I love reading about your days. I also have autoimmune issues and there are days I can't get going at all. I appreciate what you go thru to get things done. God bless.

I spent a few hours clearing and pruning a hillside yesterday and I could hardly move last night. It was time for Advil and Aspercream. <br />You inspire me to keep at it.

I know Sushi made her pretty sore on a couple of dangleys. That's great, I didn't know you guys had no dishwasher. We didn't have one either until I broke my shoulder and Randy had to start doing dishes! I'm thinking the people 'pets' in your family make over both of you enough when they've missed you to save either dog the job of having to do so. You guys are such a gift!peteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842363901612535790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450899713878614950.post-33875420152407833822013-01-29T17:06:50.807-08:002013-01-29T17:06:50.807-08:00now how am i supposed to keep both blogs from melt...now how am i supposed to keep both blogs from melting together. ur milk cow experience brings to mind many of my own misadventures with ranch animals. I could laugh soon aftr but my parents didn't have that luxury since they worried about other issues an accident could cause. dang it was on the day u were starting to feel better too. double dang! We still hand-milk cos it's a chore for us but some day when the last kid is gone i can see my dad getting a milker and a dishwasher. love ur blog...and kip gets like that when i'm gone for awhile and makes a fuss over dev too. kuma could care less about devon. blessings...dan-el Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450899713878614950.post-66996555954877122332013-01-28T13:59:50.512-08:002013-01-28T13:59:50.512-08:00All the critters are acting suspicious, like I mig...All the critters are acting suspicious, like I might bolt and leave them again.

I can only imagine how "beat up" you felt the next day and the flare didn't help any.<br />The dogs are probably afraid to let you out of their sight in case you go away again.<br />We absolutely LOVE Duck Dynasty, those folks are a hoot but they sure have some good family ties, which is refreshing to see these days.Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450899713878614950.post-68264873091791096042013-01-28T03:36:10.829-08:002013-01-28T03:36:10.829-08:00Well, sounds like a amazingly full day to me.

Hope your bruises heal quickly : ) . The jump gate is a new concept to me. Is it for the dogs use to go in and out of the pasture? I am having a hard time picturing Emmalou poledancing....but never mind. I love home made pizza too, and am glad to say that after 34 years of attempts I have finally arrived at a method that is delicious. I can only imagine what it must be like with your own mozzarella on top. It's almost worth thinking about getting a cow.<br /><br />I will be following your new blog also.

Sorry Emma Lou was not better behaved! Did not like hearing the adventure was followed with a BAD day. I end to feel sorry for myself with bad feet and assorted pains. I can hardly imagine what you feel. And am amazed by the strentgh and detirmination you have. I have a co-worker with Fibro Myalgia and a friend with Lupus. Both are amazing. I will check out your other blog, too. Hang in there. <br />Sweet Bruno must be able to sense your discomfort and want to protect you. Love that dog. Big Hugs...for Bruno and all. <br />(And as usual your discriptive writting had me in giggles, even though I am sure it was NOT funny at the time.)
