Happy Birthday Ginger!

It's hard to believe my "baby" is now 3 years old!! Ginger is such a big girl, and loved all of her presents. We had a small party with just our family, because Joe's parents couldn't come. I think that was the first time in 5 years that we celebrated a birthday without any additional family. (in Boise we had Wendy and Brian, and for a while my parents as well). We have almost a whole 9x13 chocolate cake with chocolate frosting left, and if I didn't just start on my diet, I would probably eat the whole thing myself. Instead, I have to think of a good way to dispose of it. I have considered feeding it to the chickens, throwing it in the trash, or sending it to school for Winter to hand out in class.

In lieu of Ginger's birthday, I decided to retrieve some kittens from the people that took them in almost a month ago. They live in Honey Grove, which is 45 minutes north east from. You thought we lived out in boonie land? Not anything compared to them. And the craziest thing is that the husband commutes into Addison, which is 2 hours each way, and has done this for the past 15 years.
The Brooks have had an explosion of kittens, and they have even lost track of how many they have. (they guess around 20). I picked out one of the kittens that I gave them. She is a calico, and has a really pretty light grey color. We also got a boy kitten, which is white, with large gray spots - like a cow. His eye is a little infected, but we are hoping to clear that up soon. I am really a sucker for kittens, and even though these are outside cats, one of them is currently sleeping on my lap.
