Please Come Home!

SOmetimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.  Sadly, today was a bug sort of day. #1 I have 4 cavities. FOUR. Quatro. What the heck?! The day continues... and right this very minute, I have one very sad little eight year old who, for the intense love of our turtle Athena Xena, brought her outside to be with us whilst we did some yard work for family night. An hour later Annie remembered her treasured pet, but Athena wasn't any where in sight.  We searched as best we could in the dark, but had to call it quits.  If she was a dog, she would have on a collar with ID or we could call her name and she would come bounding to us. Greek box turtles can't do any of that stuff.  Annie loves this pet, with all her whole heart.  The only reason she brought Athena outside is that she literally loves this turtle and just likes having her close.  We will launch a full scale search and rescue tomorrow, but for tonight, please join us in praying that our darling turtle will be safe this evening, and found asap tomorrow. Athena Xena, please come home!

Cleaning out our garden boxes.

Calvin mowed the back lawn.

Dessert: Donuts and chocolate milk.  In aboiut 15 minutes, we will discover that our turtle is taking herself on a campout. Lots of tears being shed tonight over her absence.
