Family weekend for Fathers Day

The Peavey family all came this weekend to see Ange, Greg and Pavia. It was so nice to see them and the two boys were able to make it also so Robin had his three kids here for Fathers Day. He doesn't show it but things like that mean alot to him. He hides his emotions and feelings well.

It was great seeing the kids and little Pavia is more beautiful every time I see her. Ange and Greg brought her to work so I could show her off (which I did proudly).

We are heading for Maine with the kids next week, I am looking forward to that.
On the 7th Robin and I celebrate our anniversary and on the 11th I will turn 51. It will be a busy week but fun. I love to travel and have new adventures so it will be enjoyable and turning a year older will be easier.

Naked Llamas

The llamas finally got sheared and are now naked. They look so much better and seem to able to handle the heat better. We got some nice fleece from them so maybe now we can maintain their coats better. No one got hurt but Robin and I both had sore muscles from it the next day. The guy who came to do it said that Meeko was one of the worse acting ones he had done all year. Matilda who I thought would be the worse acting did great once they caught her and got the harness on her. The groomer raises alpacas and thinks she is pregnant also. So will be looking forward to a baby sometime in December.

Tractor Show and my furry babies

Well we made it through another antique tractor club show, it was much bigger this year and I actually had a good time. Sheba and Sophie were stars of the show with their John Deere hats and leashes. Sheba thinks the whole thing was for her. Sophie wasn't afraid of the tractors like I feared and seemed to enjoy looking around. They did really well in the motor home as did their Grandma (Betty Lou) who stayed with us for two nights.
Work is still the pits and therapy still hurts more than anything but hopefully it is helping. They extended my time so I get to go longer since my knee is missed up also.
Robin lost a uncle and a aunt last week it has been hard on him. I wish I could go to the funerals with him but the way things are at work I don't dare take the time off.
But it is just about time to go home. Robin has gone to Detroit for Aunt Ruby's funeral and patch his roof and mow the lawn at his house on 11 mile so I am going to curl up and watch some tv and do nothing but relax.

Life and old friends

Life has been busy with everyone getting ready for the tractor show this weekend. Sheba and Sophie have their John Deere hats and leashes ready and are staying over there with us all weekend, this should be interesting. Sophie is afraid of her shadow so I am sure the tractors will terrify her. She did chase three deer last weekend so maybe she is getting braver.
I just wrote a email to a friend I haven't talked to since High school what a weird feeling to write to someone you haven't spoke to in 30 years. I wasn't even sure what to say. And to think I use to tell her my every thought. We were best friends in high school and then life happened and we moved out seperate ways. Friends are so important I don't know why we allow ourselves to do that but we grow and change and outgrow people or put them off saying I will call or write tomorrow unfortuntly tomorrow gets to busy to and then it is just to easy not to do it. Shame on us!

so many things to get done and no energy or time to do it

I have so many chores to get done that has been put off due to this darn ankle. It always has bugged me to go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink but since Feb. I have been doing it more and more all the time. Poor Robin has been so good and patient with me. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I found such a great guy.

How long is this foot going to hurt? Physical therapy yesterday caused it to swell up and throb, I am not looking forward to returning today. Maybe if they hurt it enough it will start to feeling better.

Llamas and Robin

We have to get our Lamas sheared soon I am worried how they are going to do it. Meeko the male is very protective of Matilda the female. Robin seems to have a bond with Meeko so I am hoping they can do it when I am at work and Robin won't get hurt. He sometimes does more than he should not knowing his limits (Robin that is). Meeko does seem to have some respect for Robin. More than he does for me anyway, he just tries to push me down and show me who is boss. They both are beautiful animals but sometimes I worry they are to much for us to handle.

I miss Linda!!

What a day! First full day back without Linda my co worker gee I do miss her. I never realized how much work we put out in this room until I started listing what we have accomplished this year. We work well together and I consider her one of my best friends. I pray funding comes through quickly to get her back.
