unfinished ramblings

I really think there are differences in language/meanings/definitions. I finally finished (yipee!) the blue flannel gown/sets, sent off my pix to confirm they were wonderful and...
they weren't. So, just what exactly is a jabot, a high collar, and a ruffle?
No worries, they are going to order again (yipee!)
Helped Kater with a blanket for the upcoming yesterday, I have now taught her the cutest one I know and also the most challenging. Way proud of you Kater!
Hoperdoo decided she liked being "nerdy" and brought home 2 student of the month awards for the month, I don't think I have ever had anyone do that before, new experience and... be just as "nerdy" as you would like Hoperdoo.
The project is rather at a stand still. However, as it is Tuesday Marlo thought she may go up and do the touch up paint. Hiker set the counter tile and cut all of the floor tile. Next time he is home to do something other than sleep...guess what?
I have decided to make my old toilet look new, any suggestions on paint? With the car repairs I am going to need to cut back somewhere on the remodeling. And Marlo informed me everything else in the project was painted, so the door I just varnished needs to be painted too...sometimes I wonder why?
The baby goats have lots and lots of new friends and there is a large pen filled with big chickens in the field now. And more cows next door... I wonder why this is?
Madi informed me there were ___ many days until school got out and Tink informed me there are ___ many days till she goes to the lake. I think Air has it right, Tink needs Brino to set up/take care of a fantastic zipline (way cooler than last time, don't know how), and Brino can't be without his family he will need their help and Brino and Air will need Marlo to watch their children while they are working on the zip line and then Brino will be hungry ...so that means I will need to go as well cuz everyone knows I make the best lake food. And if I go, then Hoperdoo will be home all alone...Need I say more?
Way excited about going to Vegas tomorrow. Going to go to fabric shops!!! and Ross and Target and Marlo informed me I need to sew up what is in my room first, then buy more. So, I am taking all of the "stuff/fabric" out of my sewing room and giving it away. Then I will have lots and lots of room for more cooler fabrics. Started on this project yesterday and hope to finish with some part of it today.

Oh by the way...

If you were wondering what the bathroom aka "the project" looks like here is a pix of its current state. Yes everyone, that is Hoperdoo actually laboring on "the project". No complaints from her and she even cleaned up her mess.

Just for Tink...you wanted to know what the cabinets were looking like here is a pix for you...

And I finally had my camera with me while driving down our road. A pix of the Baby Goats (unfortunately, they aren't so "baby" anymore). But still are cute...

And, this big, old cow was just very unhappy he wasn't the focus of our attention. He was bellowing and snorting and was really letting us know he was important too.

Baby Goatlets

About a month ago
I started watching a grassy, tree shaded field with a couple of goats in it.
One of the goats loved to stand on top of an old wire round in the middle of the field, somehow the round moved around the field quite a bit. I wondered if the goat moved it or if someone else did.
As I was watching the old Billy on his high horse I noticed the other goat was becoming a very pregnant Nanny.
Then, every time I went by the field I was looking for Billy
and wondering if Nanny had hatched yet.
She just got bigger and bigger and bigger.
I was beginning to feel very sorry for her. She was three times as wide, you could honestly put a goat on each side of what she was normally. She was walking as if it was such an effort. If goats waddled, she was waddling. She would waddle around the field like a due any day mother yet,
she still wasn't hatching and she honestly looked like she should "pop".
Whenever I went out I would make it a point to deliberately drive by to check on the goats. She was usually resting under the pecan trees. And man, she still was very pregnant.
About 2 weeks ago (while I was distracted with family) she had the "goatlets" (what Hoperdoo calls them, I know they are kids). This Nanny is a very productive Nanny, she had not one or even two, she had three!!!
A triplet set of goatlets.
The goatlets are snowy white and have the cutest brown floppy ears. They run and jump and hop and bounce all around the field. The goatlets are now walking the "plank" to get to the top of a perch built for them. Just like their parents do!
I have been thinking of a pix for you to see, but they never seem to be in the same place together. However, I will keep trying!
