap so I am fixed.  Look how much we saved on Christmas wrapping, time and paper.

There is a problem I noticed...by the time I bought cat and dog food the cart was full.  Can I take that off my taxes since I foster animals for a non-profit organization?

Things I noticed today:

WalMarts are not laid out the same.  I was lost!  Who moved the bread??? 

English was the second language. 

Nobody, I mean NOBODY, says excuse me when they are in the way or run over you.

The last thing I noticed was I am still not in the Christmas spirit and that is sad.

Frost Bites!

So be aware!

Hang together for warmth

Even the air has an edge to it.

New Foster Dog...Help!

I have to learn how to say no!  I have a new foster dog to be trained.  Gentry, or Gen, is a beautiful Border Collie mix with a bob tail.  She is already smarter than me.

Andrew and Gen have hit is off quite well.  Gen is house trained, already knows "Look at me" and "sit" and just in two days!  How can I clean house and ride horses when I keep getting new dogs to train????

Gen has Yoda's stamp of approval.  Just look at that face!  A big red bow is all she needs to make someone a wonderful gift.

It Matters Not...

nor do I care,

Which end is up

or even where!

Yoda

Yoda likes to make the bed.

I guess he brought this from his last owner.  When I make the bed, Yoda goes wild!

I cannot straighten the covers with out him helping.

My nephew mentioned how dogs look like their owners, jokingly of course, but I am afraid that I do...just a little.

Does your pet look like you? 

The Last Calf

A late season calf, Mama was not willing to share.

The only white face Gelbvieh we have. 

The little bull's markings are very unique but Mama's keeping him safe.

All the ladies circle around and keep the humans away.

He is doing wonderful and is certainly protected.

I shall get that head shot soon, to show his beautiful white face.
