2013 - Day 216/149 - Sunday...

What is the second most frequent answer when people are asked "What would you do if you won the lottery?"  Get a divorce.

The most frequent answer is Start my own business, but what I really think they meant was get an unlisted number.  Anyway, here I am, composing another journal entry, so you all know that I did not win, and I am very disappointed.  Well, there is always Wednesday (or is it Thursday?), I'm not sure, but I am certain the media will inform me when it is time to make the purchase.

Today was a great day.  Slept in a little bit, let the girls loose (and they were ready), made a big ole pile of eggs for me and Jody, then went outside and started working.  I actually (okay, with Miguel's help) got everything on the list done plus a couple more items.  It is interesting what you find when you are moving boxes and stuff from one place to another.  I have to admit, I have a better understanding of what is packed up and now stored in the new shed out in the back.  The garage is also looking pretty neat and clean if I do say so myself.  This Proclamation from the City of Riverview, Michigan was given to me in 1967.  A friend of mine from two houses down and I were delivering the newspapers early one morning and there was a fire in one of the houses.  We got into the house, woke up the people inside and carried the chair outside (after we put out the fire).  I got this proclamation from the City and a $50 savings bond.  I was in tall cotton.  Oh, and we also got out pictures taken and published in the Detroit Free Press. 

Jody and I left the house this afternoon about 1:30 or so (after naps and showers) and headed into Austin.  We made a run to Costco, then a couple more stops before we went to dinner.  I had a 7 ounce filet, and brought most of it home with me.  The leftovers will make a meal for the two of us to split. 

We got a record number of eggs today, nine all together.  I hope the egg drought has finally ended and we should be getting a good number of eggs every day pretty soon.  I think we have at least 25 chickens out there (I have not counted lately), but I think there should be 28 (after divesting ourselves of the obvious boy-chicks), and the new girls have started laying.  We should be knee deep in eggs pretty soon if everything goes as planned.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, FIRE, FIRE, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
