Yesterday afternoon we said goodbye to another of our cats, just seven weeks after losing one of our calicos, Peanut. This time it was our tortie, Pumpkin. She had a sore above her anus that wouldn't heal and when examined by the vet weeks earlier, she felt a lump inside. She did well for a few weeks and then gradually quit eating. At that point I knew it was just a matter of time. She is deeply missed.
Who would've thought when we got married, Dave and I would be living on a small, okay, very small ranch (three acres worth) in South Central Iowa years later? Not me, that's for sure! But here we are living on our little pony ranch. We no longer have any ponies, but we used to have three, so we, okay I did, but Dave agreed, suitably named the place, "Ain't Many Acres Pony Ranch." We love it here.

My prayers have been answered!
David got a new job!
The day he went for the interview I said a prayer that he would get the job. When he didn't hear from them in the alloted time, I thought, "Shucks, another one he didn't get." Well this morning he got the call that he got the job. He starts Monday morning. I pray he keeps on the straight and narrow and keeps this one.
The good thing is that this one is closer than the others he had, so less wear on the cars and less gas being used and if we need gas, we can get it right there, which is where I usually get gas anyway, so it's a win win.
I'm doing an imaginary happy dance right now. THANK YOU, LORD!
