Sierra's home!

She's narrating a slide shore of her pictures on the TV.  This one's called the Mona Lisa because the gun seems to follow the viewer.

Baby bunny

Aspen caught Copper mauling this baby bunny.  We are hoping that his mommy will come get him in the morning.  Or we have a new pet bunny.

Sierra's about to land!

Baby's almost home!  Plane is due to land in 10 minutes!  So excited!
Chris is picking her up, and hopefully they'll come straight home.  Mommy excited!

I made her enchiladas suizas and rice for dinner.  She's jonesing for Mexican and Asian food after three week of Irish-only.

To keep our minds off of waiting for her, we had a busy day.  Aspen and I went for a walk with Cathy at 9, then borrowed her juicer to juice all of our grapes.  We pasteurized it, then mixed 4 parts of grape juice with 1 part honey to make mead.  We've got 5 full quarts.  We've got to stir it daily for a week, then let it rest for a month.

Pat finished scraping the lawn off of the front yard inside the circle drive so we can build our little western town of sheds up there.  We're tired of the marsh in the winter and the yellow grass in the summer, so we're going to let the airport dirt provide a stable building surface and parking area for guests.

Aspen and I have been refinishing our dining table (looks awesome so far; we've completed day 2 of the process).  We went to Carl's Jr for lunch, then came home for a nap.  Paid some bills, then worked on my Psych 309 course (I needed to change some things about the class).

Then we watched Bill O'Reilly, and Grandpa Marv's letter got read!  That's his 3rd one.  I can't get one read!

I've been tracking Sierra's flights since I got up this morning, and I think I did a good job of filling the day so time would go by quickly.  And now it's almost up!  Yay!

Doing a little yard work

Gotta get rid of all the marshy areas before the trains come back.  We're having a gorgeous early fall!
