Let the Games Begin…

I am an Olympics nut. I have been since I was 12 years old in 19##. So I have been GLUED to the TV set this last week, in between homeschooling, dishes, errands, critters and church. Not much else is getting done. I’m squeezing in a post before the evening Olympics come on in a 1/2 hour. Names like Apollo Ohno, Lindsey Von, Shaun White, are household words here right now. As I watch with the kids, I reminisce about past Olympics and recall outstanding feats. Such as Jean Claude Killy winning 3 alpine skiing medals in 1968, the miracle US Hockey team winning the gold medal in 1980, etc, etc. They feign interest but really, they are thinking, “Mom’s being nostalgic again”, (and showing her age!).

I did see some “chicken olympics” the other day. A certain hen has discovered that llamas are warm. She has taken to roosting on them at night, and riding around on them during the day. My daughter has started feeding her on top of poor Sedro! She pecks and scratches around on top of him. He doesn’t even feel it. She gets a gold medal for “llama riding”, and llama jumping”, as she was hopping from llama to llama. Obviously she didn’t want to walk in the mud, as it is “mud season” around here. Unfortunately I didn’t have the camera handy so no pictures.

So, my husband is an Olympics widower till next weekend. He’ll have a reprieve for 2 years till the summer games.

Until next time…

Grover Cleveland, the name of our 22 president, AND the name of our lamb ram born last year.

Ondra likes to name some of the sheep after dead presidents. We have Reagan, Madison, Grover (Cleveland), we had Abraham Lincoln, and we have an orange cat named Garfield. Read the rest of this entry »

I just thought I would update everyone on my laundry pile. See The Dirty Truth: The Woes of Laundry. It has reached new heights.

Don’t you wish you had a pile like mine?

Until next time…

How do you like our new sheep waterer?

We had it installed last week. They LOVE it!

Not really.

The way we get water out to our sheep etc is not quite so sophisticated. Read the rest of this entry »
