Summer Update

 
My graduation party was a success to say the least.  Friends and family from all over showed up and just made my day!  It was so, so good to see and talk to everybody.  The weather played a huge part in making the party a good one.  (You know it's nice in this part of the country when people actually sit/stand, talk, and play outside.)   

Dad made pulled pork from my very own Minnie and Pearl and there were makings for either sandwiches or tacos, along with all of the sides and sweets.

I had no cap and gown (at my request) and didn't want to be the center of attention; however, because I went to check on some of the 10 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 lizard I was watching, I ended up right smack dab in that spot.  Everybody was gathered to pray and start eating until someone realized I wasn't even in the house.  Needless to say, I had to walk through all of those clapping and cheering people before we would continue on with the evening.

I do believe it was one of the best get-togethers we've had here and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was blessed with money, gifts, and true friendships that continue on with many people of all ages.

Since then, life has been what I could call a whirlwind.  People have been asking me if I plan to go to college this fall and what I plan to do with my life, but in truth, I haven't had time to think about all of that or decide in favor of going to college.  I have been focused on pets nonstop since graduation. 

I housesat for 9 days in July.  Then I had my new record of boardies at one time, which was 18 dogs and a guinea pig.  I've been getting up at 5:40 every morning since the 19th to give a dog her medicine shot and knowing us, haven't gotten to bed until late in the evenings. And I housesat again in August.

Besides that, I've managed to help do a bit of cattle work (like moving, branding, and riding the horses), watch the last few baseball games of the season, and work in the garden.  

I have some post ideas for the near future, so keep checking in!

Have a good one, my blog readers!
