Had my dad visiting us for a month, and kept very busy entertaining, vacationing, and just enjoying spending time with him. Just wondering if y'all ran off any more "Bert Carrings" or if anything else terribly exciting (or not) happened ... I started trying to go back through the threads to see if I could catch up, and decided I'd rather just post this instead...
ILG... how's the garden?
T2W... how's the husband doing?
Ferd ... just read update about your son Jack, will continue praying...
Timmy ... did you really rob a bank?
RW... did you take that vacation to Hawaii?
PO, Lacey, Esther... shared any recipes I missed out on?
BeenThinkin... how's the peace keeping efforts going?
The rest of you.. just chime in and fill me in on what's been happening ... Sorry if I left anyone out

Welcome back. The new knees are in place and walking has commenced! We could not find a home PT place on our Aetna insurance that would come to Podunk. Don can not drive to PT and I can not take him to PT and go to work... So he is doing home exercises on his own. I was leery but he seem to really be making progress. He is awesome.
The farm is still here so I've not had a lot of time for much else. Garden has all but burned up in the hot dry weather and the grass is not far behind if we don't get some rain. Fortunately I stocked in a lot of hay early on in the year so the animals will not starve I dried up all the goats and all but one Jersey cow to be ready for this so my milking chores are down to about 45 minutes twice a day and I can get feeding done in about an hour twice a day. Canned what I could, gave the rest away.
Glad you got to spend time with your dad. Those are precious moments for sure.
Garden is coming along. I just got done freeing some tomato and bean plants from their weed prisons. I haven't gotten much produce yet but should soon. I've gotten mostly salad fixin's.
How's yours?

Poor Don! Must be tough having to do exercises on both knees, very time consuming! Will continue to keep him and you in my prayers!
I had to laugh about your garden burning up. My garden is just getting started here, and my concern is not about it burning up, but freezing up! It has been dipping down into the low 40s here at night, and perhaps even 38 degrees, and even with my greenhouse, my heat loving plants are trying to tough it out.
I have started to reap some squash, and peas from the garden, and some tomatoes starting to ripen... I only hope I'll have enough to can!
I did have a wonderful time with my Dad, a month sounded like a long time at first, but it is amazing how the days fly by, and then it was time for him to go.
