Mini Barn Trip

Well, there is a problem loading pictures at the moment so will write for a while and then attempt to add in the photos. Marie wanted to go to the Co-op in Shelbyville so Carolyn and I went along and we took several side roads on the way there and on the way back. I do hope that I can get the photos to load as this highlight of the trip needs the pictures! As we approached Shelbyville, Marie asked if we wanted to go directly to the co-op or take a side road there...of course, we chose the side road! And, we are so glad that we did. We came to a field that had several donkeys in it and it looked a bit like there might be a fight between two of them at any minute...so we focused our cameras in on the donkey scene and fired away...and, so glad that we did. Marie noticed that there seemed to be a donkey lying down on the ground...at this point the fence was hiding the one on the ground from me. The one adult donkey was determined to keep the other adult donkey away and she was doing so both with her hooves and her teeth...finally the one adult donkey got the message and wandered away.
But before he did, we finally saw what was lying on the ground...a baby...one that hadn't even stood up yet...
and there before our eyes the little one made a valiant effort and managed to get to its feet...
a bit wobbly but he was up and immediately started walking around...so sweet.
And, we got pictures...but still there is a problem with loading them on here...I keep getting a message to try again later. Woody seemed to do well on his own. I wasn't sure if we would get back in time for lunch so reminded him that there was his favorite, at the moment, soup in the refrigerator and he did warm up a bowl for his lunch when I didn't appear in time for lunch. He also spent time upstairs while I was gone doing things on the computer...checking out baseball stats, doing his daily crossword puzzles, etc. His only complaint at the moment is that every so often his new site stings a bit so I suggested that he ask a nurse tomorrow when he goes for his next hemodialysis treatment. We were told to do nothing with that new site...so following directions! The only thing that we are doing now about his peritoneal dialysis site is that I continue to clean that site daily...only PD "duty" that we are currently doing...seems strange not to be getting ready to set up his nightly treatment! It still won't let me add photos and says to try again later. Finally was successful with getting the photos to load! Enjoy part of the wonderment of God's creation that we observed today. We are so thankful that we took that side road to Shelbyville! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
