Heidi - hope it's 3rd time lucky with this tractor.
Gail - glad the party went so well. Sorry it was so hot, I just saw that some of Australia, including possibly Melbourne are in for a massive rain 'event' (love the way they use that expression these days) in the next few days lasting until Mar 6th - I get there on 10th March - I don't want rain or heat - have had enough of both!!!

A Mother's love cannot be measured
It's a brilliant gem to be treasured

Broni - sorry about the job but if it didn't feel right, it probably wasn't. Something will turn up!
Suzy - how did baby sleep last night? Or really, how did you all sleep? Bet you jumped at every little sound.

More to do - Ciao!

It's raining here. Of course! I've spent so much time up the hospital over the last week I'm way behind on my gnihsaw.

The baby is sleeping like an angel. That stable heart beat they freaked out about when they were monitoring her unborn - she's exactly the same born! Every now and then we poke her to make sure she's breathing...

Oh, and we don't hear any of the night stuff. Other end of the house!! Close by if she needs us, but it's all up to her.

Smart, Suzy. Very smart.

Zusy, you amaze me, keep it up girl you have got it right.

Condolences to Stella and family as another angel's name has been given to us....may she rest in peace.
Sorry I missed reading about the transition, but trust it was peaceful.

Other end of the house is good, Suzy!
Glad she's a peaceful sleeper.
I've been running around so much today getting things ready, buying groceries (Andrew is paying his share!) and doing a one-off - his washing because he's busy packing and moving. After this he's on his own -I'll wash Em's stuff but not his!
Now I've overheated, even though it's only about 28C, the humidity after the rain is sky high so I turned on the air-con for a while.

♥ RIP Stella's Mum ♥

Hello, Friends!

Vicki, Happy Birthday to your brother!

Welcome home to Dana and Natahlia!

Happy Engagement to Chloe and special guy Trent! Her dress is gorgeous! The cake sounds yummy. Seems like she has found herself a great guy from a good family! Best wishes for the young couple!

Stella, condolences to you and your family. May your Mom RIP!

Theresa, welcome back! What a great story about the mousetrap - and its moral is so true! Thanks for sharing!

Heidi, I hope the new tractor fulfills all promises and makes the hay hauling an easy task!

Broni, it seems you always have your hands full! Good luck with the repairs! Seems that the job situation worked itself out. Will you be looking for another soon?

Cyn, I hope the weather will be pleasant for your visit! Also, hope it will be relaxing, as the preparations certainly aren't! Em is lucky that you'll do her laundry (or maybe Andrew is better with laundry than some males and doesn't throw everything together in the wash).

Suzy, good news that Dana and Natahlia are at the other end of the house from you, but also good news that N sleeps well!

I'll be headed to bed soon! {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}, , positive thoughts, healing vibes, and prayers for all!

Cannot get my posts to work. trying again.

Loving thoughts to Stella on the loss of her Mother. A long time since she has visited us here.
Love the photos of the party Gail.

Broni, hope the right job comes along soon.
I cleaned a lot of big (photo) Emails I sent last night and now I can post again.
Suzy, I wondered about the paternal side. I do hope Dana kept a copy of the Texts. Sharon had problems with a neighbour over a fence. She had insisted Emailing Sharon so Sharon had kept them all and when things were to go to court Sharon transcribed them and had them witnessed by a JP. They were also still on Sharon's phone.

June - Andrew has done that with texts from his ex - he's kept every one of them in his phone just in case he needs them in the future.
There are 4 exhausted people in this house - well 3 and a child - Col's already in bed, Andrew is trying to get madam Em to settle so he can go to bed. I'm logging off soon and will watch some tv first, then have an early night (for me that would be 10-11pm)

Have a good sleep CynB. I will be off as well.

Dana didn't keep a copy of the texts, in fact she gave the SIM card to Three, it was the one that was stolen to threats to Dana's pregnant belly. The thing is Dragon Lady (what Three, his brother and Dana call his mother)said something about finding out Dana had a new number 'and I thought you'd just been ignoring my texts for the last four months'... It sounds a lot to me like she is starting to set up the case for declaring Dana an 'unfit mother'. I have warned Dana that she needs to keep a record of everything and not give her any ammunition at all. I told her that even if someone makes an offhand remark about diaper rash (yes, I talk in American at home), she could twist it somehow, or try to anyway...

Why would she want to claim Dana's baby? She was talking about adoption before Dana got pregnant.

Broni, although I'm sorry you're unemployed again, I'm happy that you are not working at a place that obviously didn't value your skills. I really hope you find a great place next time.

Cyn, good luck with your house full! I really empathise. I am sooo tired!!!

Gail, the photos are fantastic. It looks like a fantastic party, mostly it looked like the bride and groom to be were very happy, yay!!! And you looked fantastic of course - no mean feat in hot, humid weather.

June, I hope you've had some nice relaxing time this weekend..

Morning all. Coffee is ready, help yourself.

Suzy, like the set up with Dana. Close by but not too close. Start documenting everything the dragon lady says and does. Dana will need your help with this. I think the fact that Three and his brother call her "dragon lady" says something for the type of mother she is.

Cyn, glad things are working out for you and your "new additions."

Don't remember much else. Will have to come back later and read again.

Please try to keep all evidence of threats from now on, Suzy. They can be used to get a restraining order to keep the Dragon Lady away from Dana and Natahlia. The woman is seriously deranged, and in my opinion is a danger to both. I wouldn't put it past her to try to get custody of Natahlia legally OR illegally. Or to harm Dana. You may even have to get Three's help... even if it means having Three testify about her character and psychological abuse to the authorities. If there's any decency in him, he won't want his daughter to suffer what he suffered, or worse.

Yeah, Eddie fixed my puter for me, my keyboard died! Not a good thing to wake to on a Sunday morning. We had a lot of spares in Al's office, just pick out one. So glad I am back computing again so quickly.

It is a lovely early spring day, a bit cool, a nice breeze, lovely blue skies with fluffy white clouds as contrast. I like days like today.

Eddie and I were sitting on back porch after he came to ask me a question about the dome parts he is cutting, spacers we did not have when that last kit went out, and I let out an excited, OH OH> He thought something was wrong, but I had just spitted a huge old fashioned pear tree in bloom back the lot behind us. Cannot see it as well as previously, couple pine trees have grown up blocking the view, but I saw it between the branches. that variety of pear is the first of them to bloom. My ornamental Bradford pears will be blooming soon. I see swelled buds already.

Broni, hope the hunt for the perfect job goes well this time.

Cyn, hope you do not over tire yourself with your full house. I am sure you will find enjoyable moments with your son and grandie.

June, my puter is getting slow, I need to clean some of my E-mails, I am sure that would help, Your comment reminded me of the solution.

Did we get a Heidi report on the new tractor after moving all the hay to her farm? I hope that went well, Heidi.

OK, off to get something done, and maybe a nap. I did not sleep well last night. Insomnia is the pits, but I made the most of my awake time and finished my book, You can tell I liked this one, finished in 3 days, I think I had been reading the one I did not like for 4 or 5 weeks!

hugs to each of you, with extras, till later.

heidi, I fixed the site for you!! Where is everyone today??

I've been hauling hay. The new tractor runs great!!!!

So glad to hear that heidi, I hope you have a long and loving relationship with your new tractor.

How much hay have you hauled?

Only 2 loads, but that's twice as many as each of the other tractors did. I wasted a lot of time on YouTube today (IH wasn't around to nag, so I had fun) so didn't have time for any more. IH is now home, so I'll haul a bunch more loads tomorrow.

Cute story. I have told you about the "candy thief" that lives across the street. Today, Dylan, his friend Joe, and Joe's sister (candy thief) were playing baseball on the side of our house.(plastic bat and ball) Joe hit a ball directly to Dylan's mouth. Joe came in to get me. I went out and Dylan is lying on the ground. He is not bleeding so I ask if he needs to see the dental assistant (Joe's mom) His sister goes to her house and comes back with an icepack for Dylan. Mom did not even know what happened. She made it herself. She also put Dylan's bike away for him. She is only 6 and as cute as a button.

Bright, too, Tami. Not many 6 year olds would know a good treatment for an ouchie like that, or how to make it herself. I foresee a future in the medical or dental fields.

Heidi, her mom works in a dental office. The kid is pretty smart, and cute too. Dylan is ok, just a little swollen on one lip. He will be fine. Glad that the tractor is working out for you. How are the puppies? So much has been going on here, you haven't mentioned them recently.

Morning all,
MizT, I would love to see a pear tree in bloom... what a wonderful surprise.

Heidi, I will be keeping a 'second hand' record of anything that goes on. She's a slippery one that's for sure. She's also not stupid, just psycho, not a good combo. Three is behind Dana all the way. He doesn't want his mother to get her hands on the little one.

How is your new tractor? Or shouldn't we ask?

Oops, forgot to post this..

Heidi, so glad your latest tractor is doing so well!! I'd like to hear about the puppies too...

Tami, I'm glad Dylan is okay. A little mother in the making there with the candy thief.

Distracting myself here. I see more of Nick in Dana's future. It's scary but I think I'm going to lose her again. It will be easier this time, but it will still hurt.

The puppies aren't so little any more. Born Nov. 5th makes them nearly 4 months old already. They're still terrorists. I'm just trying to keep plenty of chew toys around for them so too many clothes, sheets, blankets and pieces of furniture aren't sacrificed. Unfortunately, they won't outgrow the chewing until they hit 11 months old.

Sure it is only the baby bonus he is after Zusy, think they now spread out the payments so they do not splurge it all in one sum. Let's hope he gets tired of waiting.

Who's Nick? Three?

Maybe motherhood will have a sobering effect on her, Suzy.

I DID say MAYBE!!!!

I think I'm going to do an early cow check tonight. I'll get a good idea then if I can get a full night's sleep. I know we haven't had to pull a single calf of Rede's, but I figure if I don't keep an eye on calving, the first problem could occur. We have had some calving nightmares with other bulls. There was one bull that drove me crazy. I had to pull over half of his calves. He left shortly thereafter.

Yeah maybe Heidi, hehe!
Was assuming it was three and we all that makes an ASS out of U and ME.

And I didn't get kick off!
