new house coming along!!!

The new spec house that we are building, is coming right along! Jimmy is putting up the roof beams, and soon we start enclosing the place by putting on the roof...hopefully it will sell before we're done, so we can finish it out in the new owner's taste.

HOPPY EASTER~!!!!!

I FINALLY got my cast off and they put me in a walking boot......not that I could walk on it yet....for another  several weeks!
Eventually, I started putting weight on it, and after a total of  6 weeks, I got to be rid of it!!!

Now, it's just a matter of time, I am still hobbling around a lot....a fact that I hate......but hopefully, before fall, I hope to be walking normally again.
I now have a plate, several screws a piece of cadaver bone ( to extend my heel) and marrow from my pelvis (as the glue)  in my right foot.

Our 29th anniversary was on March 30th, and I was treated to tea and crumpets ( from the house of pecan sandies)  for breakfast.....

Goldie!

In all our traveling back and forth for Doctor appointments and taking back over one of the trucking companies, we are in Fort Worth A lot......We have been talking about missing my sweet Nikki, my Akita, who died in November (she was 13 1/2) and Jimmy decided to get another dog. I wanted to wait until my foot was better, but knowing Jimmy, I had better put my 2 cents in or he would bring me home something I probably wouldn't want!!!!
So........after spending several hours we brought home GOLDIE! A mini- golden doodle! The toy poodle in her, means she doesn't shed (yay!) and the golden retriever in her means she's super friendly. She is supposed to be about 35 pounds, fully grown.....BUT..... I have NEVER had a dog with such energy! ( I'm being kind)......She has gotten on my LAST nerve...daily!
But, she is so very sweet and it's just the "puppy" thing.
My poor Shadow (the 12 year old poodle) is really not too thrilled with her, but my cat Sheena, is really having fun messing with her. ( I can just see when she is thinking "stupid dog", haha!)
