Greetings!

I have not posted since this past February.  Only excuse is that I couldn't figure out how to get in to the blog site after all kinds of changes with my server and Google Apps and stuff I don't understand!
So I can't really tell you how I stumbled in to the site, or if I will be able to do it again!  In the meantime, here are a few pictures.

Hey!  I got lucky and somehow got in to Picasa and got to load pictures!  This lovely one is from our trip to Branson last August!

 

This one is in Branson also.  A restaurant whose specialty is chicken I think!  Which reminds me of a chicken story of my own! 

 

I've been trying for about 4 years to have chickens of some sort.  I started out with 8 baby Guineas, got them full grown, and one by one at first, they started disappearing; then finally there were 3 and they were all taken at the same time, leaving me none!  So some time later I got some little chickens (4) from a neighbor;  waited patiently for them to grow and start laying eggs;  2 of them were killed by neighbor dogs; got 2 more and began the waiting game again!  They finally started laying and one day I left them outside the pen while I went to town and when I came back they were all dead!  My dog Salli decided to teach them a lesson for wandering I guess. End of eggs!!

 

Anyway, I then purchased 3 big white rock chickens and have been waiting for them to start laying.  Went out one morning and one was stretched out on the floor of the coop, deader than a door nail!  So that left me 2 to care for and wait on.  Went out one morning to feed and water them and they started crowing at me!  Yep, the chickens are ROOSTERS!  I could wait forever to get eggs from them!  :)   So what do you think?  Should I stop trying???  I'm ready to throw in the towel and put the 2 roosters in the pot!!

 

I think that's all for today.  I'm so glad I was able to get in here and post something!  I'll try it again in a day or two.  Until next time, take care.............
