Week's tid bits

So, this is why I don't post often: Lots of nothing new or same old same old. I have made it down to the barn and fed the horses twice. Dad is afraid I may fall and break my leg. I use the walker when I go on uneven ground.
Cali isn't talking to me. She is angry that I have been ignoring them.
Saturday I went with some friends to buy hay from the growers. Kate and Jim had a truck and trailer and the dealer loaded the hay. I'll have one of the local guys unload it here at the barn. We were almost home, turning onto the Florence Highway from Park Links Road. A fer piece north of Catalina. Jim mumbled something about losing 1/2 the load. I didn't feel anything but there they were strewn all over the road. Sigh. Dad would have killed me if I tried to move the bales. Kate had a bad hip and Jim recently had back surgery. Fortunately, people not only slowed down, but several stopped to help get the hay off the road. Poor Jim had to get the hay up on the trailer, then stack it 3 high. He went into superhuman mode and got the job done. By the time he was heading to his house you could see his "super juice" had worn off. I hope he healed up ok. I went home and slept for 3 hours. Big trip for me.
Dad has been on the committee [or maybe in charge of food and decorations] for a Scout fundraiser that will be this week. He is really busy.
We always look forward to Skype or phone visits with the fam. The babies grow up so fast! Love to the fam!

was that last bit a "hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge?"
