Hi there! It's Friday night and it's been a busy week as usual for us! Last Saturday Jeremy and I went out and left Isaac, Erin and Lyndsay at Aunt Jenni's. Earlier in the day we went to the property and dropped some chickens off at Dad Fitch's, then went to Diamond C for some horse things. I went to an open house that day as well for my nephew. Sunday was church. During the week, we've gone to see the horse (Gentleman) a few times, riding him a bit as well. Just getting to know him and get myself back into the saddle again comfortably. He is so nice! He will pretty much do anything we ask of him. We are trying to help Heather out by cleaning stalls, etc. as well. We were going to work on a stall tonight since it rained, but got a little too relaxed here at home. We were originally going to spend the night in the camper at the property, but it started raining/thundering. So, we vacuum-packed the chickens we have left here (going to deliver some more tomorrow as well!). We are pleased to see that people are really interested in them and after eating them are impressed with how good they are!
The kids have enjoyed playing at Aunt Heather's during the times we are there at night. Brooke and Curt were at their dad's this week. Brooke came home a few days early and spent most of that time at Heather's with Gentleman since she is going to camp all next week! Tomorrow we will be going to the property at some point. We need to mow and clean the place up a bit. We have an open house to go to in the afternoon. We have to work this Saturday:() So, this will be a long week!
Amber is at an open house with her friend, Rachel. Isaac is talking to his cousin on the phone, Curt is playing a computer game and Brooke is cleaning up after dinner for me so I can be typing here. I just finished using the WII-fit program a little bit and now Jeremy is doing it. We finished fencing in our backyard this past week also. The chain link is all the way around with 3 gates so that we can drive throught to the back where the garden and horse will eventually be. This way we can hopefully lock the gates to ensure that Erin stays in the yard and doesn't end up out back with the horse. While working on stretching the fence in the back section, Jeremy had to weed whip on both sides of the fence. I ended up putting the ties on the fence while he finished the gate. I told him I was probably going to end up with poison ivy. YEP, sure enough, I got poison ivy. I have it on my shoulders, the back of my neck, my legs, and my lip and eyelid. YUCK! Jeremy only gets it if the juice gets on him and since he was weed-whipping... he ended up with it all around his ankle where his boot was. Talk about both being miserable! We let our dog, Thunder loose in the yard and he had the greatest time running around with the kids - his ears were flying in the wind and he looked like he was grinning from ear to ear. We can't leave him out there unsupervised for fear he might dig into the chicken pen...
Well, I've got to help Erin with some clothes issues. She has a problem making it to the bathroom before having a bit of an accident... I will post more pictures later = Amber has my CF card from my camera! Have a great weekend!
