Fish Tacos!

Today has been a great day. Ben came over early this morning to drink coffee and to eat breakfast with us, before he and Tony went outside to do the morning chores.

Our fabulous volunteers, June and Jim and Ruth, Jim's visiting sister-in-law, came out this morning to walk our dogs for us and we loved it, but our dogs loved it even more.

During a break, after Ruth had walked Guinevere and Underdog she told me that she was a big Kinky fan, so I picked up the phone and called Kink. "Kinky, can I bring Ruth over to meet you? She's..."

Five minutes later, I was introducing Ruth to Kinky, out by the front gate and then we went into the Lodge for a short, but fun visit with him and The Friedmans and Ben's two dogs Valerie and Penny. And before we left the Lodge, I shot Kinky and Ruth, so she could show the picture to her friends and family.


As Kermit took us safely back to the rescue ranch I could tell that Ruth was on Cloud Nine, because she had gotten to meet Kinky, tour the Lodge, meet The Friedmans and Ben's dogs, "The Girls From Austin," sit in a rocker, on his front porch and visit with him, as we watched his Hummingbirds feed from his many feeders. "He is such a nice man! I can't believe I got to meet him and..." She said, as we arrived back at the rescue ranch.

Early this afternoon, Ben and I had a lot of fun making lunch for the three of us. While Tony was back in his office, listening to his country music, we turned on my iPod and cranked up the volume and we started singing Sweet Emotion with Aerosmith.

A minute later, when Tone walked into the big room, he laughed and started teasing us about liking Aerosmith's music, because he only likes country music, so Ben and I quit cooking, for a minute and we started cutting-up (dancing) around the living room, like Ellen DeGeneres does on the beginning of her television show and Tony thought it was pretty hilarious, with our exaggerated dance moves, because I can't dance like the kids do nowadays. 

When that great song had ended and Alison Krauss began singing, we quit dancing and finished frying up our planko-breaded shrimp, for our fish tacos. Our late lunch was totally delicious. Ben ate three fish tacos, Tony ate two, overly- stuffed with shrimp, tacos and I ate just one fish taco and we still had plenty of shrimp left over, for T.'s and my lunch tomorrow. 

At 3:00, two nice women came out to possibly adopt a dog from us and they really liked Guinevere, the sweet Corgi/Sheltie mix, so please keep your finger's crossed for her, that she gets adopted tomorrow.


Around 6:00 this evening, we had more good news, because Rick and Leisa called, from Port A, to tell us that they would be coming to see us Sunday evening, instead of Monday and we can't wait to see them. And that is about it for tonight.

Y'all have a great evening!
