Our vacation pics are great I swear . . .

The only problem is I can't find the camera cord.

Grrrrrrr.

On the other hand I/we've been very fortunate of late.
I've had 3 girlfriends give us bags of clothes. I've
been washing and hanging stuff up for 2 days. I've run
out of hangers. This recession turning depression is
starting to make me very noodgie and having extra
stuff to wear is a blessing indeed.

My home refi went through just before we left. The foot
of rain that we got caused my roof to leak, and my ex
got flooded, about 7 feet high. He had to rescue our
daughter's cat and dog by canoe. The critters came to
stay with me and I got the cat neutered yesterday.

The winter supply of hay arrived yesterday. I got it
for about 1/3rd the price of the prior supplier. I had
the farrier out last week to give my mares a much needed
trim. I wormed the hounds and as long as everyone is
fed separately, they seem to be getting along at the
moment.

I called a gf's bf, and he gave me an excellent quote
on some "deffered maintenance". He's going to start next
week. His work is great and he took the time to explain
why things like eaves and posts rot and how he can
fix them. I got a one year loan to fix my roof. I'm
hoping to have all the repairs done in the next 5-6
weeks.

Special shout out to Jock of ye olde forum for fixing
my borrowed laptop for me. He worked tirelessly. I'm
so thankful.

Left to be done:

The BUDGET.

Get the propane tank filled.

Loose 5 pounds.

Next up . . being brutal with food storage.
