I have always been in awe of my sister Sherry. She's a year and one-half older than I am and was a year ahead of me in school. Many years later, with us both in our seventies, she is still awesome. We literally dropped in on her Thursday afternoon and spent the day with her yesterday.
Sherry loves animals, especially her dogs. She currently has three of the large, slobbery, lovable mastiffs living with her. Corrine is my favorite apricot color, Lady Bug is a dark brindle and Keiko San is the traditional fawn color. This hot weather is very hard on the big dogs. It got to 105 on our thermometer, though it may have been hotter as our thermometer is in the shade of the awning.
The girls are quieter, knowing enough to lie down in the shade, but Keiko still wants to play. He brings his bowling balls over and does his best to coax you to play soccer with him. He will go stand in one of the low horse troughs full of water to cool off a bit, then he's ready to go again.
We didn't see much of the horses (many of them rescues) this trip. They were hanging out under any of the shady places they could find in the valley. The peafowl, who are in the annual process of losing their tail feathers, definitely made their presence known with their cries of "help!"
We only had a day to spare as we are supposed to be in Junction City, Oregon on Monday morning. But, sometimes phone calls aren't quite enough and you've just got to stop in and get a hug!
