Just Goosin' Around . . . .

Yesterday was supposed to be a fairly normal day where family members would get caught up on what got neglected over the weekend.

When Goosie showed up at the Tibbs farm and started following my sister Laurie everywhere she went, even the usual chores got backed up a bit more. 

Turned out to be "Goose for a Day" for Laurie and anyone else who happened to be around. 

Goosie's gone now, but we're figuring on some upcoming sightings because folks on Facebook say that at least a pair of friendly Canadian honkers have been showing up, and, in one case, even inviting themselves into the house.

We didn't mind the goosie interlude because he/she has quite the outgoing personality: not afraid of horses, dogs or people and quite happy to take up one's time.  

Goosie liked the water trough and the kiddie pool.  We got to watch Goosie take a bath and quench its thirst. 

We worried that Goosie might be injured, but when we rounded the corner out of the barnyard and started running to see what Goosie would do, that set the scene for a smooth take-off. 

Ahh, Goosie could fly.  And, fly he/she did over across the highway and back before landing again smack dab in the middle of the pen where the horses were eating hay. 

Laurie was beginning to wonder if she was gonna get anything done, but when she went inside the arena to drag it, Goosie took off, not to be seen again, at least for yesterday. 

Maybe Goosie will come again, so our new "family" member from Switzerland will get to meet a Canadian---a honker, that is. 

Swiss Miss aka Laura should be in the air somewhere between Zurich and Seattle, then on to Spokane where she'll be greeted with open arms and much excitement. 

So, on this Tuesday, there'll be no goosin' around, just a lot of hubbub getting ready for another addition to the family fold. 

Willie says she'll be going to new-student orientation tomorrow night, so with the blink of an eye, she'll be fully immersed into her new American culture.

Fun times. 

Happy Tuesday.
