We have them down in the desert with just shrubs. They are almost impossible to see in the mesquite bushes.

I went to hospital today.
No I'm not ill.
Went to visit cousin.
This is what grand daughter did at my parents house today.
Give that girl some good old fashion country food.
Oh, by the way her clothes are soaking.
She's learning to feed herself too.
She loves her some macaroni and tomatoes, fish,my dad cooks for her.

Watching a survival show, Dual Survival. They were "stranded" in the desert when they came upon a rotting dead smelly cow. The guy insisted on cutting the hide from this stinking carcass. He puked his guts out and lost water from his system. What an idiot...I'm no expert, but I know better than to do dumb stuff like that...
You missed one! I live in the desert, not the reset. That's what I get for typing and eating.
I believe infants and small children absorb their nourishment through their faces instead of digestion it.
I believe you may be right.
Had grand daughter today.

Went to town and got the 49 cent a pound turkey this morning and a couple of other needed items. Came home and made a big pot of veggie soup in the crock pot. Went out to dinner with my Sunday School class this evening. I had a big salad and ice water. Came home and put the soup away (froze some) and then prepped my soup and snacks for tomorrow. I'm tired.
Started a big pot of Taco soup, visited the new Kroger grocery store, now back to trying to reverse entropy on my desk and in my workshop.
Last night my wife and I stayed up for awhile and watched the Geminid meteor shower. It was pretty cool to watch. While we were watching that our outside motion sensor light came on and we had a small herd of elk surrounding our house. That was enough stuff to see for one so we went to bed.
Misplaced my cell phone. Cell is three generations behind and you know how much they want for a newer one?!?!? Went to charge it before heading to bed and it wasn't in my shirt pocket. I pickup the nightstand phone and called my as I walk to the main-floor stairway. I don't hear my cell ring tone. Hmmm. Last place I remember I had it was at work on my desk. No big deal, I'll get it when I return to work in the morning.
Next day at work and no cell phone on my desk. Bummer. I carry it in my shirt pocket and at my age I don't bend over to much anymore but it could have fallen out but where? When I was gathering eggs? Getting tools out of my tool box? At work moving a bag of sidewalk salt used to prop a door open? A lot of places to check...light bulb moment! Called #1 son. The "Find Friends" app on his cell shows my cell at my house. That narrows the search area considerably.
Then I had another great idea. Figured out the username and password I used for my iCloud account. When I got home I used my iPad to access my iCloud account, Find iPhone, Play Sound. I don't hear anything upstairs or on the main floor. I barely hear a tune coming up from the basement. Sounds like it's coming from the reloading room but I wasn't in there last night. Nope sound is getting quieter so I retrace my steps. Laying on my desk in the den. Yea now I remember, used it to check a email address and laid it on the desk instead of my habit of back in the shirt pocket.
You know when you get old they say your memory is the second thing you lose? I don't remember what the first thing is...

Brought the twins to their Grandma's memorial service. She was a heroin addict and died in her early 60's. Massive stroke. Twilight zone time. It was in a gym and about 50 people attended. Most of their relatives haven't seen the twins in 4 years, since we've had them and didn't recognize them at all. I brought a friend with me, and we sat for the afternoon and visited. Thank goodness for that, as I didn't know anybody except for their mom, also a heroin addict. She just got out of the hospital with flesh eating bacteria from injecting a dirty needle that was infected in the area of her way upper thigh. Disgusting. Had the twins change and wash when we got home. A few of the relatives asked them who they've been living with, and they pointed to me. They were surprised they had a "white grandma". Their mom was working the room (panhandling) after the service was over. Even hit up my grandson (her son) for 20 bucks. He didn't have it. I locked my purse in my trunk. The service was said by a very young man from a nearby church who didn't know the lady at all. He interviewed a granddaughter about her, and said some words just by what he got from the interview. You would of thought she was Mother Theresa. She wasn't. A very weird day indeed. So we got home, had the kids hazmat their clothes and selves, and I dropped them off at school so they could get the Haunted House ready for tonight's middle school festivities. Evidently it's ok to say, "Happy Presents Day" and have a haunted house. Christmas and Holiday are not pc anymore.

Sorry for their loss Amish. Drugs are a terrible thing when addicted. They are lucky they have such a nice ' white grandma ' too.

Maybe it'll be clear tomorrow night and the meteor shower will still be visible
Back from being AWOL our local telecommunications people sent us out a dud wireless modem so we had to get a sim card which they put 30 gig on free for us until they work out what is wrong with it. I think and know it has a faulty sim card so they are sending us out another one of those and giving us a free months internet too which will be good. Apparently the activations team could not activate the sim in the wireless modem.
Anyway here we are out of limbo land.
We are in our new home have sorted out the bedroom so that is liveable, the lounge room you can move in and is set up, the bathrooms are all set up apart from unpacking the rest of the towels and sheets in there. Still need to unpack our food storage but I have set up the kitchen so far with more to go but all the appliances are ready and waiting to be used.
We both love our new home as it is sooo big and has so much storage in it we are almost skipping around the place. Took us a few days to get over moving/unpacking and sorting and I can honestly say I have never had such a sore back, stomach or had legs that were literally dragging and not lifting up anymore.
Today we found our home emergency kitty after DH putting it away in a safe spot, so safe he forgot where due to tiredness and the fact he has short term memory loss anyway from his military service. When I found it he said oh yeah now I remember where I put it
. I just laugh as it happens regularly which is why I usually shadow him when he does most things as we work together most of the time on everything. This way I can take a mental note of where he has put said tool/item that he always says he puts in x spot.
We went to town today and purchased a few needed things for the home/cars/sheds and some things we want to do around the home as well as chicken legs on special ,some sliced ham and smoked tinned chicken.

@timmie thank you for the well wishes

We think we will be waiting a few months to plant anything as we have to set up kangaroo fencing first before we build the garden beds and it is too hot to plant so we will have to buy shadecloth to go over each garden bed too as the poor veges will be fried. I wish I had the camera with me as a kangaroo hopped right past us in the yard after leaping over the side fence the day we moved in.

Congratulations @Sewingcreations15 !!!Wishing you many happy years and seasons of growth and harvest! And with minimal invaders.
I'm so glad you two are in your new home, @Sewingcreations15 It took me awhile to put everything in the place that was the most convenient, as when we moved in, we just put things away because we were so tired!

Congrats again, Sewing! I could not imagine a kangaroo hopping over a fence in our yard. We do have Sandhill Cranes that fly over that look like pteradactyls flying, and of course coyotes running.
Am getting ready for cookie baking day. Grown kids and grandkids all coming over and we bake lots of cookies. Son's girlfriend is making pozole for lunch, I'm making potato soup and hamburger soap. Also hot cider, cheeses and sausage. We'll have crockpots set up in the dining room for everyone to have lunch whenever. Oldest daughter and her family will also be here to celebrate Christmas early, because they never show up on holidays.
