AUGUST 4,TH.... "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA"

WE STARTED OUT TOUCHING UP THE "CAPE BLUE" AND SANDY PAINTS IN THE ROOM WE ARE TURNING INTO A SPECIAL BEDROOM FOR ABIGAIL!  (no, thankfully the cape blue isn't this bright.. more like the color of these words, lol) AND BY SITTING UP THE BED AND GETTING A LITTLE OF IT ALL SET UP.. BUT THEN WE STOPPED TO RUN AND CELEBRATE JENNA'S BIRTHDAY!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA.. SORRY WE WERE RAINED OUT! BUT WE DID GET A FEW GOOD CHUCKLES..

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TWO OF US WERE SITTING THERE AT THE TABLE IN THE BEATING DOWN RAIN WITH A TOWEL OVER OUR HEADS, TRYING TO EAT OUR LUNCH! LOL! WE LOVE YOU! GOTTA SAY, IT WAS ORIGINAL! (*.*)

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"THANKS FOR SHARING THE TOWEL" I DON'T KNOW WHO'S IT WAS BUT IT HELPED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. LOL HA, BOY WEREN'T WE ALL DRENCHED?

================================

WE FINALLY MADE OUR WAY AS "QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BACK UP THAT PATH TO THE VEHICLES"...

EVEN DODGING WATERMELON (*.*) LOL..  THE RAIN WAS BLINDING AND COMING SO HARD THAT IT MADE OUR EYES BURN LIKE FIRE.. BUT WE ALL COULDN'T HELP BUT TO LAUGH THE WHOLE WAY..
==========================
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP OF ALL OF THE OTHERS THAT WERE THERE ALSO.. WE WOULD STILL BE GATHERING THINGS UP..

            ========================================

I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME HOW THAT PATH WAS SOOO MUCH LONGER GETTING BACK UP TO THE TRUCKS THAN IT WAS GOING DOWN TO THE NICE PICNIC SPOT??? IT REALLY WAS A NICE SPOT, AND THE GIRLS ESPECIALLY REALLY ENJOYED THEMSELVES. ANYWAY..

 WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK THERE AGAIN!

       ----------------------------------------

WE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST OF LIFE AND A "HUGE LIFE TREE".. LOTS OF "LOVE", HEALTH, HAPPINESS, SAFETY, HOPES, FULFILLED DREAMS, AND YES, WEALTH! (the way so many depend on you and expect from you  "shame on them!"..., AND THE WAY YOU LIKE TO HELP OUT, so you don't have to turn anyone down or hurt their feelings.. !!!  you'll need WEATLH) lol..

    =======================================

AND WE WISH YOU LOTS OF BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAYS... YEARS, AND YEARS OF THEM (*.*) AND FAMILY ENOUGH TO FILL YOUR HEART TO THE BRIM AND LOVE AND RESPECT FROM EACH OF THEM FOR YOU! YOU DESERVE IT! AND I HOPE YOUR TREE OF LIFE (YOUR FAMILY TREE) WILL BE STRONG, ALWAYS REACHING UPWARDS AND FULL OF WONDERFUL LIFE AND HAPPINESS!

        ===============================================================

ONCE WE GOT HOME, FIRST WE HAD TO GET INTO SOME DRY CLOTHES, THEN WE HAD TO GO OUT AND WORK SOME ON THE OLD RABBIT PEN SO HE COULD GO GET HIS LITTLE BANTAMS.. BOY ARE THEY LITTLE MOST OF THEM ARE SHADES OF BUFF COLORS AND WHITE.. VERY PRETTY... GEE, 22 MORE (it was DARK by the time he got home with them at nearly 9:30).. ANYWAY, THEY ARE TO LITTLE TO GO INTO THE OTHER CHICKEN PEN, AND WITH IT BEING SO MANY OF THEM, HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO MAKE THEM THEIR VERY OWN PEN .. AND WE ALWAYS COVER OUR PENS.. THE COOP PART, AND THE YARD TOO.. GEE, HE LOVES THOSE CHICKENS! PERSONALLY I AM WANTING (and trying to patiently wait for) A COUPLE OF PAIRS OF DOVES OR PIGEONS TO GO INTO THE LARGE CHICKEN PEN.. THEY WOULD HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO FLY AROUND! AND I SURE LOVE HEARING THEM COO ... (so say a prayer for me please that we can find a couple of pairs)

            =======================================
finally we got just a dish of cottage cheese and kicked back with it and a diet soda.. ahhhhh, pooped! THANKS GOD FOR TODAY..  AND FOR ALL THE MEMORIES, BOTH OLD AND NEW! THANK YOU...

AND AGAIN I'LL SAY, SOO SORRY JENNA ABOUT THE RAIN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.. BUT, WE ALL LOVE YOU
