Hi Adele,
You got a lot of rain that is good. I hope that you get some more until you have what you need. We have not had any rain for awhile so we probably need more.
I am sorry to hear that Gary has another infection. That poor guy. It seem like infections are getting harder to get rid of.Men never listen to anything we say. They are a pain. They never listen to anything. I hope that he is drinking a lot of water now. It is hard to drink water When there is so many other good things to drink around.
It is hard when when someone has a disease like that. It is hard to believe that they will be alright. Prayer will bring her thru.
I am not sure if you asked this or if Gail did.So I will put it on here and Gail will read it. They have not scheduled the test yet and they still have not given me the results of my blood tests. The doctor is really good but the nurse is not the best in the world. She never calls back until you call the office three or four times.
I wonder if Aizen lets JJ play with the rat and spider very much. He really likes that. I can see it now JJ having to grab them really quick before Aizen finds them. Are you ready for Halloween? We are not sure what we are going to do this year. We may not give out candy this year. We are going to just stay home. When we are at home no one comes here the houses are too far apart.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
Shepherd of the Hills is separate from Branson. It is on the way to Silver Dollar City but not exactly that far. It is hard to explain. They do have a tower that you can go up to the top and look out. They also have a zip line and a gift shop. Then you have to get on the trolley and ride into the part where they do the Shepherd of the Hills play and the hold up. It is interesting and fun to go to. They also have that outside place to eat and they do some type of show with horses while you are eating. We decided not to do that because the day we were there it was windy and the smell from the horses was a little too strong. The Noahs Arc show is in a theater. It is in Branson and it is right by a hotel but I cannot remember exactly where it was. That was in Branson though.
I am not sure how I feel. If he would quit trying to hurt the puppy it would be different. He is still doing that and we have to watch him and make sure that he leaves him alone. We try to give each of them the same amount of attention but he is just too jealous. He was jealous of Biskit also but Biskit was here first and she could take care of herself. She knew that we loved her and was not as jealous as he was. I do not know what is wrong with him. I think it will be okay with two puppies. We will keep them outside during the day and let them in during the night. Snoopy had never been in the house until we got him and he has a hard time with it. The poor little guy missed his siblings and has to stay in the house at night.
Where we are the houses are so far apart that they usually never make it to someones house. They like to run in the woods and go to Ruth and Joe’s house. That is because they give the dogs treats all the time. They said that after they give them a treat they tell them to go home and they go. That is the other dogs we had. Ron is hoping to teach Snoopy to stay in the yard.
I watched the chew also. It is funny that Daphne did not bring her family with her to Disney. Her little girl would love it. Unless she did not have them out because todays show was at night. I like it when they are at Disney.
Well that is about all from here have a good night.

Hi Adele,
Thank God that your sister in law can be cured. God does answer our prayers. It will be nice when she gets out of the hospital and can go see her husband. It is so nice that you went to see him. I know that it was hard for you and Gary. That is just so sad.
I am glad that you are now getting the much needed rain. I hope that it helps the drought that you have been in. It is nice that you are just getting the rain and that the hurricane has gone around you. I hope that it is headed out to sea again. It would be great. It has already caused enough damage.
That is funny that Steph does not mind that rat and spider. I guess it is a good thing since she has two boys. And a grandma that likes those things also. lol Does JJ play with them at all? He is such a good kid. We are all lucky to have such good grands.
We will keep praying for your sil and bil and hope that things get better for that family soon. Will pray for the kids they could use some prayers also.
The puppy is ten weeks old. He is just a little one. He sure can get into things though. It is always a job to train them. Ron is talking about getting another puppy. He thinks that will keep the other one company. We will see what happens.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
It is hard to get to sleep especially if they play a really good game. The cubs do deserve to win this time around. They have not won in such a long time and it is time. At least they will accept that the curse is over. I am not sure if that is the problem but everyone keeps saying that it is.
Snoopy is getting into enough trouble that is for sure. Ron is thinking of getting another one of the puppies to keep this on company. That is all we need. He wants to give Austin to a friend of ours that really likes him and would take care of him. He just will not get use to the puppy and will not let him alone. We are afraid that he will hurt him. We never thought that he would be that mean to little snoopy.
I just feel so bad for Kendall. I hope that she does not have any more of the stomach aches. That must be so hard to go to school and get sick over it. I hope that they figure out a way to help her. I am glad that Lachlan is feeling okay. That is so nice that Piper gets to go the bakery with her dad. Probably makes her feel special.
We have the reenactment of the civil war every year. They do the battle at Pilot Knob. Melissa had to film it one year when she was in high school. She did pretty good. But I would say that I am her mom. We have gone to that in Mindin Nebraska. They had an old school and a town. It was really interesting.They did some reenactment about how things were in the early days. They also do that at Branson. They have wood carving and all that stuff. I guess that was silver dollar city. When we went to Shepherd of the hills they had a hold up. They stopped the trolley that we were riding and took one of the passengers off the trolley. They had a lot of shooting and it was just funny.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.
p.s. That is funny about your mom. It was nice that she offered to churn the butter for that woman.

Gail, I am rooting for the Cubs also. Ron isn’t. Why I do not know. Unless he is telling me that to aggravate me.

Hi Adele,
Ron does that when he sees a puppy that he likes. It does not matter what I want. This dog will be an outside dog after he gets a little older. He stays outside when during the day. We have a pen for him. Our other dog does not like him and bites him. So we will have to keep him in that pen until he is older and will fight back. Well not exactly fight but not let Austin bite him. He is too little now. He does not know what to do.
That is good that your sil’s kids will help out with both parents. That really makes a difference. It is really nice that you and Gary are helping out also. That will give them a little break and they can do things that they need to do at home. I cannot imagine what they are going thru right now.
That is funny we need a little Piper. She is funny for being so little. She really is a lively child. I guess her talking all the time comes from her great grandma and her grandma. We do pass our traits on.
I cannot believe that Aizen like that rat and spider. How did Steph feel about it. She may get a little surprise sometimes if they are playing with them and she is not expecting it. That would not be a fun thing for the kids to play with if I was there. Boys always do like things like that. I guess some girls do also.
I wrote to Gail about what we did today if you want to read it. It is too long to write again. So that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
We did finally decide to call the dog snoopy. He was getting into everything tonight. He emptied out a shelf on one of our cabinets in the utility room. We have to keep him in there when we leave the house. It was funny he decided to be mad at Ron for leaving him so he went potty on Rons rain coat. It was in the laundry basket. Ron will probably forget about another puppy home.lol
I am sorry to hear that Lachlan is sick. Hope that it does not go thru the whole family. That is the only bad thing about having more then on child. They always seem to pass things on to each other. That was nice of Jenny to do all that cleaning. You should not catch it after all that she did. It is hard to stay from the grand kids. They are so cute and so much fun. How is Kendall doing this year in school? I hope that she is more relaxed in school now. That is hard when they get that nervous at school. That is funny about Piper. It was good that when she fell she let you know that she was okay. You sure do not want her to go on without letting you know.lol How is she doing in preschool? I bet she is a lot of fun.
We went to the pumpkin fest this year. It was really nice. Mandy and the girls went with me. They had a civil war exhibits there. They had these two men that had the musket and the back pack that those use to have to carry. We picked it up and it was really heavy. So was the back pack. They use to have to carry all that and wear wool uniforms. THey had men passing out all along the march because in hot weather they go so hot they would have heat stroke. That must have been terrible. It was interesting to hear all about that. Kylie picked up the rifle and and they put the back pack on her and told her how she had to hold the musket when you wanted to shoot it. She couldn’t do it was just too heavy. Brook would not do. She is too feminine.
Ron does not hear things right either. It is funny sometimes. The kids and I will laugh and he cannot figure out why.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
They are setting up the appointment at the doctors office. So do not have any idea when the test will be. Just hope that they do it fast. I am so sorry to hear about your sil. That is really hard on her kids. I hope that they pull her thru this. I will be praying here for her. How sad for those kids and you and Gary. With both of them being sick. Are the kids taking over being there with their dad since their mom is sick? I hope that someone is.
That is good that you are that far away from the ocean. It would take a really bad storm to get to where you are. I am praying for all those people in Florida that are affected by this storm. That would be terrible. I am glad that all your friends are safe and are not without a home because of that storm. That is the worse thing about hurricanes and tornadoes they can really make a mess.
That is really good that Gary is feeling better. I think that it is harder on the men then the women when we get sick and have to wait to get better. They expect to be able to go on with their normal life as soon as they get home. I do not know why they think that they have to be superman.lol
Jeanne Bice said that if we can’t lose it decorate it. She was right. If you feel good in those clothes then you should keep wearing them and the heck with everyone else and what they think. You are with a whole group of women that feel that way. We all sparkle and shine no matter what. We love it. Jeanne would be proud of you for wearing all orange.
We do need a Piper story. We have not heard one lately.
Well that is all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
