SUNDAY TALKING - 03-17-2024

Happy St. Patrick's day 2024.


 Happy Birthday to my big brother Jim.

This week my grandson Ryan and his dog Maverick came to visit me.

 


Yesterday my son Tandy came to visit me and to repair a hole in my shower stall.  

 


Frank helped herd the chickens with me this week.

 

Plus we went to the Afton Swap Meet and got to see folks riding this camel.
 


This week I have tried to eat only soft foods.  My tooth hurts on the left side from dental work and on the right side from cracking a tooth from biting on something hard. See the dentist tomorrow.

Dallas Seavey won the 2024 IDITAROD.  This was his 6th win and it is historic.  Hooray for Dallas!

 

My favorites: Jessie Holmes placed 3rd.  Mille Prosild placed 7th.  Rookie Anna Hennessey placed 24th

SUNDAY TALKING...

 The Iditarod 2024 only has a couple of days to go.  I always have my picks and unless their dogs take over with the speed of Balto they won't win.  They have made some great strides however and I am proud of them.  How can anyone do this?  My picks have been Mille Porsild of Denmark to win and Anna Hennesey to win Rookie of the Year.  The guy I follow is Jessie Holmes and it looks like he just might win the 1st place crown.  

Do you all know who Balto is?

WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY - 02-28-2024

 This week's prompts are:
1. tomorrow
2. coffee
3. direction
4. echo
5. sunshine

 provided by  lissa

  Finally...SUNSHINE!  Nothing has made me happier in recent times. Quickly I check the forecast for tomorrow and it appears to be more of the same. My single goal is moving in the direction of the pods to select a favorite.  The word "coffee" resounds from my deep voice and it seems evident that there is an echo  as I chant toward the brewing cup over and over.

SUNDAY TALKING -- 02-25-2024

 Thursday the 29 FACES will be over.  I will post a collage of the ones completed by me.  Only 5 more to go and I have enjoyed the challenge but know it will be good to come to an end. Meanwhile...

I decided to acquire 15 Rhode Island Red hens.  They were only $5 each which was a great bargain. We had to drive to Missouri to pick them up.  They all had frost bite on their combs but as they warmed up they began to lay beautiful brown eggs. Sadly we have lost three to some predatory critter so now we sit out with them when they are out of the hen house. It was awakening to realize hens were important on the NOL-NOC Estates.

The 2024 Iditarod has not officially begun but things are happening.  Brent Sass the 2022 Iditarod winner has been disqualified from this year's race.  Dog sled racing champion was disqualified over sexual assault allegations. The official start of the race will be Saturday, March 2, 2024.

So far we have collected a little over two dozen eggs.

The girls are busy and Frankie is in the lower right watching.

TUESDAY NEWS FOR FEBRUARY/MARCH 2024

 DON'T WORRY...

Beginning February 1, 2024 I will disappear from my Blog and my Facebook until the end of March.

29 Faces will begin and it is my plan to select favorite British actors on Acorn TV, Brit Box on Amazon. I hope the first one will be VERA. I will try.

The Iditarod will be starting mid February with the Food Drops the 14th and 15th. There will be lots of announcements and action leading up to the beginning of the race March 2, 2024.  Millie Porsild will be my pick for the winner of the 2024 race and I will begin deciding who my pick will be for the Rookie of the year.  

It will be my hope to catch some of your posts.  At the end of February my 29 faces will be posted. 

Bye...💓👋
