Looney_Tunes Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 she will NEVER get rid of us THAT easy!! I think it's the other way around. You keep moving, but I keep finding you. Sorry, HD! Maybe Ash can just rent barn space from you while I'm waiting for my millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Sounds like fun! The barn is BEAUTIFUL!! And big, too!! And the style matches my chicken coop. It is just meant to be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney_Tunes Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 And here I was planning to escape the lake effect snow this winter by visiting you. Sigh. As long as you're going where God wants you, we'll make it work. I will admit that it will be wonderful having you closer, and who knows what we're gonna end up doing? Besides, we've never let a pesky little thing like geography stop us yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Amen, sister!! Besides, I will have a fireplace and the coffee will always be on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryJane Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Now, I'm getting excited! I'd like to see a picture of that big beautiful barn and matching chicken coop! Not many real estate ads can boast something like that! Is the deal is signed and sealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Actually the barn matches the chicken coop that we already have! (I designed it and Steve built it for me.) It is a "raised center stall barn" or a "monitor barn" (I believe that is what it is called). It is beautiful and almost new!! There is almost NOTHING we would change about the place!! We would need to over-seed the pastures, as they are kinda sparse, but that would not be a problem simce we only have a couple of horses, and there is enough room to rotate pastures. The place even has an electric (in-ground) fence for the dogs (which we have now and they are all trained on)!! Well, we would need to paint... (that's okay, I love to paint!)... the room that would be our son's room is purple! But we can fix that! I will post pics once we know that it is "ours" for sure. I have been "counting my chickens before they hatch a lot lately, and it has not been working out so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Actually the barn matches the chicken coop that we already have! (I designed it and Steve built it for me.) That's right! I remember now. You could call "counting your chickens before they hatch" -- being prepared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeyore Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 You could call "counting your chickens before they hatch" -- being prepared! True, true... I am NOT superstitious! So, I guess I am just being silly. Thanks for that encouragement!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney_Tunes Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I am at Eeyore's helping her pack. They have an agreement to buy the house she found - all that's left is to sign the paperwork. Ashley saw our doc yesterday because she's been throwing up for almost a week. The doc is a bit concerned because it's gone on for so long and she's having NO abdominal pain - you'd expect cramps with viral or bacterial causes. She's taking meds for nausea and reflux over the weekend with instructions to try to eat, but if she's not feeling better by Monday then the doc wants her to have some blood work and a CT of her head. Ashley's a little freaked out - she is NEVER sick, and it's not clear what's wrong with her. The anti-nausea med is helping, but it's only lasting her about six hours instead of the eight it's supposed to, and she said she can tell it's only masking the symptoms. I have a feeling we'll be having that CT done on Monday, so prayer would be appreciated. Just in case we didn't have enough going on, the baby horse got a hoof abcess (she's better now) and the dog got stung in the mouth by a carpenter bee (she's better too). It's always something.

Looney_Tunes Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I totally forgot to mention that one of the men from church took Brandon and Jesse to the mens retreat this weekend. Apparently the men were being encouraged to bring a high school aged boy with them. Dan only has a daughter, so he asked if he could take both boys. The church paid the $65 fee for both of them. They had a great time. It's held at a local "ranch" that's run by Christians - they rent the place out for retreats and such. They have horses, archery, shooting, etc. The boys talked a lot about who spoke and what each person had to say, so I know they got a lot out of it besides just fun and food (although I hear there was a lot of that too!). They both want to go back next year. I'm so grateful to God for sending us strong Christian men who are willing to spend time with my children.

Looney_Tunes Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ashley had her CT and blood work yesterday. She was feeling better for a couple of days, but then it all came back again. I peeked over the rad tech's shoulder and didn't see anything on the CT that raised my eyebrows, but that's not my area of expertise so I easily could have missed something. We haven't heard anything yet, and in these cases no news is good news. If all the tests are normal I imagine our doc will send her to GI. And no, she's not pregnant, just to make that clear. I'm feeling a little better since my doc went up on my meds, but I'm still having nights where sleep just doesn't happen, and then I can pretty much guarantee a dizzy migraine the next day. Lack of sleep seems to be the biggest trigger. In general, though, I'm not feeling too bad. I came over to Eeyore's to help celebrate her birthday - ice cream cake and a movie. It's fun to just hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends, family, the Body of Christ! Where would we be without them? It's really nice that you two belong in all three categories, even if genetics isn't involved!

Looney_Tunes Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I saw that! At first I thought you should've had a "don't be like 1SM" contest, but then I realized that if a guy did anything, he'd win! You'd be giving out an awful lot of t-shirts.

Like responsibility, power, I AM, In HIM.... Good point! I'm glad things are going well. Tell B. I said hi and kiss the dogs for me (please don't get that backwards! ). I'm at HD and Eeyore's along with my youngest two, helping them pack. Well, at least Brandon and I are - Jesse is sick. Another random fever. Sigh. We'll be here at least till the weekend, since my older kids took the van back with them. I am once again at Eeyore's mercy until she takes me back or someone comes to get me. Now if only my head would quit spinning today. It's getting annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
