Busy Sunday! And yet another tortoise rescued!

The tortoise was actually outside the fence, but Frasier & Maggie were barking at it and Frasier was trying to get to it. So Otter went out through the gate and brought her back in, then we drove around to take her out to the cow field where we let the last one go. This one might possibly have been the same one Bill moved out of the back yard a couple of weeks back. It was not the same one that I relocated that same day, though. Otter really hopes to find one in the yard when Froggy is here!

Otter is home from camp. She got back yesterday, we carried her stuff in, she went straight to the shower and then even though it was only about 4:00 she got ready for bed. She said she was tired! She didn't actually go to bed until around 9:00 or so, but she didn't do much of anything beyond park on the couch and watch a movie on tv. She had a great time at camp. Wednesday morning is the next summer trip! We will probably leave the house about 5:30 in the morning to get her to the airport by 6:15. We have to be there one hour before her flight. I'm thinking we'll just run her through McDonalds or somewhere for breakfast, or possibly we'll hit a donut place for her. She wants to get her stuff packed tonight so that it's done and we don't have to do it tomorrow. I think waiting until the last minute for camp packing taught her a lesson about procrastinating - that it's better not to!

I'm still thinking about Dad-isms to post here. If anybody has any, please email me! I'll have more in the next few days.

I know you're glad she's home and I know you'll hate to see her leave again! Sounds like she's going to have a fun, busy summer!

We do not need to find any turtles.
Did she get the card that I sent her? dadism-Possesion is nine tenths of the law. and his favorite thing about presents was getting the receipt and returning them for the money. wehad watermelon yesterday and all I could think about were the seed fight we used to have and how he loved to eat the center part before anybody else.
