My Daddy's ship went down in the Battle of Guadalcanal. He had scars and wounds....he had shrapnel in him until the day he died. As a little girl, the blue dots on his arms from the shards under the skin were fascinating to me. He had hairy knuckles because the doctors took a skin graft from his belly to put his hand back together, so he had this mass of curly hair on the back of his hand. :lol:

Bummer about the fawn...


I hope it works out.

As a kid I loved listening to war stories... as a kid the horror part was distant and not understandable.....and I saw them as just the best most fascinating adventure stories.

Checked my game camera today down on the beaver dam. Just one partial picture of the rat as he turned and swam away. (I need to correct the year and time next time I go down there.)

I can always count on you to have coffee ready! The news showed 2 tornadoes in Ohio, homes destroyed.

Fawn is gone. Appears that mom returned and bedded there last night as big area bedded was not before. All gone today. :) I want to believe they are together and fine. This is a field near a wooded area where a small herd lives. I am sure that several were bedding in this field. I wish them all well.

Coffe was welcome this AM as I had to go back to work after a VERY needed and welcome 2 days at home. Burnout. I got a lot done at home and that settled my own farm work needs. Had a relaxing couple days, even tho I worked all day. Ok, took a nap one day :old Haven't done that in a long time. It was very nice! :D Far less hours to work this week, so will get back to normal now -- maybe. More time at home, anyway. And will have time to go get new glasses ordered.

Bed time very soon. Morning coffee already sounds good :lol:

Now Mini....ya know,...that is a word that is carries Many "definitions" that can be applied to the word "normal"....it does seem that is an awfully difficult "target to hit".....I often think of the scene of I-gor when he takes the Abnormal brain, instead of the Normal one....and told the Dr that it was Abby Normal's brain.....:lol::gig......classic Gene Wilder/Marty Feldmen movie scene in Young Frankenstein.....:)

Coffee brewing, it's a little later than usual -- relaxing morning. Going to work in a while but, it's HOT out there so wouldn't do but so much at home until late day anyway. Works out just fine. :D =D Need to get gas for mower & diesel for tractor while out. Better post a note on my truck dash.:lol:

73 out there right now. upper 90's this week and rain possible Sat. We need it -- a good, soft rain would be great, for a few hrs. Am I asking too much :idunno
