We had such a good time going out to lunch with everyone...good food and good company (no kids)...what more could anyone ask for. Maybe a little drama? Well that is exactly what happened! We were still finishing up our lunches and the babysitter called...that in itself got my heart racing. The babysitter proceeds to tell me that a fawn...tiny little deer was stuck in/on my fence in the back yard. I didn't think too much of it until he said it was screaming...making a horrible crying sound that was upsetting the children. Well, those of you who know Dene know that she is a huge animal and baby lover and I could just see her having a break down. So we all ran out of the Cafe and hurried home to either rescue the deer or at least get the children away until someone could help. Reita called her husband to meet us there and that made me feel so much better. I called Cory and he felt useless...it would take him over an hour to get home.
My friend Mandi is a go to gal! She is a nurse (LPN) and had gloves in her truck. She put on the gloves and proceeded to the back yard to see what could be done. We didn't know if the fawn was impaled on the decorative fence or what so we were relieved to find out he was just stuck between rungs and his hips were too big to get through. Mandi saved the day and lifted the screaming deer up and released it back into the free world aka my neighborhood. I ran upstairs to get my camera but didn't make it out there in time. The kids were so happy that the deer was fine and everybody heaved a sigh of relief...what an exciting end to our nice peaceful lunch!
I really had a great time laughing with everyone...I think I laughed so hard I almost peed. We have to do that more often!
Sorry I have no pictures to go with the deer post...but at least I did think to take a picture...I was just too slow.
Later dudes

Thanks for planning that lunch and introducing us to that place, I can't wait to go back and get an italian soda and a smoothie, maybe next week?
