#1) Well I had to make a special trip to Lennox to show my mom how her Life line worked.. since I couldn't get her to understand on the phone.. We didnt run through it yesterday when they put it in.. because she was in the middle of Ocupational therapy AND they said they showed her in the office when they signed her up for it. I made her breakfast since she cant use the stove.. And then I didnt know it was city wide rummage... so I got to go rummaging for an hour before checking back on her and heading to work!!
#2) My oldest sister got out of the hospital today after passing out and breaking her arm at her new job.

Trying to keep a secret! The Gospel music group that mom and I go see as often as possible.. is comming to her appartment today to sing for her! We had gotten to see them 1 week before her stroke. We've seen them 5 times in 3 days before! I might have to tell her she is getting company.. but not who.. I need to get coffee and lunch set up somehow!

Watching the deer come up to the apple block. First pair were young bucks, 3 and 4 inch long horns in velvet. But what really made me smile was the last deer through the yard. She still has a limp, but it looks like her front left leg has healed (she was more or less dragging it along when I s first saw her in late March).
Lesson learned: Do not mow the grass to close to the fruit trees. It seems the deer don't like the tall grass, and stay mostly to the mowed areas.

The apple block I put out last summer, my folks bought years ago from the local hardware store. I have not checked to see if they are still available. I still have two more in a galvanized container (garbage can), and this one is still more then half of the original size. It should last until winter.
The salt lick is gone, and will have to get some more of them.

One of the containers is a bulk tank strainer from our milking days! All that in an effort NOT to have to mow tonight!!

Walking down to my scrape wood pile, a turkey was walking up. She turned around dropped an egg, and ran down the hill into the trees.
So any way my sister is going to help my 9 year old great niece hatch it for her 4h project. It was that or having turkey egg for lunch.

Smile?? Or laughed with fear might be closer to the truth! We went this morning and set up a comfort keeper companion service for mom to fill some of her time we cant be around.. As we sat having lunch afterwards.. I noticed some banana's on the counter that wasnt there before.. I asked mom about them?? "Well I went up town yesterday and got them" How?? "I drove!" You Didn't! "I did too" I went and checked the fridge and she had gotten several other things too.. In fact she said she went up town twice because she forgot her purse the first time! SO we imeadiately took her house and mail keys off and hid her car keys!

Did you tell them they can watch as long as they dont chew off anything you planted?
Smile: I put all our memorial flower bouquets together last night. And I have Sat., Sunday and Monday off.. and have so many things/places I'd like to do/go, there could be two of me and it would make it easier! One for the should do's, and one for the want to's! But my son is comming today to help me get room for my moms car in the garage for now.

I did not think of that, not sure they will listen, when I ask them if they are having a good day, they just keep chewing on the grass!
Guess I will rely on good fencing.
Smiled this morning, when a very young bunny came up and was sniffing my boot. Do you know how hard it is to get anything done, when you are afraid of stepping on the little guys?

I was out in the yard this morning when the turkey hen came up to drink from the pond. She didn't run off this time, but just walked around pecking at the ground. I am sure she is nesting just south of the house.

The one I have is FULL of spearmint and chocolate mint.. Running my hands through that and smelling it makes me SMILE..mmmmm!

I put in a dog kennel when I first moved here but never used it as such.. so I used part of it as a compost bin. In order to reuse it.. I would have to knock the cement off or dig a big enough hole to plant the whole thing again! Dont know if I can do either one myself! And would anyone else want to do that? I have 2 heavy rolls of the link. Maybe 125-150 feet. My son says I dont need anything that heavy for a garden fence to keep rabbits out..
Craigs list, I have never bought or sold anything on there.. But I should put Dads Remington and Winchester advertizing signs/things on there.. Or thier rug loom.
Smile! Its the weekend and I told mom to be ready to go to church for the first time since her stroke. She dont really want to.. so we will see! I won't force her if she's not ready!

I planted a seed of taking the kids to Hawaii(well.. pay half). Daughter and her husband mentioned going again.. I have never been anywhere that far away.. And I thought if we could get my son and his girlfreind time off at the same time.. and him on a plane(he takes after his dad.. never wanting to get on a plane), It would be a nice vacation. But we have alot of things that would have to fall into place for it to come about by Nov.. or even Jan.

Finally, someone else that has something to smile about even if its a train wreck! But you do have my curiosity up!!
My Smile.. At work today a couple of ladies asked me for color strips to mark name tags for a big reunion they were planning to attend! Needed 12 different colors for the different branches of the family tree ect. I asked if it happened to be July 10th?? Yes it was!! Well I'm part of that reunion too! Then I thought I recognized the one lady.. but thought her last name was different. Well it was her first husbands name.. and it turns out I grew up next to her mother in law and played hide and seek with her kids back when! And thats why I love my job.. I get to see people from my past all the time and get to visit with them a bit most of the time.

Since you don't, and won't, know the history involved I could care less if you say
Smiles, in case you didn't know, aren't always a reflection of mirth...sometimes they can be a reflection of irony.
So to you I say 'whatever'.
Yes, I smiled. No, I wasn't proud of it.
At least I am human enough to admit I am not perfect.
