It is a very foggy morning as we headed out !!!
Dropped RL at pre-school and IR and I made it to market early. Hubbie was already there and we got unloaded and set up while IR slept.
We woke her up and fed her breakfast because Connie her other g-ma has to drive right back down to Green Creek in Polk county to meet with a cabinet maker at her new house hoping IR would sleep through the meeting.
After she left with her hubbie visited with some friends then left to get his errands done and get the tires rotated on his truck.
I had a very slow day today as expected only selling a couple 1/4 cakes and some brownies but I did sell all my eggs today which made for an over $40 day.
Hubbie came back to market and brought our lunch of a sub sandwich about 1:00. We have a meeting at the bank at 2:00 so he hung around and helped me load back up and then went to our meeting.
After the bank business was done he left to make a stop at Sam's Club and I made stops at Sav Mor and Aldi for baking supplies and groceries.
He beat me home and helped daughter load Tipper her dog who is staying with us up for a vet appointment. Tipper is having ear troubles again.
He helped me unload and get things put away when I got home and then we rested and watched the early news until daughter got back with Tipper. The vet gave her 3 meds and a shot her poor ears were so infected. She thinks it is a food allergy maybe so daughter picked her up some different food on the way back here with her.
We went outside in the record breaking 79 degree temps in our shirt sleeves to do chores this evening!
Hubbie fed the cattle another roll of hay since Aa isn't going to get in from his trip to Arizona to a sod grass convention until later tonight.
G-son and G-daughter RL came to stay tonight while their mom went to music practice at church until their dad got home from work.
RL loved the warm evening outside with us finishing the chores.
Just after a couple days of the warmer than normal temps there is a lot of green things popping up such as these Chives in this pot .
And maybe it's just my longing this year for a warm spring but even the lawn and pasture grass seem to have more green today !!!
My thoughts and prayers go all the way south tonight to Parkland, Florida to the families and friends of the 17 victims of the another senseless school shooting at a high school yesterday.
Terrified students file by police offices with their hands up and visible.
A former 19 year old student at this high school who was kicked out brought an AR-15 assault riffle into the school and opened fire apparently randomly killing 2 teachers and 15 students and sending 14 more injured to area hospitals.
What happens in the minds of these young men that make them take their anger out on innocent school staff and students is a mystery that probably will never be solved.
The answer to this in my opinion has nothing to do with gun control, guns are everywhere and anyone who has enough money can get hold of these guns so we need to recognize the need for more mental health treatment and more education to recognize mental problems when they occur.
When Obama care was voted in mental health clinics and hospitals took a major hit and many closed leaving no one to deal with this problem in many places. We need to focus more on these needs and hopefully recognize more of these tendencies before they become mass killings.
I'll get off my soapbox now !!
I pray for the families of these high school students who had their lives cut so senselessly short and I pray for all our school staff and students that these shootings may be caught and stopped before anyone loses their life.
We need to get God back into our schools !!!!
God Bless and Good Night.

Your little "sign" at the end of your blog says it all - God is not allowed in our schools. I, like you, don't believe gun control will solve this problem . Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Mental health issues among our young people today is the real problem here. That and parents not being involved enough in their child's life. Kids today have a hard time dealing with real life issues. May we need more GOD in our lives - especially in our children lives. Now I will get off my soapbox. Haha Blessings to you and the family and God keep you all in His loving arms.
