It’s been a long couple of days as Sassy, my trusty steed of 29 years, has started to decline again. Tomorrow we have a new veterinarian coming to try to help. The only thing missing from this photo of medical supplies is a piece of my heart, which is still outside with her in her stall tonight.
We went to a kid rodeo today and saw mutton bustin’ for the first time. If you’re not familiar, it’s like bull riding but on a sheep and meant for little kids to learn. The sheep just haul tail as fast as they can. Most kids fall off in less than a second or two. This kid was not letting his sheep get off so easy.
It’s that time of year again when my neighbors stare at me like I’m totally insane (wait that’s everyday) while I take an early morning dip in the cow water trough.

Sydney Sweeney, who? Check out my grandmom Dorothy (Dr. Chip’s mom, I call her “Granny”), on her 99th birthday yesterday. She has 6 children and 9 grandchildren along with a bunch of great grandkids. The second photo shows my dad’s oldest brother and youngest sister, my Uncle Ned and Aunt Karil. My grandfather was a pediatrician who did house calls, and Granny went back to school to be a nurse once her kids were older. She was able to reverse Type 2 diabetes with diet changes. One of those, my dad got her to start drinking kefir daily years ago. But perhaps her best practice: she never refuses the chance to take an afternoon nap, and the older I get, the more I’m with her on the value of rest. Here’s to 100 next year!
It goes down easier when you recognize:
1) Our nation is a model of Rome. Which had it and more, all legal.
2) We are not, never were and never will be a "Christian nation".
3) The Church is to spread The Gospel. We have no letters from Apostles to Caesar to put a Christian veneer on lifestyle laws.
