It's a little "Snakeye", -- plus other tidbits....

What's a snakeye you ask?? Actually that's Travis' callsign, his 'handle' in the F-16 community! Anyway, the 10th was Pam's birthday AND the day of the BIG ultrasound! Travis got back from his deployment on Wednesday, just in time for one sleepover and a trip to the doctors for the ultrasound. So he got to see firsthand whether his offspring was going to be a little Pammie or a little 'Snakeye'! For 'pics' of our new little grandson, see Travis' blog - http://www.snakeye.us/ .
Speaking of babies, my grandkittens are growing and at 8 days old, their eyes are opening. I had looked on the web and they said they open around day 17! So it was a surprise to see them opening on day 8!!! Also, see how they've grown from birth to almost 9 days old.
And look what a contented mom Kitty is when the babies are all foraging around for a meal!
I have one last "show and tell". A couple of nights ago we had severe wind warnings! To me, it seems like we have severe winds at least 2 or 3 times a week! I walked around the house to check water in the trough for the horses and alas, the arbor/trellis that's probably been there for 20 - 30 years was as you can see!!! There's ONE root still connected to the vine. I understand it's a pretty hardy plant and the trellis itself isn't broken. It must have come loose with all the rain and wind plus the foundation work that was done a few months ago! The winds also blow tiles off the roof (OFTEN!) - we just finished with roof repair last week!! So goes life on the ranch!! : )

Judy. Thanks so much for the picture you left at camp. Chad and I were going to drop by sunday, however it did not look like you guys were home. We will be back in a couple of weeks, and hoped Mike would join us for steaks and a campfire. You can email me at biggiantbuilder@yahoo.com. Thanks again Mike Yost
