Sarah and her Daddy

For about 6 months this is what Sarah has been doing. It's like she's trying to protect him. 

It's 18 outside with winds of 40 mph!!

Oklahoma has a song about "the winds come sweeping down the plains".  And that's just what happens. 

It's not bad when the temp is 80. But when the temp is 18---well that's the time to stay in. 

Or get comfy and sleep

This morning I was using my phone to look at the outside temp. When I saw the 18 my phone kinda shined everywhere. 

Sarah CAME out of that bed running and OOF OOF gurrrr. 

Woke Jerry up. 

Oops!!! 

It didn't take her long to do her business outside!!

It's been an hour and it's STILL 18!!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on the--- grass!

Yesterday-and today-it's been wonderful weather. The air smelled fresh and clean. 

Beautiful!!

I went outside into the sunshine !! It made me have the warm fuzzies. 

I just wanted to stay out for a long time. 

Then Jerry let Sarah out. She lives sunshine. We keep the door open so she can sun. 

But today that's not all she did. Today she decided to roll -in the grass. 

The DRY winter grass. 

This is what happens when she rolls in the dry, VERY dry, winter grass!!

Out!! We're finally OUT!!

We went to Corsicana on Friday to meet some of the 500 cousins that Jerry and his brother and sister have. We had an amazing time. 

The girls didn't. 

They had to go to lockup. 

So, this morning we bailed them out and now they are living it up. 

It's rest time. You know how that goes when you get bailed out of jail?  Have a good time and then lots of rest. 

More about the girls later, Linda

     

Relaxed !!

This is the epitomey of confidence in your parents!!

I wish I could see all the furry people so confident and relaxed. 

Help the Humane Society where you live. 

More Later, Linda

Sarah in the chair

Sarah is in Jerry's recliner. She's been there since 5 this morning. 

Now, she never stays in the same place for so long. We talked about it and decided she was really tired. 

Could be because Bella was here from Wednesday until Monday. Bella is our GrandDog who lives with Lynn and Keith. 

This is Bella. She got tired too. 

Jerry got tired too!!

And sometimes it was all of them at once!!

Lynn and Keith went to Disney World where Lynn ran a half marathon with Nonie and Julie. 

Left to right--Nonie, Julie, and our Lynn. They all were in Disney character costume!! Maybe next year we can go and watch.

The gardener and the animals.

At school the year we lived in the castle as Phil and I called it, our school had a gardener and he let me help him plant the new flowers.


Our mom was sick - very sick - and I just remember how soothing it was to put those plants in the ground, cover the roots with soil, press the soil around those roots and then to let the water run down into the soil and surround the roots with dirt. Such a simple thing. But a soothing one. He even gave me some to bring home. Mom got to see them when they bloomed. 

We also one day had a petting zoo come to our school. Chickens with their chicks. Like pigs and sheep. Some calves. That's all I remember. Except. I remember petting all of them. I don't think anyone else did. Jerry tested up when I told him. I had this wonderful afternoon petting animals but he lived on a farm and had those cuties around all the time. 

Kids are kinda deprived these days. No animals, no gardener, no monkey bars or dodge ball. 

I feel for them.
