Last night was a bad night. I went out at seven to milk the goats and started by putting all the others back in their pen. But I realized one was not there, which is strange because for the most part goats stick together. Well, to make it short, Bobo found her dead in the […]
I planted a bunch of stuff in what was supposed to be my dad’s garden today. I’m claiming it as mine now since I’ve done most of the work. *grin* I also have four rows of corn that are coming up quick. It is so exciting to watch them grow. And every time I plant […]
Firstly, the happiest of 7th birthdays to Dippy, the Squeakie (and strangely flexible). Well, I took KAIT THE GREAT to the airport this morning. And holy cow, I tell you what. See if I ever let her come again. She made me get up at 4:30 AM to get her there in time! But then […]
He’s a white belt Fly-Kwan-Do. In other news, my great friend Kaitlin is visiting with us this week. She’s all polite and stuff which always gives us a good laugh. I better go– she is making a skirt right now.
A few weeks ago Emmiko was swimming in our nasty pond when she came out shrieking (she often shrieks), "Coie, I had a snail stuck to my leg!" "Oh yeah? Did it have a shell?" "No, it was a….a….um….slug! And he wouldn’t get off so I had to whack him off and now I’M BLEEDING!" […]
“He’s the best dad I’ve ever had” some people will often joke. However, when I say this, it takes on a whole new meaning. My dad, Geoff Igarashi, is not my biological father. In fact, my name is not even Coie Igarashi. That is just what I have been known by for the last 13 […]
I was sitting at my computer minding my own business when I was suddenly attacked with this noise. “Bwahumawbluh!” And then a shriek, “Coie….my arm….FIX IT! Bwahumawbluh!” The bwahumawbluh and shriek had protruded from my momsie’s lips. She was holding her left arm and at first I was alarmed, especially since she […]
A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to start a sewing class. So I wrote out a big long thing and sent it to SOME GREAT PEOPLE who in turn sent the word out. I got some emails of people interested and even had to split it into two classes so that people […]
Yesterday my siblings were anxious to go swimming. They are not allowed to unless I sit out there and make sure no one drowns in our murky pond. I also put James in a life jacket, tie a rope around him and then tie the other end of the rope to the chair I’m sitting […]
There’s not many things more frustrating/gross than laying utterly exhausted in your bed and then suddenly finding out that your 3 year old brother wet himself in it a few days back while you were gone. Yuck. It’s been another busy weekend in Ig Town (thanks KAIT for giving me that idea). Dad and us […]
