Today we are takin' a little trip on the Talimena National Scenic Byway to explore the beautiful fall colors. I promise to take a lot of pics and post them (hopefully when we get home as I work the next 4 days and I usually don't get online). The locals have been tellin' me about the drive for a while now and since Brandon and I both have the day off and the kids have Fridays off, we decided today was the day. YEEEHAWWWW!!! I love road trips:O)
The shock of Choncho lessens as the days pass. My mind protects me in that when I do happen to think about it, it shuts it down and unless I fully concentrate, I can't think about the reality of it. Spirit has been close to a basket case. Spooky and jumpy. I did close off the gate at the bottom of the pasture/creek and opened our gate to let him graze our yard and the pretty green grass that has come up with the recent rains (thank God!!!). I see him a little bit but mostly he keeps to himself...and he doesn't lick my hand like he used to. I wish I knew what to do for him...
On a lighter note, I had a company contact me about possibly bein' in a reality tv show. How 'bout them apples...lol:O) We're supposed to get together on skype and talk some. We'll see how it all pans out. Somethin' fun to think about anyhow.
I also need to take some pics of our new puppy, Maya. She is a cutie but irritatin' at the same time...PUPPIES;O) I will start her trainin' soon. I hope to go huntin' this evenin' and I think we'll take her. Get her used to bein' out in the woods and see what kinds of smells she finds. She seems to have a good sniffer on her. We would still need to get a catch dog for hoggin' but we might see how Hog does. He's about 2 but I've never been one to think animals get too old to train for somethin' new.
Anyhoo, I should get goin', finish gettin' ready and enjoy the warm cinnamon rolls fixin' to come outta the oven...yummmm!!
I hope ya'll are gettin' ready for the big day next week. I will post my menu. We still need to find a turkey as I don't want to buy one from the store. I have given us until next Tuesday to hunt one or I'll need to buy one.
Have a great day and I'll talk atcha ya'll late:O)
