Coming soon

Hey my followers!!!! We really have had a lot going on here in our personal lives, that has kept me a lot busier than I'm used to. My mother in law has required some antibiotics by IV, but thankfully there is only 2 weeks left of that. She's doing fantastic, and I will spare you all the details. But the whole family has pulled together to help her in her recovery,

So, I've been working on a crochet pattern to share with you guys. Right now, I'm double checking that pattern, and will hopefully have it up for you all by the Sunday night!!! It's nothing overly exciting. I wish I could design as fast, and big and beautifully as Sara Zimmerman over at Repeat Crafter Me, that woman is a serious inspiration to me.  She just leaves me completely awe inspired with her use of colors, yarns and textures!!!!

Anyways, I'm taking Sam to the groomer this morning to get him straightened around. His fur grows so long and fast on the backs of his legs, and his belly, that if I don't keep up with the grooming he ends up rather matted, and I can't get it to brush out. Unfortunately he has a couple of spots like that now, and I need to get it taken care of before it gets any worse. Luckily he loves going to the groomer. Although, we are using a different groomer today. The lady that I had been taking him to had to retire due to health problems, and she really did a fantastic job with him. But I completely understand why she had to retire. Today we are going to the groomer at the Vets office. This guy is really good as well. He's who we took Nikki to during the last couple of years of her life. She hadn't needed a groomer before, but as she got older, her grooming needs changed significantly due to her joint problems, and other things. She loved it there so much, that when we would go to the vets office for her regular visits, or shots, or general stuff, that she would try to go back to the grooming area. I really think she liked the heated bed pad they would put her on. I'm positive it felt great on her joints.

My diet is going quite well by the way! That's still going. I joined a gym in town, and I'm loving it. It's really quite the sweaty workout in there. I'm not sure if it's the heat, or if it's the fact that I'm working out in a way that I don't get to work out  here at home, but whew. I go 2-3 days a week.

I can't remember if I told you all or not, but we did get our second house for the chickens. We seriously need to get it set up before too much longer. Once we get it up, the plan is to run all of the birds down to the new house, and let them in there over the winter. Then, we are going to do a super cleaning of the one we have now. We will take everything out of there, and scrub the ceiling, and walls (it's dirt floor, so you can't actually wash that, just dig it out pretty good). Once we get that done, the plan is to sand the rest parts, and then are going to give the inside a paint job with some paint that will prevent rust. I'd like to paint the outside to look like a barn...but I don't think Frank is as keep on that idea as I am, so maybe just spray it off really well, and paint it the same colors it is now...brown and tan if it needs it.

Well, that's about everything that could be exciting on this end of things. I have a pile of recipe's to share with you guys, and as I said, I do have a crochet pattern to share with you guys that I've been working on, and I WILL have it up this weekend!!!!!

So, that's it better jump off of this computer, and get my rear in gear!!!!
