Family Easter Party

I know there are lots of things going on Saturday but if you were wondering about the Easter party at Aunt Sharon's - it is still on. If the weather cooperates! Saturday 11:00. The eggs will need to be there earlier for the Easter Bunny to hide. So please provide those. Bring and something to cook on the fire salad or chips or dessert. Now also please note that if the weather is bad the party will be cancelled. Who would have thought we would have freezing weather this late in April. If there is any question on Saturday please call Sharon to see if the party is on.

Family Gossip

Please notice the invitation to the right of this to Abby's Party>>>>>>>
Family rummors : I heard that Emma is wearing a shiny ring on her left hand -- fact or fiction? I heard Sharon turned the big 60 this last week end. We could hardly get any sleep from all the partying going on down there. Almost had to call the cops. Fact or Fiction? I heard Rick has been going to night school to be a State Patrolman. Fact or Fiction? I heard Kyle and Mishelle took their kids to Seattle over Spring Break and ran into Brian and Ronnie and their kids at the Cheese Cake Factory? ( This was a fact) Answers: I did hear Emma has a ring, No there was no party at Rick & Sharon's - that I know of, Rick's going to school but I'm not sure what for. I've been sick and out of the loop for so long these are things I have heard second hand. I think they are true. I would love to hear any news about the family if anyone knows any.

Pink eye! What Next?

For the 3rd time in a little over a month I am sick!! And this ain't no April Fool's joke! This started Monday morning with my eye sealed shut. By Tuesday I realized it wasn't going away when I woke up with my eye swollen shut and I couldn't get out of bed because by body was raging with pain. No it was not a pretty site. I couldn't believe this was happening - AGAIN!! I don't know how but I got my self ready and drove myself to the Moses Lake Clinic. The walk in clinic had a 1 1/2 hour wait already even though it was very early in the morning. I just prayed no one came in that I knew because I didn't want to talk to anyone. I looked awful, eye sealed shut, no makeup and I didn't even do my hair. I wished I could have written down my symptoms and just handed them to the Dr. cause I didn't even want to talk to him. And you don't just have to tell the Dr. You have to tell the lady that checks you in, the nurse who takes you back and the Dr. For Heaven's sake, can't they all just be there together and hear the story. No one really cares but the Dr, anyway. So I told the Dr. my sad tale about how I had been sick so many times and everytime they were just viruses. So $125.00 later he said it was a virus. And guess what there is nothing they can do for viruses. Why oh why can't I have a bacteria infection. At least then I could have an antibiotic. Well he could give me something for the pink eye. So thank goodness for that. And did say if I got one more virus they were going to do tests to see what was causing this. I know that because almost every chair in the waiting room was full - I am not the only one sick. So hopefully thats it. I am thinking good thoughts and hoping I get my voice back fully and get rid of the headaches and cough soon. AGAIN!!! Its a good thing I don't have a bunch of chickens to take care of!

Olson's Chicken Farm - Eggs for sale

So Ed decided it would be a really great idea if we got some chickens and had our own eggs. I didn't think we could have chickens in town but he said he asked and we could. So he bought the lumber for the chicken coop and the wire and all the stuff. I told him I was deathly afraid of chickens because we had them when I was growing up and the rooster always chased us when we went to get the eggs. Besides with the stink of chicken poop--and the crowing of the rooster I knew our neighbors would not be happy with us. But he was determined to do this and I couldn't change his mind. So he got on the internet and actually found a place where you could order chickens. Did you know you can get 20 baby chicks and 1 rooster for $35.00 not including shipping and handling. And they ship them UPS! Well, yesterday they showed up, the problem being that Ed didn't have the chicken coop ready yet. I called him and screamed "THE CHICKENS ARE HERE - what the H - E - double hockey sticks are we going to do with them!!!?? I don't see Ed panic much but he did rush home and there I was with this cardboard box of chirping chicks. Chessie was going crazy trying to get in the box.
And evidently they have to be kept warm and need food, water & shelter of which we had none!! I will not go into detail of the words spoken that night but I know a lot of repenting will have to be done. Ed decided the chicks would have to be put in the house for the night and well, I won't repeat what I told him. We rigged up a water pan and did you know baby chicks can eat dog food!! Today I am exhausted from no sleep, Ed is building a chicken coop and our house smells like chicken poop. And if it wasn't april fools day and if it was a true story Ed would be packing his bags to go live with his mommy!
