And we are back HOME!

We are home again!

It was after 1:00 when we finally pulled out on the road.

Sherry and Dean were just coming in.

 Sherry hopped out of their truck, opened the gate, and waved us through!

That's why Louis Dean is smiling so big!

This is right across the road from the ranch.

These are Mr. Jackson's donkeys.

The cotton is growing - but not as well as last year.

To the left, not so good.

But right across the road - that field looks a little better!

Our big white truck was heading home.

See what I mean about the cotton not looking good?

The drought has been severe.

We saw a few fields that had already been harvested.

It will probably all be gone by the time we get back down here.

And just like that - we are back home.

Louis Dean is in charge of unloading and I put it all up.

We make a good team.

I gave him a haircut before he had a good long hot bath and then I found him napping in the guest room. He will probably get a second wind later tonight but I am about to go to bed.

Tomorrow we will visit the nursing home so I'm pretty sure he will practicing those Marty Robbins songs he's been working on. Lillian called me on the way home this afternoon and said she had a 2:00 doctor appointment - and could we come an hour later than normal? It really touched our hearts that she didn't want to miss our visit.

I baked a sour cream pound cake for the nursing home staff.

They have a hard job and Mother is requiring more attention lately.

They are so kind and professional. I didn't want to leave any of the workers out so I baked a whole cake just for them. No, Louis Dean! You may NOT have a piece of the cake!

But I DID cut a small salted caramel brownie for him.

I'm taking these to the ladies.....Mother, Lillian, Roberta and Brenda.

The washer and dryer have been running ever since we got home at 5:00 and they are still going.

However, I am going to cry Uncle and call this a day.

Only 9 more wake ups until September Morn!!
