Going to be great Thanksgiving!!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving...Jeff is coming home!!! He gets here Tuesday and has to leave Sunday!! We actually get to see each other for more than a few hours at a time!! Yippee!!

He might get to come home for Christmas, but I will believe that when I see it!!
Things here have been great. We have been very busy at the bakery with holiday orders and such. Its always a busy time of the year for restaurants.

Our little farm is doing great! Okay, so its not really a "farm, " But hey...we live outside the city and I have to buy chicken feed and I have to "harvest" crops form our garden....so I feel ok in calling a little farm!! Both of our hens are producing eggs now. We actually get more than we can eat, so I give a few away every now and then.

Chubby Checker is still silent..maybe I got mute rooster?





Isabella is now our newest egg producer...she is a little "Miss Priss!"






Ruby is our alpha hen...heck she is the alpha period!!






Boodro is our smallest dog...and the cutest. I found him Louisiana, on Valentine's Day, on a little dirt road about three years ago. He had an old injury to his front right leg when I found him, so he can look quite pitiful! I think he has learned to milk his disability!!


Dottie is the oldest, 11. She can be quite moody at times, but hey, can't we all? I have had her since a puppy, she's my girl. She is definitely a country dog...she also thinks she is a lap dog. She mostly stands there and drools over the chickens!


Cooper is the youngest and gets in the most trouble. He is so darn cute its hard to get mad at him. He is just in his puppy phase....hopefully!





The idea of Jeff going away for so long isn't as horrific as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, its still hard to think about him being on the other side of the world in such a dangerous place. But I guess the mind just learns to accept certain things. If not, you couldn't cope with half the stuff that happens in your life. I'm just concentrating on what I have to do here. Day by day, week by week. It will be over before we know it!!
