A Good Day at the Farm


Starting off the morning with a cup of coffee and a mastiff's head on your lap. What more can you ask for? The one with his head on my lap is Deacon; the apricot-colored one on the floor to his left is Corin and the one in the back is Keiko-san.


Deacon is almost five years old now. If you look closely you can see his Margaritaville collar we brought him from Florida. Deacon is very special. As a puppy, he's the one who convinced me that dogs were okay after my friend was so badly mauled by the husky when we were in Alaska with them...  One of Deacon's favorite spots is to be under the kitchen table keeping us company when we're cooking --


Today was a successful day for Nephew Jared and his cousins. All three of the boys got their deer this morning. Their fathers weren't as successful, so they'll be out again in the early morning while the young guys sleep in.

Daughter Mary Mae posted the pictures of the costumes for "Witches, the Musical" that Granddaughter Claire will be in starting next Friday in Mount Vernon. Claire plays one of the Puritan girls in the story of the Salem Witch Trials. I still can't quite see how they managed to turn this topic into a musical... I guess we'll have to wait until opening night to find out!


It rained very nicely last night, but the sun was out this morning. It smelled so good as it rained hard enough to get most of the dust out of the air. Forry said they got some rain at the ranch last night, but not nearly as much as we got here.

The fellows went into Walla Walla tonight to find someplace to watch the WSU football game. Sister Sherry has Direct TV, which is not carrying the PAC-12 games this year. Sherry and I stayed home with the dogs and have had a quiet evening reading and listening to the game on the radio,
