Best buddies

Sarah sent me this snapshot of the toot and Diesel...he probably weighs more than her. Sarah said Lorelei was on a mission today...for one thing she had all her books out. I ask Sarah if she 'read' them or just tossed them over her shoulder...she actually will sit and look at the books and tell her own little story as she turns the pages. We just cannot tell what she says. She sure gets intent when she reads though.

But today Sarah said she would read part of them then toss them over her shoulder. Others, she just pulled out and tossed.

The other day Sarah was either putting Lorelei's outside toys in the garage, or was getting them out. She went in and turned around to come back out and there was Otto standing looking towards her and Lorelei was standing at his back end beating on him like he was a drum, both just happy as a lark.

Hard work

Every where we went, we seen the familiar scene of hay bales and men hard at work. It is one hot and sweaty job, if you don't believe me ask my brother Neal. I would like to know how many bales of hay he and my other brothers handled in their lifetime. It would be way up in the thousands. They traded their muscle power for the use of of equipment....most of the time with either of one or two friends/neighbors.

I am having major issues with blogger/commenting. There are three comments that I have checked to publish, blogger says they are published, and they will be there for just a short while, only for me to go back in just a bit and they are not longer there. I go back to comment moderation, and there they are again. I have went through this over and over, I don't know how many times. I don't know if it is cause I have the moderation on without word verification, or what. And there is a comment from George....I got the notice in my email, but it does not show at all in comment moderation section as waiting to be moderated. I get an error code with it. I have filed a report, but still no help. So, I once again changed my settings...comment moderation is still on, but only on older posts. So, if spam appears, I will eventually see it and remove it.

Just in time for the 4th of July

We were getting ready to go to Sarah's yesterday afternoon, and I happened to walk out to the garden. It is such a jungle that I have not been keeping close tabs on anything. But even in walking out there, I saw all these little cherry tomatoes just waiting for me to come get them. They were emmm-mmmm good!
I just had to show these of Lorelei and her daddy....they spent the night in Indianapolis Thursday night, and we stayed with Lorelei at their house. She was perfectly fine with us...had not been upset at all when it was just us there...
but I happened to see them when they got back and held the curtain back for Lorelei to see them walking in. Oh, the excitement! Mama....mama....DA-DA! Oh, was that girl every happy to see them.

Then our other daughter came home this weekend...and she spent a lot of time there. Yesterday eve when R. was leaving, Lorelei almost started crying...she loves her auntie.

Roger also makes this cheesecake pie...it is real simple. An 8 oz thing of creme cheese softened, a big bowl of cool whip, a big spoonful of sour cream, a tablespoon or so of real lemon flavoring, and some splenda...whip together and have a graham crust ready. Lorelei really loved that! Any of us that she seen eating it, she had to share.

Some of you may have noticed that I turned off word verification...I also had turned off the moderation. Well, I have only had that all turned off a week or two, and already got spam. So, I am going back to moderating the comments, though I did not turn on the word verification. Just wanted you to know that your comment won't publish until I have had a chance to view it.
