kittenmmm's blog post - Been a while

I haven't really had much to put into my blog. I have some personal issues that are going on and prefer not to talk about them right now, at least not in this type of forum.

I can however say that I had a great visit from the old wolf. I dropped him off at the airport tonight so he could make his way back to Dallas.

As usual he was a perfect gentleman and a great friend. Unfortunately I didn't get to take him to as many places as I originally had planned but he told me he had a good time anyway and said he loved what part of New England he did get to see.

He got to travel to the big little city of Woonsocket and try some local delicacies...weiners and fish cakes. We tried to get the Del's lemonade but no one was selling it because it was out of season.

Don't you know, he's across the street checking out the neighbor's horses and helping her look at her filly's hooves. How typical of our cowboy.

His first full night here I broke him in good though by having him help me chase an errant pig back to its pen. Good thing he has a sense of humor. We spent the rest of that night looking for the shorts in the electric fence and fixing them.

The next day we were off to Newport to do the cliff walk in a bitter wind. It was still nice, especially when the wind was at our backs, because the sun was shining. Typical of New England though, by the time we left Newport and were 1/2 way home, it started to snow. We stopped off at one of my friends' house to see if they wanted to go to eat with us but we ended up eating there. We had a fun night with them just bullshitting, enjoying good company and good food; a great combination in which you can never go wrong.

Sunday was a first for him, his first Catholic mass. Because I had my lector turn he had to depend on the little old ladies that always sit behind me. They got a kick out of teaching him the catholic aerobics of mass. We visited another friend for a little while and got home in time to chase the goats back in the paddock. Damn goats. We walked the land here which took us quite a while then did the feedings and fed ourselves on a ham I had cooked. Nothing like fresh pig.

Monday we got to fix the dryer my son had broken by overloading it. LOL. A project to say the least but we did manage to fix it. Another goat chasing and then we did some work around the farm. A little bit of fencing..temporary fix but getting there. He cut some wood for me because he decided I needed more, fixed a light outside that had burnt out and helped me clean up an area so I could get my tractor out of the weather. Nothing like having working guests. We did finally manage to get to a seafood restaurant so he could get his seafood dinner. What a mound of food! I still have leftovers in my fridge.

Today was his last day here and he busied himself with some wood cutting while I worked. Then it was off to Woonsocket to get my mom so she could be home when my son got out of school.

All in all, we had a great visit. Of course it's easy to have fun when you have such an accomodating guest. When he comes up to New England again someday maybe I can show him some other tourist traps and neat things to do. If I'm lucky maybe I can convince him to come up and work for me. He's good with the animals and he knows what needs to be done on a farm. Hey you never know.

Well, now you're all caught up as far as what I can talk about.
