Adoption

We've decided to adopt. I know, hard to believe after all these years. We just decided it was a good time, with both kids married and out of the house. Would you like to see a picture? She was adopted on May 27, 2009.

Come on, did you really think WE would adopt after enjoying the house to ourselves? Gotcha!!!! John was finally able to get a 'newer' truck after almost 30 years. He is so excited. The bigger the boy the bigger the toy. Took the kids to lunch in it yesterday. John Jr. swears that I was hit on the hid or had a stroke. Sarah just shakes her head and laughs. She thought we were getting a 'small' truck. John just told them that I fell out of that new high bed and hit my head. The color is called 'stone'. Depending on how the light is shining and where you stand, it should be a brown color, but, could be gray, black, green and last night Annie and I thought deep purple. Call it what you want. Had to have something big enough to pull that camper that Layne convinced me is a good idea for emergency preparedness. Sorry Layne, but I have to have one with a bathroom!

The garden is loving the warm weather and the nice soaking of rain it has been getting every day. The rain hasn't been hard enough to drown the stuff, just perfect actually. We could use some of that everyday for a while. It is still dry. These are the cucumbers that are on the front porch, they have been growing faster than anything.

Can't wait to enjoy the fruits of our labors. The other seeds that were planted popped up overnight and are really doing well.
