Almost forgot!

My little buddy Eli was supposed to get a new brother and sister this week (adoption) and it has fallen thru. Lily, Tank and I will have to walk early tomorrow, to check on him. He was so excited, makes me sad to think it's not going to happen....

We checked on her twice today!

Mama Duck is still sitting on her nest....Lily, Tank and I walked twice today, just to check on her. I was telling the girls at work about her and they said to take her some corn or bird seed...I do not want to cause the other ducks to go around her, so well just have to wait until the eggs hatch, then take her a treat. Danny and I drove around McKinney looking at houses today. Nothing great so far. My requirements are big trees in back yard, covered patio, one story preferably, wood fence around back yard and preferably hard wood floors. Lease is up at the end of next month....decisions, decisions... Appears the storms have missed us...for once. My rent a car is in the garage, driving it while the hail damage is being repaired on my car. Going to take about a month...it has to have a new top and windshield. Hopefully when our office moves to Irving...we'll no longer be in storm alley, like Lewisville now.. Lights out on another hot weekend. PK

Still can't believe it!

6 months....1/2 a year....180 or so days without smoking! And yes I feel much better! And to Lucy's Mom, if you should happen to check out my crazy little blog, I am thrilled to see that she Is doing so well and that your precious family is getting back to a new normal. Happy Friday! PK

She is hanging in there!

Even with these two checking in in her.

Or maybe it's Colby 1 Deer 0. Either way....hi truck lost the battle.

The goose that laid

A bunch of eggs. Tank, Lily an I check in her everyday that we walk. For over a week now she has been hunkered down on her best. There are at least 8 eggs.... Even in this heat she sticks with this mothering thing. Not sure how long it takes, but I'd bet she is more than ready for those babies to hatch!

A few firsts!

We've had a couple of firsts this week....Chelsey got her first pay check. I realized that it is the first time in my adult life that I do not have to shop for school supplies. Colby took his first college placement test. And this is the first time in a long time that I am not working on Saturday! All of which is good stuff! Happy Saturday all! Try and stay cool... Pam
