Empty Tomb Snack



Jesus is Alive!  We made these delicious Empty Tomb snacks in Edible Art Class.




"The Lone Ranger"



My friend Tracy fosters dogs in her home and had this cute little guy at co-op.  He is Chihuahua mix.  She of course has to feed him every couple of hours.  The girls were
snuggling him and giving him love. 
This brought back memories of my mom sneaking "Cee Cee" a Chihuahua puppy home on a plane from Illinois to California in a carry on bag.  He looks just like that puppy.  Ahhh!

"Rockie" our new car!


This is our new Car Rockie!  We had to down size our vehicle due to Mike's commute to Goodyear Az.  It was killing us in gas each month.  I am proud of him for letting go of his truck.  It is hard to sacrifice a material thing that you really like!  He loved his Toyota truck.  The drive is about 100 miles each day, So we traded our Toyota in for this Ford Fiesta.  It is a sporty hatchback and it gets 38 miles to the gallon!  Wahoo!  It brings back memories for me.  I drove a little Chevy sprint in college and I got 50 miles to the gallon.  Anyway we are smiling all the way to the gas station.  He filled the tank yesterday and he called and said it cost him $ 30 to fill it up.  Got to  Love that!



Hannah and I named it Rockie!  It zips around like a Little Rocket!

Sprocket Lost His Eye!


Sprocket the Horse Hannah rides lost his eye due to a horrible eye infection!

This picture was taken a week after the surgery.  Hannah rode him today for the first time since the surgery.  She had to give him verbal cues. But he is actually doing quite well.  He trusts Hannah and she has bonded with Sprocket.  She has been riding him for about 4 years.  The vet is amazed at how well he is recovering.  Hannah is really happy that he is not in pain anymore.

This is a picture of Hannah & Sprocket before he lost the eye!

Here is a letter she wrote to her Granny Nanny explaining what Happened!

Dear Granny Nanny,

Hi!
Sprocket the horse I ride had an infection in his eye.  It got so bad that they removed it.  He's been with one eye for about a week now. I got to watch the surgery.  It was really cool and sad at the same time.  They had to cut the eye lid then go under the eye ball and cut the nerves.  We were hoping that we could study the eye when it came out but it burst instead.  I did get to touch the iris though.  It was hard and squishy.  Once they got the eye out the vet and his helper cut the eye lashes and sewed him up.  He has knots along the rest of what he did not cut off of the eye lid.  He looks like Frankenstein! Ha Ha!
There was another horse Allie that had a tumor in her nose so he cut it off and then froze it.  He also floated both the horses teeth!!!

Love,
Hannah   

PS  Hi! Grandpa Paul I miss you and love you so much. Hope Bear is not in trouble! Ha Ha
