"You wrote why the world doesn't need a savior, but everyday I hear them crying for one."
Jesus is that Savior!! He hears your cries and He answers them...but only in His time.
Isn't he just so handsome?! I'm taken yet again! :) He is so very precious and I am just so happy to have another baby brother to love and hold! :D I know that picture isn't enough, so here is more:
I've been working the night shift with Rachel for the family since we have a sick goat who can't get up if she falls, so we have to continue checking on her every so often. While I don't particularly like sleeping during the day, the benefits of staying up all night is I get to see Moon and I get to see this:
and that I guess makes up for not sleeping. :D Look at those colors and those clouds! Gorgeous! It's a Beloved Dawn... kinda like my name. ;)
I wanted to be a nurse... be careful what you say... God has a sense of humor. :) If you know me, you know I. do. not. like. goats! period! I never have. They kinda creep me out. But like I said... I always wanted to be a nurse... and now I'm a goat nurse. I've mastered giving goats shots... like with needles. :O Done it so much that I could walk you through giving one, actually here... I'll just show you.
That shot was 10cc of C&D Antitoxin of Equine Origin meaning you don't WANT to know what its made of... but it smells nasty and it lingers! bleh!
I remember the first shot I gave. It was about 2 years ago to one of the older goats and it was a 6cc shot of penicillin. I had read up on how to give the shot, but was so worried I would hurt the goat when I did it. It wasn't too bad tho. Since giving that particular goat a shot, I've given a lot more shots and she was definitely easier than some of the other goats I've shot up. :P
Here I sit doing nothing in particular, (weird, huh?) on this Labor Day. I've never actually understood the concept of Labor Day. You'd think that Labor Day would be the day we all labor on which would be nice since it would leave us with 364 days of no labor, right? :P Yeah, I know... I'm a dreamer. Anyway, here I sit not laboring, looking for something on Vostro and came the the folder dubbed, "Construction" which has all the pictures of all the work we did in May and June trying to finish the addition. As I was looking through the pictures I remembered I never showed y'all the doors I labored on even tho I Facebooked and Twittered about them ALL THE TIME! So what a perfect post for this Labor Day, right? Well I think so... so here they are :)
I had 4 doors that looked like this:
that went from that to this:
to this:
I stained them first and was going to do another coat of stain, but didn't need to since they were darker than we really wanted. So I stained once, but put 2 coats of polyurethane on all four doors. It doesn't sound like much, but it was a took me about a week for all four of them to be complete. Plus it was kinda confusing because you had to let the coats dry completely before adding another and sometimes I forgot which doors I did and which I didn't. :P
I also had to do all the frames around the doors:
And since those were already up, it was tedious standing there and staining/polyurethaning them. But they got done and they turned out wonderful! :D
Now... those doors were the easy part! I also had a set plus one of French doors with 15 window panes ON. EACH. SIDE. which equals to 75 window panes to stain! WHEW! talk about tedious! Word to the wise... Don't buy french doors! :P
So this what they looked like in the beginning:
I ended up staining these twice because the wood was different than the other doors and took the stain differently so I technically stained 150 window panes! :O
After I stained them twice, I added two coats of polyurethane... which is another 150. LOL! very tedious, but the end result is worth it:
