Two days ago I was trying to wrangle a goose back into the pen and fell face first. Thank God I didn't land in the pond, didn't stab myself with any of the sticks, didn't knock myself out on any of the big pieces of wood, and didn't break anything! My glasses are very crooked and I'll have to get them fixed. The geese all hissed and squawked at me and I thought they were going to come after me but they didn't. That's good too! The one I was trying to get back into the pen is the gosling which is almost the same size as the rest of them. The other 5 are EXTREMELY protective of Peep! And I nearly landed on him too! But even though he was caught in a big net and had gotten himself caught in the fence too, he managed to get himself out somehow awhile later. I managed to drag myself up and got back inside but I'm very bruised and sore. I should be better tomorrow. Steve wasn't home and I couldn't reach him or Nick so I left a message for Nick and when they got back from fishing Steve rushed over. I have orders not to mess with the geese anymore. :) I told Steve that if he didn't feed them properly they'd have to go. They were hungry and that's why they got out.

Steve was very busy this week helping Nick put in a water filtration system and fishing for halibut, shrimp and crab. So far they got a few shrimp and a few rock cod which are good eating. But nothing else. They've had a couple of shrimp pots in different places soaking for a couple of days so they're out right now checking the 2 pots. Hopefully there's some shrimp in them! :)

The other thing that happened this week was that the freight we'd ordered from down south came in! We really did well ordering the cabinets and things the way we did! We got quality things at half the price even with the shipping costs! Steve's next 3 jobs in this order (according to him right now) are putting up my scrap room cabinets, getting electricity and water hooked up in the laundry room so we will have the washer and dryer in one place that will be heated by a small electric heater when necessary, and getting the rest of the house weathered in using a man lift and with Nick helping him. He's going to use the scrap cabinets for storing things right now but having them up will give me a good indication of what else I need to order. YAYAY!

And my wallpaper came in too! OMG it's so BEAUTIFUL! Blue background with pink flamingos! $15 on Amazon! And I think I'll have plenty without ordering more! What a deal!

I haven't scrapped this week. I was going to and my printer ran out of ink so I couldn't print ANYTHING until Thursday night after I went to town and got our boxes and mail. First time in over a month I've driven by myself. It was nice! Our weather has been GORGEOUS and will be this way until Thursday! High 60s, sunny and just beautiful! I even saw a bear cub on the way home that day!

So that's been my week. I hope you're all doing well! I'll try to catch up on everyone's news.
Oh my, hope you're not too bruised and banged up. Be careful. As we get older we are not as steady on our feet. I remember when I could just hop up on the tailgate of the truck with ease and now I have to lay across it and pull my self up. I finally put a new hitch on the bottom that I can stand on and swing my leg over it. One of these days I'm going to bust my butt doing that. I just hope I'm at home when it happens :lol: :lol: :lol:
I know EXACTLY what you mean Jan! One of the things they found when they did the CT scan of my sinuses is that I am so clogged on my right side that they couldn't see anything. I'm sure that knocks my balance off so maybe it will be better if we can get whatever that is cleared up. Meanwhile I am forbidden to wrangle geese anymore. :) I didn't argue too much on that! :)
