By Barbara Lawrence
This is the picture of the 2 day old lamb I got to see a week ago this past Sat. Daryl couldn't believe it was 2 days old because it looks so big already. The baby wouldn't turn around to look at the camera so Emma waited to take this at the best angle.

Sleep Apnea test 07/16/09
By Barbara Lawrence
went for a sleep apnea test yesterday. Before I left home, I had to make sure my hair was CLEAN, with no conditioner and no makeup or moisturizer. They want your face and head clean so the "stuff" will stick to your skin.

A New Fence 07/15/09
By Susie Devries
My neighbors in the back are finally replacing the old fence. It sure looks a lot nicer. Problem with today is the heat! It's been 95 today with a heat index of 110! It doesn't look like they got very much done today, but keep in mind just the son was out there working most of the day. When Dad got home, he came out and helped him put the new boards up. After it's all up, I am going to put some weather proofer on our side of the fence.
