More Scott Time!
Scott was here, again, Saturday and Sunday.
Yep, this was definitely worth all the watering, weeding and
We played games and watched a few movies,
but a whole lot of time was spent on pumpkin carving.
It all took a lot of focus and concentration.
I was even able to get a few pictures without them even noticing.
I'm not sure if Rickey was bored or amused by it all.
Tyler, David said you would know what this is.
There was a Subaru logo,
the monster from Where the Wild Things are,
Spider-man, Captain America,
and even the old standby Jack o lantern.
space in the garden to grow these things.

No, God Did Not Send Us a Goat!
Updated below
Update: Her owner finally thought to call the Humane Society and got our number. She is now safely back home where she belongs :)
I'll have to admit that this was a pleasant change from waking up to another dead (murdered) animal or vegetable.
This is what we found eating kale in the garden this morning
No girls, I really don't think that God sent us a goat. We don't need a goat. Yes He sometimes sends us things that we don't even know we need. Yes, He does work in mysterious ways.
But sometimes people are just careless about latching their goat pen, and the goats stroll off into the woods until they find a garden with some Kale still growing it. Sorry, girls.
So, hopefully her owner will call the Humane Society or the Animal Rescue place to get our number. Both places were clear that they were not set up for goats so neither place will take her. I was also told to call the animal dispatch person, but he is out of his office until Monday. So, hopefully somebody will miss her soon!

Grandma and Patty's Visit
Last weekend Grandma and Patty (who just passed the Bar and we are very proud of) came for a visit.
We always have fun with them and this visit was no exception. We did miss Trisha and Mia (well I can't say that Rickey missed Mia), but we did have a great time!
The girls said,
"Why have just a cup of tea when we could have a whole tea party?"
So they got out recipes, went to the store and got to work!
And then we figured, "Why have only one grandma when we could have two?"
And, of course Mandy figured, "Why pour cream out of a regular pitcher when we could have it come straight from the month of a porcelain cow?"
A wonderful time was had by all!
There were some who were not invited to the tea party because they are sadly lacking in tea party manners,
but there were a few leftovers.
They did have to share the leftovers with the girls, though.
After a rousing round of Killer Bunnies...
Qwerkle was next. We figured, "Why use only one box of Qwerkle tiles when we could use two?"
Then Mandy and Patty thought, "why play 10 Days in one continent when you
can play 40 days in 4 continents?"
What do you mean I can't sit here?
We can't wait to get together again soon!
