Yes I knew that but I also know that you were their first test Pilot so to speak. I miss you on these threads Gal. How is you Mother?

Well that’s a great lookin’ critter. Maybe you should bag one for some venison stew. LOL

We rarely eat beef any more ... it’s all venison so if Big Boy shows up during the daylight hours in the field or the yard, he has a good chance of becoming a roast, stew, chili, tenderloin medallions, venison mincemeat, and BBQ!

Mom’s doing fine (I think). I’m getting good reports from the private nurse we hired to check on her, and her letters seem fine. But, then my meddling sister in law (my husband’s sister) calls my daughter and has nothing but bad news. I can’t talk to her on the phone because her hearing is so bad, but I think she is doing as well in assisted living as can be expected.
Her complex is just lovely, and they wait on her hand and foot and feed her well. Much to my amazement, I find that part of her rent is tax deductible, so that will help. Now I have to figure out what to do with her house and the furniture that she didn’t take to assisted living with her. This is all hard to do “long distance”. And her books. 1000’s of books.

She's alive---ALIVE, I tell you! This just came in from JADB.
Dear (A-R) & (Mrs A-R),
Chris [editor: her son at Texas Tech] forwarded your email to me and I've never been so surprised or touched. I have to run this morning, but rest assured that I will get back to you soon!
Your friend,
_____ (JADB)
Thanks to fraidfortherepublic's tip about her son being a PR person for Texas Tech athletics, I was able to find & email him.
It can now officially be a HAPPY Thanksgiving; the Prodigal is found.
BTW, we won a turkey for our dinner from the local newspaper's contest; and I bagged a buck Saturday, so 1 less garden-muncher to feed; the winter wheat finally started sprouting; and after a month, the garlic is putting out roots: all is well in Applegate Ranch land.

Thank you for making contact. I hope you will let us all know what is up with JADB because we do miss her and miss her entertaining posts.
To: afraidfortherepublic
I’ll keep people updated, but hopefully will coax her to make an appearance herself.

I haven’t had more than 1 or 2 cucumbers for the last 2 summers. They just won’t grow to maturity. The summer of 2010 we had so many, I quit canning them after I got 52 jars processed.
