Just catching up
A donkey is happily eating grass again after falling down a dry, abandoned
well and being freed in an intensive rescue effort. It appeared that the
animal wandered away from its farm and onto some boards covering the well,
which broke, said Bruce Huseth, fire chief in this western Minnesota town.
Firefighters quickly realized that the animal, which belongs to farmer
Warren Gundberg, couldn't just be pulled from the abandoned well on Bryan
Nelson's land.
So they started pulling away earth with a tractor and dismantling the well
block by block Thursday. Once one wall had been taken apart, firefighters
put a harness around the donkey and guided it out with a rope.
"Whatever it takes," Nelson said as he watched his well come down. "I love
animals, and I'm just glad it's OK."
Gundberg admonished the animal after the rescue: "I bet you'll think twice
about doing that again. If you would have stayed home you wouldn't be in
this trouble."
Huseth said that he has rescued cows that have fallen through ice, but that
the donkey was a first.

My April Post
Speaking of screaming, I got an email telling me about a lady that bought a pot plant. I think it was at a grocery store. Anyway, she decides she wants to transplant it and when she started getting it out of its original container, something moved..
2 baby copper heads had hatched in there. I had bought Mama some flowers for Easter and after I read that, I sat her flowers on the porch. :-) I never thought of that. We stick our fingers in them sometimes to check if they need water.
I killed one - a snake - not a Copper head last week. Sometimes when they empty my garbage, the lid comes off and I have to bend it real hard to get it to pop back on. It was raining on garbage day so I laid the can down til I could get the lid back on and it wouldn't fill up with rain. The next day when I picked it up to put the garbage in, the snake was under it. I started chasing it with my limb cutters, and when I hit it the first time, it raised its head like it was looking around. I thought Oh s---!, its looking for me so I kept on swinging and hitting it til it was dead. I picked it up with the cutters and put it in my trash can. I wonder if the garbage man got a surprise when he opened my can this time. That il teach em not to break my lid, huh?:-)
OK, enough about snakes. I'm going to give myself night mares.

On a more serious side, it was awful what happened in VA. this week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families having to deal with it.

Just in case anyone pops up...Have a great day or night or whatever it is.

Better than nothing
Yelp, rained on my yard sale. It wasn’t a total loss though. I had put an ad in the paper that said “cancel if raining, ”which I shouldn’t have because we decided to arrange it in my 2 rent houses inside. They are both vacant right now. We put some signs up and managed to get a few people. I made around $30.00. Better than nothing, huh? We’re going to try it again in a couple of weeks. Actually, we're going to start doing them more often. I've been looking for cheap stuff and telling my friends if they want to get rid of their junk to bring it to me. I like doing stuff like that anyway.
My vacation is flying by. I go back to work Monday morning and my dept will be a wreck. Always is on Monday morning but it will be worse this time since I’m not working Saturday. I love my job, I love my job:-( I know, I know, better be glad I have one, right?
I didn't get to see my grandsons this vacation because they went to OK. I'll see them next vacation in May for my youngest one's first birthday. I need to start thinking about what to get him. They have so much, its hard deciding what to get, but I'll come up with something.
Time to get busy with my internet chores. I've been adding new items to my Qshop if anyone cares to take a look. I just have about 2000 items left to go.:-)
That's my scoop for the day.
Have a great day!

Sunday 2 -11 - 07
I've been on the internet today so long, my shoulders hurt. I was determined to catch up on my ads ..my internet chores. I didn't really catch up but made a little head way. It never ends anyway unless I end it.
I'm going to give my pc, shoulders, and brain a break.
cyl, Tere
