3 Prayers

Well today is a crazy day doctor wise for our family. First my Grandma is in surgery this morning as I'm writing this. She should be out soon but please just pray for her recovery and good results.
Second thing today is that I believe my Papa is going in for some kind of scan at a neurologist office. He has been having spells when he just kind of passes out and doesn't remember anything and they have been getting worse so they are trying to figure out what is causing that and if there is anything they can do to fix it.
Third, Maddy has an endocrinologist appointment today. This is a follow up but they do want bloodwork and that has turned out to be a nightmare so far. They called Monday night wanting us to go get it for the appointment. So we tried at the location here in Carrollton and it was not successful. Maddy is really hard to get because she is a baby and because her condition makes it hard as well. The girl working at the lab had no business sticking anyone with a needle who wasn't a run of the mill type patient. Plus she was completely unprofessional and rude and the place was not clean. I really should have listened to my gut and left but I didn't. She was wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants. That did not inspire a lot of confidence either. Anyhow, Maddy was very upset after all that yesterday and it was so frustrating because we had nothing to show from all the abuse she went through with that lady. Big lesson for me is to just walk out if I don't have the feeling that the person working is good or cares about what they do. I don't know if they will attempt today to try to get that bloodwork again. I imagine her arms won't be healed enough but I don't know.
Anyway, a few little prayers for all that today would be much appreciated, especially for my Grandma to do well.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
