The Busy Homebody

This is the view from the middle of my driveway, just before you round the big curve at the East pasture gate.

My little castle. Nothing fancy, but I like it, a lot. 

There are some days, I never want to go anywhere, just hang out at home on my 30 acres.

When did I become such a homebody?

I guess I am getting old. Even my horse Scooter doesnt get all excited when he sees the horse trailer getting hitched up….

Since best friend L. bought her place on 40 acres about 10 minutes from here, she never leaves her house either…unless she has too.

Yep, I guess we are both getting old!

This thunderstorm was brewing as Wee One and I were getting out of the pool in the later part of the day.

 

We came indoors and made Rice Krispies Treats for dessert. Then Wee One crashed for his nap.

Bubba, Wee One, and I went to Wal-Mart then onto the grocery store about 10 am. It was already hot but it was not raining.

Big bro Bubba was a huge help with Wee One today. I was thankful he went to town with us. It is hard to believe but school will be starting in 1 month……

After the boys and I finished our errands, I took the boys thru McDonalds Drive thru (since we had groceries) and I ate a BigMac….it was very tastey too.

I swam about 50 laps around the pool with Wee One chasing me, he was making Jaw’s noises.

Maybe that burned off that 548 calorie sandwich!

This week is going to be a very busy one. We have football physicals, preschool shots/check up (he has not been accepted yet), Wee One has some developmental testing (2hrs) with a child development specialist later this week. If the specialist thinks he is behind in any aspect we just may get our foot in the door despite our denial because of our income…well, you saw my house, cant you see how RICH I am?

We also have dentists appoinments, I have a doctor appointment, Bubba has football practice, and I am doing some freelance work (data entry) for a local lawyer. I am needing some money in my bank account.

We also have  Cavalcade going on in our community. The world’s largest amateur rodeo.

People and round up clubs from all parts come for this week long event. Needless to say, Ill be making my appearence to visit with some friends, hang with our round-up club, and maybe watch the wild horse race or the bull riding.

I did not get Scooter’s coggins test done this year so he cannot get onto the fairgrounds. I had it done last year and then never took him up there (wasted money). Cousin L. has 4 of his horses already up at the grounds. He offered me use of one of his, I think Ill take him up on it.

********

Even tho Im busy, Ill be around to see y’all.

Guess it looks like Im not gonna be much of a homebody this week!
