Remember, wherever they are at least stateside, they're going to get a real good holiday meal. The military sees to that. k<br />Prayers for you too, it's tough. I wonder if my parents cried like you when I couldn't get home for a holiday. If they did, they never said so.<br /><br />As for the chickens, have chased many in my lifetime. I remember a trick one of our Grandmothers used - a stick in each hand (usually one being a broom, the other maybe a rake or hoe) that she pointed out like a "V" with her body in the middle. Then she'd guide the chickens toward the coop and it seemed like she made the chicken think she was going to scoop them up with the sticks if they didn't go her way. Try it some time. I have and it works pretty well, even better if the dog isn't chasing them at the same time. sigh<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-646496883269609992014-11-05T17:35:13.962-08:002014-11-05T17:35:13.962-08:00I'm sorry you won't be seeing either one o...I'm sorry you won't be seeing either one of your kids for Thanksgiving.

That would drive me crazy wondering if they were getting the care and attention they need without their "mom" with them.<br /><br />Regarding chickens . . . they don't call them bird brains for nothing! Trying to catch a chicken that doesn't want to be caught can drive you crazy. (Although it's got to be good exercise.) I'd still never want to be without them though.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-84895949053748642332014-11-05T10:28:17.844-08:002014-11-05T10:28:17.844-08:00Susan, it is so hard for me to be patient in heari...Susan, it is so hard for me to be patient in hearing from either of them too. They are so busy, they don't always have time to buzz home.<br /><br />Patricia, you made me laugh about your chickens too. Today I had one that would not leave the coop so I could clean it.

It must be so difficult for both you and your kids to not be together for holidays. It's so important to remember their sacrifices in both war and non-war times.

...I know what you mean about having a clean table. <br />I want one! I told my daughter this morning over coffee-- I don't think my house is ever going to be clean again! <br />Feeling discouraged, under the weather...and tested on all points! <br />Oh! and the chickens... I believe they think our front covered porch is their coop away from coop! I have to get them off several times a day right now. I don't have time for it! <br />The poop is ridiculous! <br />crazy chickens. <br />Patricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.com
