Just found out that English Country Dance is being offered nearby.
Number one son has been playing Pirates! His favorite part of the game, aside from the swashbuckling, is the dancing. Quite the gentleman pirate, he is!
And, of course, daughter number one would *love* it! The grace, the dresses, and to be be among friends! Wheeeeee!
I bet even the almost 4 year old would get a kick out of it!!
So, here's hoping they have another round of practices for us to join in!

New Music
Hey there! Well, little bit's test came back normal. Shocking... can't figure it out. Oh well, thank God!
I heard a song on the radio today that I really like, so I'm sharing. I was pleasantly surprised to find two others I really like by the same artist (rare for me!)
The man is Rodney Atkins. The music is country. Turn the sound off, because for some reason, the most annoying ad in the world head these pages. The songs are Watching You, Angel's Hands, and Cleaning This Gun (Come on in Boy).
Reading the lyrics doesn't really do justice to the songs, so if you enjoy the words, download and hear the stories sung.
Cleaning This Gun just rocks... I'm actually looking forward to those days LOL We have it all figgered out (HEH!) The boys will get to come to Target Practice Saturdays. Wait til they getta load of my 3 guys. By then it'll be 4, won't it?!
The girls will have tea with B, D, and I, appropriate attire, appreciation for beauty, and ability to engage in polite (but not contrived) conversation expected.
Anyway, just sharin'
Have a good one!

Unbelievable
So, the youngest son is still having tummy trouble, which has gotten progressively WORSE despite all the TLC Mommy, yogurt, and 10 lbs of bananas can provide. Yesterday afternoon, I took him to the doctor, and the doctor said,
"We're going to test for salmonella."
See Mommy.
See Mommy's jaw drop.
Somebody pick Mommy up.
Uhhhhhhhh Huh.
No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm taking my meds. No, we hadn't heard about the 18 state tomato salmonella outbreak until 11 am today.
The results of said test take 3-4 days. He's on antibiotics, Thank God! Pray for my little guy... it's been a rough, clingy, need my mama NOW 2 weeks.

Back to farming
The cooler weather has helped me get back into setting things in place around the farm.
Wednesday, I carved out next year's gardens by mowing about 1/4 acres. It's so cool! Whacking 2 foot tall grass actually helps me visualize where things will be placed.
Figuring the ground would never be wetter than now, I set 20 or so t-posts yesterday, completing the front pasture's skeleton.
The big kids and I then dug holes for apple and peach trees.
Today was *very* windy, so I kept the little ones (and myself!) inside.

Mea Culpa
Well, it sounds like a lot of folks came down with a horrid tummy bug shortly after the annual shindig.
I am so, so, soooooo s*o*r*r*y.
Even my Mom caught it!
What she has, and others are describing, is downright ungodly, and I might add, a heckuva lot worse than what my family went through last week.
However, I came down with the milder bug (eek!) Saturday night at midnight, and B came down with the milder bug (double eek!) Sunday.
So I am left to wonder... is it our fault the area's community colleges and businesses are lacking their brightest talent this week?
Egads, I pray it isn't so, but could be.
If so, I would like to humbly submit that I am überconscientious about spreading disease. We *were* illness free for 48 hours before the party, because if there's one thing I *hate*, it's when people share sickness.
And so, I also humbly submit: I coulda goofed, and a lot of people seem to be suffering badly, so mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, dear friends.
