Amazing Fact

Today (10-28) is my oldest daughter's 38th birthday (the one that lives in Honduras). Here's the amazing fact. All three of my girls had the exact same "due date" of Sept. 28th. Valerie was one month late, Laura 2 weeks early (9-12), Emily two weeks late (10-10).
I'm still trying to figure out what was so special about the 9 months to the day prior to 9-28! Christmas school vacation?

There was frost on the pears this morning. I put out a road stand for free pears 5 days ago, but from what I can tell, nobody has taken up my offer. What, nobody likes pears? I try to use them in everything. Yesterday, I made a yellow cake with pears and rhubarb and black walnuts mixed in. Really good!

And I see I have a family of little "ground" squirrels running around picking up my walnuts. My garage rafters might collapsa from the weight of their stolen goodies. As long as they have a nut source, they won't venture into my trap.

I babysat my grandson all day yesterday, here at my house. I'm glad I kept all my kid's toys for him to play with. He's a great little boy--never gets into anything, or whines, or fusses. He turned 2, two weeks ago. I bought him some plastic golf clubs and a Vermont t-shirt (a cow driving a tractor pictured).

I've been doing a lot of "running around" meeting with people regarding my kids building on the family farm: Area Planning Commission, zoning board, financial planner, etc. Why can't they make things simple? Hoops, hoops, and more hoops. But, we're making progress.

Too cold to play golf, so I think I'll go for a jog later. And I still have lots of wood to split. I stayed up past my bedtime last night to watch the W.S., but I finally gave up. Game 7 tonight. I'll try to watch to the bitter end--not that I really care. But next to the Cubs, I like the Cards.
Have a good weekend!

I have a squirrel in my backyard whose mission in life is to run across my porch screens for no other reason than to taunt my dogs. It is so deliberate! He runs back and forth on the outside while the dogs chase back and forth on the inside barking up a storm!

There is a method to their madness, I'm sure! Funny.

Nice that you have a good time with your grandson. As for the W.S., am happy that Texas lost because it's one less thing Perry can take credit for. Only yesterday did I know they were in it (avoiding sports news here) and I didn't even know they were playing the Cards.

Just acknowledging your comment. Hope you're feeling better. I'm posting a review of a book Ed might like.

So you decided to loan them the money to get started?
comment by elderjane on Oct 29, 2011 4:45 AM ()
NO. At least no decisions have been made regarding money. I'm "on hold".

Stop picking on the rats--ooops! I mean squirrels--I have a family of them in the backyard who come around for their snack everyday about 6 PM--maybe I ought to send them to you--nope. They probably won't be able to take the cold weather!

Rats is right! They resemble them. Very furtive. Actually, I was thinking it might be a good excuse to come and visit you--bringing my little family of "rats" along!

Golf clubs - perfect gift from Grandad Golfer. Do I remember the family (and maybe some of us) getting on your case for not buying him birthday gifts when he was one? Looking at it now, I think it made sense to wait until he was old enough to know the gifts were from you and the two of you can play with them.

That's correct. Good memory. And I'm determined to make a golfer out of him. I failed with my own son. Tennis was his sport.

I think the magic of that date has to do with New Years Eve.
I totally hear ya on zoning and planning and BLECK - the counties need something to do now, don't they?

I think my county opposes "urban sprawl", esp. if it takes up valuable farm land which my county is famous for. For such a conservative area, I'm surprised this ever got started.
