Illinois: Day 10 (Part Two)

This portion of the blog is dedicated to my sister...

Grandma Edi made some cranberry bran muffins for Rick & Ronnie's trip out to Wyoming. Mom, Dad, Evan, and I went out to the farm to deliver them last night. Rick was SO excited to see us and wanted to show us all of the animals. He just got 5 new hens and a rooster ("Dave! You've got to see my new chickens!"). Evan wanted to follow them but wouldn't get too close...

Rick wanted to show us the "black and white kittens." As we walked into the barn he explained that the mamma skunk was killed on the highway so he set up a water jar and an iron skillet of dog food for the two babies. ("Dave! They've been eatin' it! It was smooth just a half hour ago and now you can see they've eaten' some!") Fortunately the "kittens" were hiding and we didn't get to see them.

We had to say goodbye to "Ruby" because she is going to live in Wyoming. Evan watched closely as Rick fed Ruby some carrots...

Then Evan fed Rick a carrot...

Rick says "Carrots are good for everybody!"

Hi Jen. We won't be able to meet on Wednesday. Jason just called this morning and asked us to meet him in Bloomington. It's his only time off this week. Could we meet another day? I have a hair apt. at 11:30 on Thursday, but will be free the rest of the day and am free on Friday, but I figured you may be busy on the 4th of July. Just let me know.

You can e-mail me at eroemer7@gmail.com

Love,
Emmary
