For Phelan's Readers

I'm deeply sorry that I didn't get a chance to be on my computer long enough to tell you of our weekend.

I spent most of Saturday cleaning house (inside and out); P&D rolled in just as it was getting dark. We sped off with them to the New Orleans-style restaurant while their kitchen was still open. Dinner was delicious, but since Anthony hadn't napped that afternoon, we had to do a lot of juggling and appeasing.

When we got back, we put them to bed asap, as they'd had only 3 hours of sleep since Kansas. P and I woke up before the men got going, and by the time DH had made breakfast (while Dan installed their trailer lights) , it was an hour away from their departure time.

We had several delays, some due to the animals, others to trip logistics. They left here around 2:30. I will let Phelan tell you all about what they've brought back to KS.

[I'll update this after she's published her story--it's going to be a doozy]

Quick donkey update

Sombrea's all current with her vaccinations (rabies, west nile, flu) and the vet got the blood draw for the Coggins test. Would you believe she was the perfect little angel? Stood still for all the poking, didn't drag me all around the pen, no one got kicked. Yes, she's still holding a grudge against Steve, and he graciously bowed out of sight while I handled her.

There's hope for her yet.

We'll pick up her traveling papers on Friday, and have it all foldered up for Phelan and Dan to take with them.

Oh, and she is carrying "a little someone." The vet was able to nudge her side enough for the jack or jenny to nudge back. So, watch the skies for a really big stork to show up as early as late July.
