I needed to get a doe with my bow so I could can it for the guys to take on their Elk trip to Colorado in a little over a week. I got up Tuesday determined that this was the day to do it and I did. It was a big doe and I was able to can 14 quart plus I had 12 packages of t-loin for the freezer. Jay was so proud of my shot. It was pretty much perfect. Wednesday I worked with the guys a job we are doing for the city park. It rained and I got wet and cold. Wednesday night I ended up going with Amy to the ER with Paige. She suddenly broke out in hives and was swelled pretty good and Amy was concerned about the possibility of her throat swelling. Over the next few hours it would come and go. She has an appointment with an allergist next week. Amy is so allergic to insect bites she has to carry an"eppy pin". Thursday I officially had the day off as it was my b-day (yea right). Rob and Les took me to Bob Evans for brunch and then we went across the road to church to load up all the mums I used to decorate so I could plant them at home. After I dropped them off i stopped by the city park (BIG MISTAKE). The guys pleadingly asked me to help pull some wire in conduit. It wasn't normal sized wire. First of all each piece of wire was about 1 inch in diameter, 225 feet long and there were 6 of them that all needed pulled thru the conduit at one time. I about ran out of "Umph" til we got it all in. Jay and I were both feeling our age that night. Friday morning I cut my deer meat up and got it ready for canning in between answering business calls and scheduling jobs with the power company for next week. Amy and Heidi came at noon and we took my truck and went to Sam's Club to get everything the guys need for their trip. Have you noticed how Amy and I are getting all this stuff ready for the guys to enjoy? Something doesn't seem right about this. Any how I called Jay after we left Sam's Club and asked him how much of a load I needed on the truck before I put it in tow mode.ha! We had a load. Just before we left Sam's, Heidi managed to poke her finger in Amy's eye. It was instantly bloody looking and she couldn't see. She went to the bathroom and put a wet cold cloth on it. She called this morning first thing and asked me to call our eye Dr. as she had been up all night and was in a lot of pain. I took her and dropped her off while I went to pick up material for a job Monday.She had quite a cut in it. He put a contact patch on it (which gave instant relief) ,antibiotic drops and told her to go home an sleep fora while. Les picked her up and took her to her house while she waited on me. I went by there,ate some of Les's good chili and then took her home. I then picked up bread and juice for communion services tomorrow and headed home. Jay did 2 different service calls today and then stopped by Rob and Leslie's as the guys were putting up trusses on the garage and trying to fix a septic problem. Today is Tristin's 6th b-day. His mommy took them to the Columbus Zoo. He called me this morning and asked if I had gotten his Diego Ice Cream cake. I told him I ordered it. He then said he wanted a Diego Dinosaur toy. I sure hope WalMart has one as I don't have a clue. The kids are having cake for me Sunday night and then we are having a party for Tristin Monday night. Well I must get back to my cleaning. Love to all.
