I’m recovering from the end of a four-day weekend (AM and I took Thursday and Friday off, as well as the standard Saturday/Sunday weekend).
We got Dexter neutered and had his shots updated.

We set up AM’s bike so [...]

AM and I took Mini to Mike’s Farm in Richlands on Saturday. It was rainy, so we skipped the hay-ride, but had a great dinner and got to feed all the animals.

A little more than an hour later we learned that the surgery was over. They were able to repair the arm without using an incision and, here’s the best news, we may [...]

Superphone had been out of commission because I forgot to plug it into the charger last night. I received a [...]
