What have we done Ranch

Today is Thursday November 30th 2006 it is our 10th wedding Anniversary. Asa was very nice and gave me red roses in an arrangement, a beautiful card and some socks I wanted. I was the slacker. We are going on a trip alone in two weeks so I thought we would celebrate then. I guess I should have got him a card at least for today. Happy Anniversary! Love you! He even came home from work early to surprise us and we were at the movies. What a bummer.

We have been fighting off the flu in our house since Thanksgiving. It has spread to everyone. Today QT wasnt feeling well. She had a fever most of the day. After we picked up AR from preschool we went to the mall and saw Flushed Away. It was cute. AR at the very end started to cry and said is this movie going to have a happy ending? I told her yes and to keep watching. Her favorite movies are Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Cinderella and Sound of Music where there are no really scary or intense moments.

Today I was taking AR to preschool and I stopped by a little grocery mart on the way. I mean litttle. I needed a drink for the class. It was our snack day. I also bought a milkyway chocolate milk. I hadnt tried one of those yet. When I was drinking it I thought there was something not quite right with it. It didnt taste bad but it was chalky and too chocolatey. I just couldnt put my finger on it. Well, after I finished it, I looked at the date. The sell by date was August 06. Yuck. Reading that made me want to puke. I couldnt believe it. Here it is going on December. Yuck.

Speaking of puking, Grandma has the flu stomach virus today and Grandpap has it in Las Vegas. Hope you feel better soon.

The bug Asa and I had at Thanksgiving has spread to AR, QT who was up all last night vomitting. I dont know how many times I got puked on. After three shirts I didnt really care anymore, I was so tired. Grandma Reed woke with it this morning and Grandpap Reed in Las Vegas has it too. I havent heard from my parents or Aunt Midge to see if they have it or not.

Yesterday we went to the Salmon Run Mall in Watertown. AR and I went to see Happy Feet while Grandma and QT walked and shopped. Nothing too eventful happened until the early evening when the puking began.

Tomorrow is our closing. I thought it would never get here. I just cant believe how quickly November came and went. Especially Thanksgiving. Asa was off today. He was up bright and early doing chores around the yard. By 8:00am he had our truck loaded for the dump with stuff he pulled out from the fields. A huge roll of posts wrapped in barbed wire, plastic doors from a vehicle, hoses, all junk that shouldnt be in a field. We started to fence in another area for the goats to feed. This paddock is triple in size and connects to the big milking barn. We expect it to get very cold soon for we have had unusually warm weather. Today was 55 degrees and no breeze. It was beautiful. This evening once the sun started to set we had swarms of bugs in our faces. We arent in too much of a hurry for the cold and icy days come. It makes us a little nervous for we have heard horror stories. Time will tell.





Last night AR puked in the middle of the living room floor. She said she wasnt feeling well and then splat. She was up in the middle of the night once but luckily she made it to the toilet in time. Thankfully she also was feeling a little better today, the puking had stopped but her tummy is still upset. Asa is still getting over what ever it is he had. I am glad mine was gone in 24 hours but I also didnt puke either. I just hope QT doesnt get it.




















My Mom out in the goat pen.


I was thinking about going shopping but after feeling so ill yesterday it was out of the question. I was just glad I woke up feeling better. Asa on the other hand did not. He went to work but was back by noon. Only because his co-workers made him leave. He came home and went straight to bed and stayed there for at least six hours. Woke up and then went back to bed. Today is sat and he is feeling better but still cannot keep food in his stomach. Tonight AR puked all over the rug and wasnt feeling well. We are hoping she has my version of the bug and not Asa's since he still isnt feeling well. My parents and Aunt Midge left today. They all wanted a day to rest before they went back to work.
The picture above is of Asa fixing the steps up to the house.

Thanksgiving Day!


My mom did most of the prep the day before and she took care of the Turkey and stuffing. She even brought us an Oven roasting pan since we dont have a stove. Aunt Midge brought the turkey fresh from her work. She said the turkey was killed and processed the day she left to come to our house. The turkey farm she works at is considered organic and fresh. It was a 17lb turkey. It was really good. Unfortunately before dinner Asa and I got really sick and didnt eat much. Asa ended up throwing up. We both slept the rest of the afternoon. We were Thankful we had people here to look after the kids because we were not feeling well at all. The only other mishap was the apple pie. The shelf slid while I was taking it out of the toaster oven and we lost half of it to the floor. Woody didnt mind. He cleaned it up in no time. I did make another to replace it.

Grandpap Reed deboning the turkey for sandwiches. AR is helping, she did a great job.
