A Missionary in Ohio
Columbus Ohio Temple

Happy 20th Birthday!!!
It was transfer day on Derrek's birthday and wanted to make sure he had a good day. There is a Sister that lives about 2 hours away from Columbus (she is now in the Cincinnati mission) and has been, upon request, helping moms in the Columbus, Ohio mission by delivering a cake, balloons, and a treat bag. I am a part of the Missionary Moms Facebook Group and they had mentioned that if you wanted to do this for your son/daughter, to contact her. I really wanted to do this for Derrek, but at the same time hated asking someone to do it, especially since I didn't even know her. But, I realized that she offered because she wanted to do this and I thought it would really be great. I would want some mom to contact me and do this for her son if I was on the other side of things. So, I contacted Tina. She has this down! She started asking me about Derrek (favorite color, cake flavor, silly toys, candy, etc). She was going to Columbus for transfers to do a couple other birthday surprises for other missionaries and she said that Hilliard is on her way home, so if Derrek wasn't at transfers, she could still get it to him. She told me that she did see him at transfers, but didn't realize it was him because I had told her he was staying in Hilliard and she didn't expect to be looking for him at the mission home. But, she was able to contact him, thanks to Mike Wihl who gave me his cell number so that I could give it to Tina to get in touch with Derrek. Here are pictures of that occasion!
So, I guess the moral of the story is, you have gifts and talents that can be used to brighten someone's day...start small and then over time, like Tina, we can be doing it for the whole mission :). Tina said that her son served in the Oklahoma City Mission and there were moms there that did it for her son and that always stuck with her. This will definitely stick with me and when I have a chance, I would like to do it for our missionaries, too, passing on what someone did for me :). Thank you, Tina!!!

Is that bacon I smell, Mommy?
We left home for a couple of days last week for Mommy's birthday. It was pretty fun. The house was small and weird, but I guess I kind of liked it. We got to run around on the beach and play in the lake a little, but it sure was cold! Daddy built a fire both nights, and that was fun.
Otherwise, life has been kind of boring lately. I think I saw a few snowflakes the other day so that might make things a little more interesting if we'd get a foot of snow or two.
Gosh, we got back from the best vacation EVER! We all loaded up in the car and drove out to Wyoming to visit Auntie Diane. She has a couple dogs, too – Sumo and Artemis. Sumo was awesome, but that Artemis was a little bitch! She kept barking and snapping at me, and got really weird acting around Edmund. We went for walks in the neighborhood, and ran around in a field near a hospital. We also went to this ranch where Auntie Diane works and went for a great run in the field, and at one point on the hike, I tried to go make friends with some people on horses. Holy shit – you would have thought it was the end of the world the way Mommy and Daddy were screaming at me for doing that!
We were sure tired when we got back to Auntie Diane's house.
The most interesting part of the trip was yet to come, though. We loaded back up in the car and drove up into the Bighorn Mountains. Here's the funny part – Mommy and Daddy claim to be expert campers, but boy did they ever make a mess of that! We took a hike and got rained on, then ate cold food in the dark and climbed into a wet tent and tried to sleep while shivering and listening to a thunderstorm. As far as I'm concerned, camping sucks! I hope we never "go camping" again!! We dried out pretty good the next morning though.
At this point, Mommy and Daddy decided to do the smartest thing possible when we went about a mile down the road and checked into this joint called Wyoming High Country. These nice cowboy dudes were there and they pretty much let us have the run of the place. Wouldn't mind coming back here some day too!
Got a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa Stowe today. They have a little friend named Beau. He was a little skittish at first, but he eventually warmed up to us.
We went to this place called "up north" recently. Gosh, it sure was neat! We stayed in a little cabin that was even cozier than home, and there was a lake right outside and down a little trail! We went for some hikes and even ran around a little at the cabin. The owners of the place have an old dog named Poe, who wasn't too playful, but was kind of selfish with a tennis ball. I think I kind of pissed Poe off because I'd grab the ball and run off before he could get it, and he couldn't chase me down. All I really want is to play a good game of chase!
I got in a little trouble for this maneuver, though! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I hope we stay here forever. If we end up going home, I hope we come back again sometime soon!
It was a pretty boring year, so no blog posts until now. Mommy went away to a place called South Dakota, then to another place called Wyoming – for about 3 weeks! It was just me and Edmund and Daddy the whole time. What fun! Daddy fed us pizza and all kinds of crazy stuff that Mommy would never tolerate. Daddy was busy growing stuff in the yard for part of the summer, but then he dug it up and took it inside before me and Edmund could pee all over it.
It finally snowed the other day. I love it outside when it's cold, but Edmund is kind of a wimp and always wants to go back inside. I looked up where his breed is from, and it is mostly desert there, so I guess I can't blame him too much.
I'm getting used to having Edmund around. I've got to keep showing him who's boss! He's kind of a slow learner but eventually he catches on.
We hung out at this place called Kettle Moraine State Park today. It was great! There was a place where dogs that help hunters fetch stuff they shot can be trained, so it was a free-for-all. Normally Mommy and Daddy don't let us off leash in the State Parks, but this was great! The field went on and on. There was even a little stream where I splashed and played around, and then drank some of the water. What a fun day. I hope we come back here soon. I have a feeling we will!
Daddy's going away to this place called Seattle next week, though, and I'm already starting to get a little sad about that. I hope he doesn't stay too long!
Gosh, a lot has changed since I was out here the last time. The biggest news – Daddy showed up with this other dog a couple of months ago! His name is Edmund and they keep referring to him as my "brother". Funny, he doesn't look like a Husky/Shepherd to me! He is always eyeing my food – that I don't like. He drools a lot, too, especially in the kitchen, and ticks really seem to be attracted to him. He does like to play with me a lot more than Mommy and Daddy, though, so I guess it's not all bad.
Daddy took me to the field and I ran and ran and ran! Daddy says I turn one year old soon, so I guess this is my birthday present.
Today was a good day. I chilled on the couch most of the day…
Hi, my name is Xena … Warrior Princess Girl. At the time of this writing, I am 10 and a half months old, and I live with two humans, named Chad/Daddy and Eli/Mommy. They frequently confuse me, because I hear four different names, but I only see two of them. But I guess maybe that's cuz I've got four legs?? I'm not sure.
Yesterday, Daddy left for work in the morning, then shortly afterwards, Mommy left for work. She had left me a couple of carrots stuffed in my favorite blue gummy toy. Later that day, she came home from work. I was so happy to see her!! She let me outside, and when I came back in, she said to me "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" I guess I knew right away what she was talking about.
I just wanted to go back outside at this point… as you can see, I got a little bored during the day, and I just wasn't interested in those stupid carrots. Mommy put me back outside, but not before I captured this image:
When Daddy came home and I came back in the house with him, Mommy wouldn't talk to me for hours, or even look at me. That pillow stuffing sure was dry, and boy was I ever thirsty!
Well, I guess it didn't help that a couple of weeks ago, I chewed one of the sleeves of Mommy's fuzzy coat. So, last night before we all went to bed, Daddy brought up that crate thing I used to have to stay in during the day when they were gone. Oh shit, I hope I don't have to go back in that damn thing!
10/29/2007 (flashback to some time around July)
A right kerfuffle all right… assholes! I'm sure they're still laughing about this moment.

FK: i have a secret to tell you
Me: okay (i say excitedly, because i love gossip)
FK: but you can't tell anyone
Me: who would i tell?
FK: if you tell anyone it will be like a betrayal, you know? you'll betray me.
Me: (realizing something is up) well .... sometimes when kids tell adults secrets the adults have to tell someone because the secret is something bad and the adult has to do something about it. do you understand that?
FK: yes
Me: okay, so what is your secret?
FK: sometimes ... i don't behave so good .... i used to behave bad all the time ... but now i behave pretty good.
Me: yeah, sometimes you misbehave ... but usually you're really good. (then i say in a whisper) you're one of my favorite kids.
FK: but when i misbehave at school i tell my mom and then my mom tells my dad and he gets so angry at me and then he hits me with a belt
Me: that's not right. he shouldn't do that.
FK: yeah it makes me sad
Me: what does your mom do?
FK: well she's the one that tells my dad. sometimes they fight.
Me: yeah, but does she try to stop him ever?
FK: no ... she's with him. like, when he goes to the closet where the belts are she doesn't say anything to him
Me: wow, i am so sorry. i wish i could help you out. that's not right what's going on.
FK: yeah ... i don't usually get black and blues though ... it just gets red
Me: you know, life gets better ... you go to high school and if you do well you go to ...
FK: i know you go to college and you get a job
Me: no, that's not what i was going to say. you go to high school and if you do really well you can go to college and then you get to move out of your house
FK: but i love my family
Me: yeah, but sometimes you need to get away from your family. like i did really well in high school and then i got to go to a college upstate in the mountains and there were trees and we got to go sledding
FK: wow
Me: yeah, so if you do well in school you can go to college and go sledding
FK: didn't you miss your family?
Me: not so much
FK: i'd miss my family
Me: well, you can always call them on the phone ... but sometimes its best not to live with them

Oh man, Miss Librarian, I don't know if it's the PMS talking or what, but that's such a sad story, it kinda made me wanna cry.
Keep an eye on that little one. If you can keep the lines of communication open, you could be the confidant of the future. And A may need an ear again.

Yikes, that's scary! I agree with Ms Fifi. Keep an eye on him but at what point does that warrant a phone call to child services?

Spring Forward, Already
To accompany this hearty goodness, we again had the happy chance to compare two wines: an already open 2006 Château de Saint-Cosme Côtes-du-Rhône with a newly popped 2005 Domaine Beau Mistral Rasteau. They're both well-made wines, with the Rasteau having a bit more in the middle, and softer tannins; the extra year, "villages" distinction, and somewhat higher price all had to do with the difference. This dish was an excellent match with both. Our current storm (number 317 for this winter so far, but who's counting?) is rain instead of snow- there's no doubt we're warming up a bit, and very excited about it too. I think we had one period of three days where the ground didn't have snow on it this Winter.

I made a slow-roasted shoulder on Monday. It came out all shreddy like pulled pork. Yuummm. Served on a pile of Israeli couscous, it was just the best thing ever.
Lamb is a great alternative to steak, I couldn't agree more. The extra fat makes it much more forgiving to a neglectful cook, too. :)
- peter said...
I LOVE the slow-roasted lamb shoulder. It really is one of the best winter meals ever, though I like mine on puréed parsnips with a little vanilla.
- Heather said...
I love parsnips. I should get away from the Moroccan thing with my lamb dishes. I think I'm afraid to admit that the flavor of lamb makes me a bit squeamish, and so I just mask it with N. African spices. :\
I bought half a lamb 2 months ago, so I have plenty more to play with.
- peter said...
Hmmm. I love the lambyness of it, but you can't go wrong with Moroccan spices. I also like to add coffee- either as a rub or a shot of espresso in the braising liquid.

Just thinking out loud...
Kilt comes to mind when I think of this topic. I hear exhibitors say that if you have a good open dog they would make just as good a ranch dog. Not so sure, in my thinking. Yes, for some of them, but no, not for all of them. Can a ranch dog be a trial dog? I think yes. Can I trial dog be a ranch dog? I think yes. Can all ranch dogs be trial dogs and can all trial dogs be ranch dogs.....I think NO.
Lately we have been working "light" sheep at some of the trials and some of the trial dogs have had difficulty working them. The sheep picked out the dogs instantly. How fast do you think stock pick out a weak dog on a ranch? Pretty darn quickly. Soon you have a dog that doesn't want confrontation and you're looking to replace him with something else. Sheep are far from dumb. Once they have a dog's number, they don't forget.
I see Kilt take care of business that Jet and Yoko wouldn't even consider. Jet was a great first dog, and Yoko has lots of nice qualities. But, Kilt has GRIT and INDEPENDENT thinking going on for her. Just the other morning I was trying to sort some specific sheep out of a flock of 100 goats and sheep. A couple of goats slipped through. I NEVER have to say anything to Kilt. This girl is so savvy. She can wrangle a goat like no other. And, sometimes they need some wrangling. :0) And, if any sheep or goat think about leaving a holding area with a gate open, think again if Kilt is watching. This is what I LOVE about KILT.
Kilt is very difficult for me to handle in an open trial. You've all heard me whine about it. Why is she so difficult for me to get a handle on at a trial? Because, she likes to take control. She will team up once in awhile, but sometimes I don't know what her game plan is. Wayne loves her, because you can always count on her to bring you sheep.
I do hope that I can breed this bitch again. She is athletic, has fabulous endurance, good eyes, and OFA excellent hips. I'm still thinking about what may be a good cross. I like an independent thinker. It won't exactly help me in trial competition, but that's okay in my book. I love Kilt's qualities. Well, maybe I wish she wasn't as "snarky" as she is with other strange dogs. She's a bitch, that's for sure. :0)
Not sure what the future holds ahead of us, but it's fun thinking about it. :0)
