This that and the other

We've been grooving right along here. Last weekend we rummaged and went to flea markets and got some great deals and I am so HIGH from that...we got the coolest reclining rocker chair for $12, a working antique sewing machine that works for $40, a great canister set for my flour, sugar for $1, a bread basket for 50 cents....

We've mostly been working through if we can make the land behind us workable for a farm so we won't have to move. Our neighbor, a nice guy, is willing to sell, but a lot of it is woods and rock. We would have to do lots of work to make it the farm we want to have. It's a plus in not having to move. We will see.

Lots has been going on w/ my Lucy girl, since I finally have her w/ a very good Vet. EXHALE. She has her on a different med, Anipryl and I'm starting to see the return of the girl I used to know a few years ago. I am ashamed that I didn't question the medication from the old vet, when he had her on phenobarbital even if he had seen her for many years, it just seemed a poor choice. But now she's on the right track. Even if she does have does have that Alzheimer's in dogs, it doesn't mean she can't have a good quality of life. Her other vet just sedated her. This new vet is actually treating her symptoms and actually giving her something to treat her disorder and she is getting better. She said she is an unique case in that she is a big dog living long enough to get this. I will take that as a compliment. But I sure wish Lucy didn't have to deal with it. I'm going to take her camping w/ me this weekend. It will be a girls weekend. I don't know how many I have left w/ her and I want to treasure them.

Hope all is well in your world, love love...
