I'll start with last week...Monday G-pa had a very bad nose bleed but he didn't want to go into the clinic, because he was afraid that they would send him to the hospital in the The Big City like last time he had a bad nose bleed which they couldn't get stopped. Soooo his nose probably bled for about 3 or 4 hours before he finally decided to let us take him in. And that wasn't good as his hemoglobin levels were already rather low. I helped him change into a clean shirt, and loaded him up into The General, as I call it, (the wheel chair van...there is a story behind that...but no time now...) and then unloaded him again at the clinic and hauled him inside. The wheelchair accessibility to that building is really not very good, there is a ramp, but getting through those two doors is quite a hassle... So the Doc. packed his nose and said he wanted to see him again in three days.
On Tuesday Mom, Grandpa and I headed for The Big City to pick Grandma up from The Big Airport as she had flown back up here from The Other State. Okay...back up...that probably didn't make any sense...you see...G-ma had gone down to The Other State with Daddy so that she could go to her favorite dentist and get her drivers license renewed, then she flew back here and Daddy remained there with his dad. Then The Sisters headed up here, stopping to be part of a reenactment on the way. At any rate...we picked G-ma up from The Big Airport...and it is big! It has been ever so many ages since I had been to an airport...and I didn't really get to see much of this one...but that didn't bother me...I really think that I would freak out if I got stuck in an airport...I hate crowds!! So after picking G-ma up we made the long drive home. We stopped and ate dinner at a Bob Evans, I really like their Cob Salads, That is almost always what I order when we go there : ) So by Tuesday I was already feeling like it had been a very long week....and....I can't really recall much of the rest of the week...except that we returned Thursday to the clinic to have G-pa nose unpacked. And also that our Friday market was canceled for pending rain which didn't happened.
This Monday The Sisters arrived for their visit. YAY!! Looking forward to several more weeks with them : )
I don't remember all that happened Tuesday, but I do remember rolling up about 11 irrigation hoses from the now pretty much finished garden...and being hot while I was doing it :) Oh yes, and I moved the chicken coops too.
Yesterday afternoon after feeding the chickens and gathering eggs (we only got three!! ) I pulled up all the old rusty flags from the very sad looking rhubarb patch...but before I got finished I had to go in and change out of my skirt into a pair of jeans because some very annoying little buggies that live in high grass were nibbling on my legs and making them itch!! And they are still itching...
I busily zipped around in the go buggy :) (It was fun Daddy, I like your toy, and I think I've finally learned how to drive it correctly, it has shifted fine for me the whole time, once I learned the "feel" of it ;) )
I used the buggy to help Mom pull a big piece of wood over to the fire pit where she was burning pieces of the old rotten corn crib that Uncle D. pulled down with his truck several years ago...Racheal was mowing till until mower broke...and by that time it was nearing time to knock off for the day anyhow...We stopped by to see the grandparents and then proceeded on to the house to bathe and eat dinner, more then one of us were a little blank from hunger...
So, today is market prep day, and after lunch, I shall get busy making a few grain free baked goods to take to market tomorrow.
So until next time my dear readers,
Have a Jolly day!!
Au Revoir!!
