New Dishwasher

Well we finally gave up on our old dishwasher. It was going on 20 years old and became so noisy that we had to yell to eachother when it was running. So we finally put it to rest and got ourselves a new super-duper consumers best buy kenmore dishwasher. It took a couple of tries before we got it just right (and not leaking water). It runs so quiet that I don't even notice it is going.

Jenn, Brian and the girls came over for dinner. It was nice to see them with their kids growing so fast and all. Kalena is getting quite big and is at the 100% percentile of length Jenn said. She is a sweet happy baby and says she likes her Aunt Mel the best. Emma was also a very good girl, entertaining herself the whole time. She did great right up until the end when she had fun rubbing ice cream all over her arms.

Brian went and checked out my chickens for me. It turns out we have one rooster and two hens. We heard a soft cock-a-doodle this morning and suspected out three hens where not what they seemed. Brian even showed me how to feel their hip bones to see if they were laying or not (mine are not). Ada has some big abscess/swelling in the back of her mouth. If it isn't gone in the morning we will have to do a visit to the vet. She has the stinky breath going so she will probably need some antibiotics at the very least.

That is all for my updates for now- Mel
