Today is Gariann's birthday, and I can only say that she's not as old as me...YET!
Aaron, Gariann's grandson, is growing and as impossible as it seems, he is cuter every time we see him.
Saturday, we enjoyed good food and fun at Tom and Linda's. We took Zach and Wyatt along, and they really enjoyed getting to know their relatives. They especially enjoyed Jace and MyKelti, Tom and Linda's grandkids. They played in the pool in spite of the cold, rainy weather. The rest of us sat poolside, all bundled up, watching them.
Our little goat family is also growing. The are an endless source of entertainment. The boys love caring for them and playing with them. They're so cute, we're going to have trouble when it comes time to get rid of some. However, we will have to downsize! Here's a picture of Barney and all the kids. From left: Brownie, Tuff, Dolly, Fluffy, Barney, Pinky, and Nanny.
That's the highlights of the past month, with the exception of Dennis' knee surgery. He had the knee replaced on June 20. It's going alright, we think. I think he's doing way too much, but can't keep him down. Today, he's mowing hay. It does need put up, but I think he's taking a big risk of an injury, which would be another set back! While he's unable to drive the truck, Travis and I are taking care of the grave digging. In addition, Dennis has several people needing rock, so I've been hauling a little rock too. I have been staying fairly busy, and the summer is passing way too fast! I can't believe that it's already the middle of July! Here's the "patient" while he was still at the hospital. Let me tell you, he was not there long! He had the surgery on Thursday, and I brought him home on Monday. He says the knee replacement would have been a breeze had they not torn the patella's tendon. That was a really big setback. He is supposed to keep the leg straight, and not use the muscle until that tendon is well healed. Anyway, that catches me up on blogging!

Hi ya'll,
WOW! What a long incision. Susie, it doesn't sound like you've had a very relaxing summer. Before you know it you'll be behind the wheel again with school starting just around the corner. When do you start back?
The goats are precious.
Dennis take care and don't over do it. :-)
Have you been reading any of the scoop on Jane Babcock leaving Keokuk. Go to the Daily Gate City web site and catch up with all the scoop. She's taking a beating and now they have started on Mike Niece the athletic director.
Gariann's grandbaby is a real cutey! Looks like he is really growing since the first pictures. I work with a woman that is just back to work after being off 3 1/2 months with the knee replacement. Her incision is big but not as big as Dennis'. She too had to have tendons repaired. I told my doctor on the last appointment that I absolutely do NOT want a knee replacement. He is doing everything he can to keep me from it. Looks like I'm headed for the arthoscopic surgery. He said the next appointment will be "make or break". Becareful Dennis not to tear anything else. You have to be very careful until you are fully healed.
HOLY TOLEDO..................That incision is HUGE!!!!!!! Oh wait - you probably knew that already! Wow....I've never seen a knee scar that long before. Hope they repaired it right! You better be taking it easy Mr......or you'll be back in there repairing the damage you're going to create. That's my orders! BOYYY
The baby is sure growing and he's cute. And your herd....my oh my.
Yeah but, chicks dig scars!!!!!
Dennis
