Oh, man! I wish I could go with you. But actually going is a problem for me. I'd love to go and do lots of trips, but it's so hard for me to leave my home and animals. Be sure to take lots of pictures for us. I'd really love to go to the tortoise conference thing in Arizona, but it's a pipe dream.
I know. I was thinking of ask you to come along also but I know your daughter are in the treatment now, it will be hard to ask her to come and take care all your torts while you are away. Maybe next time Yvonne.

I will for sure to take lots photo, I'm excited to meet the young Kelly also.

*hugs* I know it is tough to be able to not do anything, but just your being there is helping. She doesn't want help, because that's allowing cancer to win a round in her mind.

No, she doesn't want help because she is her mother's daughter. I'm sorry this is happening to her Yvonne.

Sunday when I did my GORUCK event, I managed to run straight into a street sign and get my shoulder good and bruised! My pride was probably hurt more than anything, but I'm still quite uncomfortable.
I also went "swimming" in the ocean up here in RI during the event, and rolled around in sand because the Cadre told us to because we needed to be uncomfortable. Yes I pay to do these things and yes I call them fun.

He is six hours away from my house. I'll probably drive down Friday afternoon.

My day's half over. I just don't have the stamina I used to have. I can only work outside until lunchtime. Misty starts pestering me at 11a, her meal time, and by that time I'm so tired I'm ready to give in to her. But I'm quite happy to have something to do. I love building fences and making tortoise yards. I'm sorry to see my rustic-looking grape stake fence go, but so many turtles were escaping and I couldn't find the escape route, so it's time for a new fence.

Good bye grape stake fence:

You can see how the existing fence on the left in the picture is leaning. I don't think I have enough lumber to replace the inner fences that separate the subspecies, but I do have enough to replace the whole perimeter fence.
