Odd feeling

Well, here we go. I've made my lists and keep checking them, twice and thrice. Kay is going to be picked up at 10:00ish this morning, so my first priority is getting everything together for her. We found a wonderful facility here in Anacortes that will take care of her while we're out of town.

I can't believe that Tim and I will be on plane tomorrow morning and that we'll be away for a full week! The morning schedule as of late has been difficult. Just getting her out of bed, fed and changed is a struggle. I pray that all goes well today. I have a feeling that once the "transfer" happens I'll come home and take a wonderful nap.

So, this is what's happening...Tim and I are flying to AZ to share Thanksgiving festivities with my sister and her in-law family and then meet up with friends and drive to Mexico to relax and play. As much as I'm looking forward to getting away, it's still an odd feeling. The house is quiet at such an early hour but I know that things need to happen soon to get ready. Packing count down.

Big breath, hot tea, oatmeal for me and away we go. Kay will be taken care of, well! Another big breath.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!

The Dangerous Sport of Lavender Trimming

Greetings and salutations once again from the chapters of Blog, it has been a long time since we posted anything here. We have been using email for all of our updates regarding Mama Kay and our situation, but Sarah and I have agreed that we will start blogging our updates again and let folks seek out the info instead of forcing it upon your email. Check us out whenever you feel inclined, we will try to post more often so you will have something new to read.

Why the strange title for this post, you may ask? Well Sarita had a bit of a tumble this past Sunday while trimming the Lavendar in front of our house, and lost a battle with the large yard waste recycle bin. She sustained a large gash on her forehead that required many layers of stitches and gave us quite a scare, to say the least! After a couple of rough days of misery, she is doing much better and should have the stitches taken out tomorrow. The dual shiners look pretty cute now that the swelling has gone down a bit. Photos will be posted later...maybe? Be careful out there people, it's a jungle! You may want to consider wearing a helmet next time you do any yard work. Ya never know!
