Goats and caverns

Friday night, George brought 5 pygmie goats home with him...2 moms and 3 kids. They are so cute...you can see for yourself. I played with the 2 that go with the brown mom, but they didn't like me much....and when they cried, Goldie the horse, got all excited...she didn't like to hear them cry.

Here are some goaty photos.




On Saturday we (George, Russell, Ryan, Leah and myself) drove over to Blanchard Springs....The kids had never been, so since it was a dreary weather day, we went to the caverns. I got a couple of photos that were ok in the caverns but my camera just doesn't do well in that much darkness. I thought it was a nice tour and if you've never been, it's something interesting to see.



We drove on down to the spring to see it....I love that kind of running water creek.
Since we had someone with us, I made George have his photo made with me. He really looks pleased dosn't he.

It was cold and dreary but it was still a nice visit. We drove on into Mountain View and had lunch at Country Time Dining....then back thru Calioc Rock for some more sight seeing...we had to check out the boat ramp on the White River at Optimus.

Now we're just hanging out in the house....watching movies and goofing off....going to fry chicken for dinner since both Ryan and Russell are going to be here for dinner.

What to do....

Well, I'm sitting here thinking that I need something to do and I need to think of something to do this weekend....Tomorrow during the day, I have to go to Heber Springs for a meeting...Ryan and Leah are coming in on Friday night and I have no clue what we're doing this weekend....thougth about fishing but the weather isn't supposed to support that idea. Tonight I iced cupcakes for FFA Week...I didn't get fancy...just did some blue and some yellow for FFA colors.

This has been 2 weeks of hand injuries for me...I look like I've been in a fight...on top of the strained tendon and rope burns and the skinned nuckle that I already had, I cut a finger last night on a broken glass...it broke in my had and sliced right in.....ugh!

That time again

Project Graduation is coming around again....I attended a 2 hour meeting tonight that was so unorganized that we got about 30 minutes worth of actual work done.... oh well....
The Legends in Concert show is scheduled for March 21st. There is an auction as well.... Now, we have to gather donated items for the auction..... good luck to me.

I'm so not looking forward to gathering items but I will give it a shot.

Forward Ho!

I have only the best wishes to offer as Dr. J heads back home to Texas to a new college, a new life, and soon a new wife. I have truely enjoyed working with him and admire him a lot. I know the next college is very fortunate to be getting him as their leader. But, I will miss him. I spent a great deal of my time at work with him. We worked well together and our personalities went together quite well.

So, here's to you Dr. J....Salute....

All this sadness.... it has sort of surprsied me. I guess I was more attached than I thought I was. However, this is not the end of a friendship, but a separation through location....we will continue.

Now, we all move forward....we search for a new president, he begins a new presidency, Vernon has a new president... Forward Ho!

Not a happy week

This is it...the final days that Dr. Johnston is with us. He is moving to Vernon after the weekend....Yesterday was his last day at work and tonight is a little going away dinner for him. George is smoking brisket, salmon and turkey and we're having a pot luck at Tina's house.

It's getting colder outside...my horse is out roaming in the yard. George likes to let her out to eat the new grass that she loves so much. I'm not doing much of anything right now....I've got my laundry done and I really don't want to clean house, so I'm watching TV and goofing off.....come to think of it, I was going to spackle some nail holes in Nicole's room....so I can touch up before my new pictures get ready to hang....think I'll go do that.

It's a great day in my neighborhood

Guess what arrived in the mail today! Yep, you guessed it...my new Cole Haan pumps..man are they cute! Ha! But....what really got my attention was this......

It finally arrived...I say that like I've been waiting forever...but I just faxed the "mail it" request yesterday...and I got it today! My diploma....it doesn't seem real sometimes because it took me so long to get it done, but it's REAL!

Aahhhhh!

Not Broken

Ok, the finger isn't broken. I had to have some blood work done today so I had them xray the finger...not broken...yeah! All purple and hurts a lot...but not broken.
