Got Any Goat Names?

We have a new goat to help Chase out with the weeds! But, we are having a tough time naming him and we need some help.

We've thought of Houdini, because he can get out of the fence we put him in; our neighbor girl thought of Stripes, because he is gray and white striped;

Carl likes initials....so how about GG (Gray Goat)?; we both like Max, for Maxwell Smart. When he grows up he is going to have a long white beard! He likes to bully our little Goober lamb and get his horns underneath him and try and lift him up. Hmmmm. There might be some names for him!

Let us know what you think....do you have another name for us to try? Or do you like one of the ones we thought of? Take a look at ??????????

I guess the next best thing to going on a trip, is having someone make you their trip! Thanks for coming to visit with us, Mom and Linda! They traveled up through Montana--Lolo Pass & Glacier National Park-- ; North & South Dakota,--Mt. Rushmore & Crazy Horse Memorial & a tornado!--; and then across Wyoming to Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole and the Tetons; and down to Utah--US!

They saw some beautiful sights and Linda drove many miles---no accidents or troubles except for a tornado lit down 30 miles from them and they were hit with hailstones the size of marbles. We had a great time here, visiting and shopping, eating kabobs & sweet pork burritos, going on a Casper run for Hot Fudge Sundaes (Mom's weakness!) , and playing a good game of Outburst!

It was great to have Michele, Wayne & Olivia over. Olivia finally warmed up to her great grandmother and Linda. Wayne got beat, yet again, by Grandma (better practice up, Wayne!) We got in a few family pictures. Enjoy!

Write in Stone

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument. One friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but, without saying anything, wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend save him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life

The friend who had slapped and saved his bests friend asked him, After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone. Why?

The friend replied: When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand, where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.

But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.

May we learn to write your hurts in the sand and carve our kindnesses in stone.
