Misc ramblings....

Okay I have tried to upload photos but to no avail....I keep getting an error screen and it says they are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it...I'll try again in a bit but it may be later after I've finished this writing.
Michael's Aunt Karen sent him a dragon puppet as a belated Birthday gift and he loves it. Thank you Aunt Karen. The dragons name is Cinder.
Our new puppy should possibly be here Oct 29 or 30th...We've been throwing some names around but I don't really want to name him until we see and get to know him a little bit...Michael likes Jake, probably because it's fairly easy for him to say....but we shall wait and see.
I have been working on puppy proofing the house and yard, & Michael proofing the yard too. Making a list of things we need to get before the puppy gets here.
I worked on the back-yard fence this morning. There was a hole in the fence when we moved in here and between Michael and Ebony it got bigger...So this morning I tore the fence (woven-wire) down and cleaned up the fence row. I was going to put a new gate post in but was halted by some idiot (excuse the language) who when they put in the post put 2 or 3 bags of cement at the bottom of it, grrrr.....now it's rotted off and I'm going to have to use the tractor to try and get it out....Being the tractor is at the other property I can't go get it until Fred gets home so Michael isn't on the tractor with me.
Now Fred just called and is headed to Laredo so I'm really unhappy...I have a hole in the fence, no post hole to work with...and no way to get the tractor up here to the house. Oh my what a day!! Hopefully my step-son Trey will come by this evening after work and take me down to get the tractor and I can finish the fence tomorrow...that is if I can get the rotted post and cement out...Otherwise I'm thinking I'll use a t-post...Hopefully the cows and horse will stay out of the yard in the mean time...It always amazes me how a little project turns into a HUGE project before it's all over with....LOL...I've tried one more time with the photos and it isn't working...so stay tuned some time later I'll upload the photos.

Good luck with the uploading - don't you hate that. I hope you get the fence fixed soon....I hate it when a five minute job takes ssooo long. I hope the cows stay put also...reminds me of a conversation I had with one of my African students once....I said when he went home for holidays to the village what did he do? He said you know cows Miss...well I am the fence! Maybe you need to be the fence HB!!
