Lowri - I had a blast today. I got to bark at people walking their dogs. I got to chase every bunny that even thought about coming near our yard. I got to root under the shed. I got to roll in the grass. I got to do anything I wanted to do because TM was gone. She was out learning to be a HAM.
I think she was already pretty much of a ham. She clowns around a lot. But, apparently, this was not a clowning kind of class. TM was studying to take the Ham radio operator test. She evidently studied hard, because she passed the test. At least I got fed before she left.
When she got home, we packed up and went to see Papa Ron. I love it at the farm. TM let Aidan, Daisy and me out while she played in the garden. She did some scowling at Aidan because he had dug up some of her strawberries. She replanted them and watered everything. Tomorrow I get to go herding. I can't wait!
Congrats on passing the test! My dad was a ham! W2UBS...W2 Uncle Baker Sugar....He had set schedules talking to people around the world and used to collect ham postcards from anyone in a new country. He even talked to the astronauts on some launch. He tried to get my sister and me interested as kids but it just didn't happen. He passed away in '94 so never really saw how small the world got thanks to the internet. Thanks for bringing up a lot of old memories!
