Egg-citement!

Yesterday, Robb, Meri and I drove to my old hometown to get photos of my Mom with her eyes shut again.

Can NEVER have too many of those! :)

My dad is doing great and I watched him do some physical therapy because the physical therapy Nazis said that he had to work out for 7 more minutes, who CARES who's waiting to see him!

Us girls went and picked up pizzas and showed it off in front of the other residents as we walked past them to eat in the activity room.  Then later when Dad was taken away to do more physical therapy, (they are RUTHLESS!) We girls went thrifting and found several items that piqued our interests.

Robb worked on Mom's new laptop and got a ton of things uninstalled that had come pre-installed and he got it looking as much like her old computer at home as possible.  So if she can get connected to the internet easily, then I can connect via Teamviewer to her laptop and help her out when needed.  Teamviewer is pretty slick!  AND free!  Can't beat THAT!

We had to leave around 4 so the dogs back home wouldn't freak out from being stuck in the house all day.

Meri had been animal sitting for a friend all week and they had told us that we could take whatever eggs the chickens gave during this time.  The first night was about 40 eggs, the next night around 30...  Yeah... Do you see where this is going?  High cholesterol city!!!  Especially before Easter, which is another high cholesterol time of year.  Oh well...  

Leon loved helping round up the chickens at night and get them back into their coop.  He even caught one and tossed it in himself!  They also had rabbits and a horse to care for so Meri took it very seriously and did an excellent job.  They rewarded her well, besides the eggs!

I can't believe today is Friday!  It seems like a Monday after taking two non consecutive days off this week... We're taking Leon to the circus tomorrow!  WOOHOO!  He's going to have a blast and I'm going to need to bring extra batteries for my camera.

On Sunday, I get to see my middle child!!!  Her college choir is giving a concert and I will NOT miss it!
 
Talk at you Monday!

I bet that chicken was a little surprised - way to go Leon! When I was around Leon's age an old rooster we had landed on my back and gave me some good scratches. It took me awhile to be brave enough to go back into the chicken coop to collect eggs. Stupid rooster!

that's a lot of eggs. We are having friend egg sandwiches for supper tonight as I have a few eggs hanging about, but not as many as you do!!

Good grief, what are you going to do with SOOOOOOOO many eggs? I would be panicking a bit. Hand them out to the neighbors? No wait, egg houses. Ok problem solved.

Leave those eggs on the counter. They will be old enough by Easter to boil and peel easily. Boil some for use later--egg salad, egg sandwiches, potato salad. Eggs do not elevate cholesterol. That is old, wrong information. I can see plates of steaming scrambled eggs!
