Great Grandpa


I stole this photo from Aunt Carol's blog. I just thought it was cool. My Great-Grandfather was admitted to the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame. Is that not cool?

Vet Day

Today was Vet day for June. She wasn't too thrilled with it, but is doing good. She got her vaccinations and a good looking over. She weighs 11lbs 4 ounces. The vet in KS never weighed her, so when the new vet asked questions about things, I had no clue. I don't know what all shots he gave her. I don't know if her weight is always that...although I would guess it is. I did have the files faxed to the new vet when i got home though. She mentioned giving her shots for Cat Leukemia and AIDS too. I didn't know what to say to that. She said it was for outside cats. June goes outside sometimes. June also has some sort of allergy...possibly to fleas. she couldn't get a shot for that yet. it has to be at least a week after vaccines. it's not bad though, so we'll do it if it continues to give her bumps/scabs. everyone at the vet loved june and her little backpack we carry her in. it's so much easier than chancing her jumping out of my arms and she can hide in it when she's scared (all the time when not at home). it's also easier for getting to the car and back. She can't run out and hide under the seat where I can't get her out. her harness attaches to the clip inside the bag, so if she jumps, she can't go anywhere. yea for happy healthy cats!

Birthday Gifts

This is the gifts from dad. 3 puzzle books!
This is what he chose to stuff the box with. I think he went down the Halloween candy isle at Walmart and chose several bags, then decided to get some good nuts and chocolate covered almonds. Yummy. And he admitted to trying to make me fat. :-)
This is the 3 dvd disc set of Anne of Green Gables series that mom got me.
This is the recipe book that my mother-in-law gave me. It's cute and has plenty of room left.
Ok, this is my new ipod. It's orange if you can't tell from the photo. It's actually a graduation present from jer. I just got it today though. we were waiting for the newest ones that were came out a couple of weeks ago. edit: He put an engraving on the back that says "What can I say? Librarians Rule!" Apparently, it's a quote from Regis.

I also got a cool game from Matthew and Rebecca (brother-in-law and sister-in-law). It's called the Settlers of Catan. We enjoyed playing it together over Labor Day weekend.

Jer is actually getting me a b-day present. I get it this weekend. It's a spa day at a local hotel in Eureka. I'm pretty excited! I've been wanting one for years. It comes at a good time too b/c i woke up with a awful crick in my neck.

And the crying in the song from yesterday's post was just b/c. i didn't want to cry, not did i actually cry. the song was just stuck in my head and if i wanted to cry, i could. it was my birthday afterall. :-)

Tomato Sauce

This is my first attempt at tomato sauce from scratch. it wasn't so great at first, but it worked out ok after i boiled out all the extra water. if anyone has any recipes for this, send them to me. Janet, jer says that you have a good one. i would like to see it. who knows, it might end up in my new recipe book that i'll be posting a picture of soon. :-)

Labor Day Weekend

Jer's sister and family joined us in Hot Springs for Labor Day weekend. We have a wonderful time. Audrey's quite the little talker. I think she enjoyed hanging out with her Uncle Jermy and Aunt Iza. Here are a few pictures of our times together.
