It's so friggin' hot here. Still. And more triple digits predicted for next week. We need rain SO bad! Our lawn and the pasture is so dead and dry that even Gus, our Cocker Spaniel, leaves a little cloud of dust behind him when he trots across the pasture! You should see the cloud of dust the horses raise!!
In this shot, you can see how badly poor Gus needs a hair cut, and I took this a couple weeks ago, so you can imagine his hairy curly self now. Also alot less green on the ground than that now, as well.
He does get to go to the groomers tomorrow, now that I can get out and about, so he'll be all sleek and fast and COOLER!
I'm happy to say that my hip is feeling great, most of the time. It even feels normal. Sure wish I could act and move like it's normal. sigh..... It's really hard to keep myself from just 'doing things' when it feels normal. But I'm not all healed yet and it's not ready to have me do all this normal stuff like bending or sitting comfortably or dancing thru the living room to the Boondock Saints theme song. Sucks, I tell ya'! But I try to stay focused and I improvise a LOT. I just wish I had longer toes so it would be easier to pick up stuff that I drop. hee hee
We've got 2 birthdays coming up this week. My 2 baby boys, Tim and Xander! Tim will be 11 on the 3rd and Xander will be 6 on the 5th!
Here's a great shot Terri got of them yesterday with a couple of Storm Troopers at AlaskaLand. Pretty awesome huh?
So funny....Terri said to Xander "they look pretty scary....what if Darth Vader is near by". Xander replied, "Mom, they're just guys in suits." He's just so damn logical all the time, I told her she mayhaps should have named him "Spock". LOL
Oh, yeah....an update on our toilet disaster the other day......they are fixed and all is well, however we now need to replace the ceiling in the Living Room. I am so thankful I am married to a Contractor that has spent his whole life doing such things! I figure it will only take him 2 or 3 years to get around to it. :-p
The rest of us will envy you your own personal contractor ;)
