It's off to Italy!

Mom and Jack are off to tour Italy with Auntie Di. They left Oct 16th and will be back around the 25th or so. I can't wait to see the pictures so I can get them posted on the blogs. How FUN!!!!!!!!! Have a good time and a safe trip you guys. They are now back and had a wonderful time. They will hopefully share some photo's soon.

Al is recovering from his knee surgery and in Physical Therapy and loves the pool and hot tub he gets to use while he is there. He has been riding his bike to work the knees. He is winterizing the bus and bunkering down for the long winter. He is doing GRRRRRRREAT on his diet.

Kiersa got rushed to the hospital for an appendicitis attack. She had to have surgery and is back home now. Her Mom is staying there during the week of the 21st to help out with baby Cohen.
Get well soon Kiersa!

Haven't heard a word from Bill. Hope you are staying safe with the fires. I am sure you are standing guard on both places? Yikes! I saw pictures and it looked like the fires were in your back yard in Alta Loma.

Haven't heard much from Shannon. Ditto on the fires.

Never hear from Barb, but Mom clues me in if something is new. Latest news was Barb and Jerry got evacuated for a night and they were told to head for Home Depot and they should sleep in their car? Barb grabbed her 4 legged kids and her wedding dress and ran to the car. Mom told me that the winery where they got married burned to the ground....... SAD!

As for me? The last puppy should be leaving this week. I too am getting geared up for the cold winter. I needed a winter project to fill the idle time while I was snowed in for the winter. I have taken up making custom semi-precious gemstone jewelry, beads, and beadwork and have a new Blog page, Beads n Things.

Ok, so what else is new? If anyone has any news, let me hear from you.

Hugs to all.

Boo

Catching Everyone up to Speed

With all of the Family member's blogs it is hard to keep up with the news, so I am going to post the latest updates here, in one centralized post. As it is with life, everyone has been busy as usual, now that the weather has been nice. The greenhouse crops have been awesome. Mom's and Al's gardens produced lots of veggies. Both Al's and Mom's Goji Berry bushes have blossoms, none on Boo's. Boo hoo! Everyone has enjoyed sun, warmth, summer! The temps are quickly changing though, as fall is settling in upon us. Won't be long and a few of us will have snow!

Mom and Jack harvested Wednesday night so the grapes are gone to market. Yeah!!!!! Now they are going to take a vacation and head to Mexico.

Al is having knee surgery next week so he will be recovering for a few weeks. He also started a diet and is doing terrific! Way to go Al!!!!!! Spam is still a Spammie-roid. Al reported (a week ago) that she found a fresh pile of cow dung and had quite the time rolling in it..... coming home very stinky. Yucky poo!

Everyone now knows that I have a new litter of puppies... woo hoo! They are 5 days old now and I just took current pics for anyone who wants to see them.

Steve got a raise, so he is jazzed!

Haven't heard from Shannon, so don't know what is new there....

Haven't heard from Bill, Tom or news of Barb either, so??????

So that's all folks, unless someone sends me some more news to report.

I hope everyone is out enjoying the last bit of summer and good weather that we will have for awhile. Love and Hugs to all!

Happy Birthday Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
