Big Fat CONGRATS to KAYLA!!! Very exciting!!! Kayla was looking confident and beautiful!!! I\'m really looking forward to Baking Friday this week and I know the RESIDENT BEST EGG CRACKERS WILL BE UP FOR THE JOB!!!
Long day on the farm but so much has been accomplished! This project has really whipped our butts and I think we\'re both glad it\'s done... The pupz are settling into new routines and I took down our temporary screen door as we won\'t need it now! YEAH! It\'s one of those Magic Mesh screens which work well for just people, but not so much for Rotties as Dumpy wrecked that thing... Glad that eye sore is GONE...
Long day, planting et al and I think I\'m going to lay down a bit. Definitely going to bed early tonight!!!
Love to you and Mom and Dad and THE GRADUATE!!! and everybody in CT! Have a relaxing evening as I know we\'ll be doing,.. xoxoxo Cj
