SNOW DAY!

We can't say that very much at our place...but today was truly one. That is because Wednesdays are usually the day that the kids go to Jackson to Pioneers to do their Co-op classes. Well they cancelled classes, as did all of the schools in our County as well.

Erik had fun last night with friends who showed up on their sleds (snowmobiles) and they cruised around for a couple of hours. When he got back home, he had to work to get warmed back up...it was cold out!!

The boys are on their way to their annual trek to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville today. They said weather wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Travel between Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis was knuckle gripping. Lots of black ice...but they made it through. As I complete this they should be about getting there. They will be back tomorrow evening.

Katie and I will keep busy keeping the home fires burning. We went over and tied up the 4-H steers this morning to further prepare in bringing them home. We like them to be halter broke so we can tie them in the horse trailer. I know, laugh if you must, you hardcore livestock people, but we only have a horse trailer, so that is what we use, dividers and all. :) We actually take them to the fair together...two steers and a horse...it works!

So the girls will take care of things here, we also have some practices and appointments tonight and tomorrow, so we may eat a meal out as well.

I must wish my brother Don, who lives in Greenville, S.C. a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He is 48 today and is my second oldest brother. He was born the same year as Doug and I am significantly younger...enough said about that!!!

I hope you all have a good day and enjoy the weather where you are.

Be blessed~

  1. I was wondering if they were going to get out on the snowmobiles last night. I heard a few near our place....sounded like fun! :D

    I can't wait to bring my steer home. I was thinking earlier that if I had mine home right now, he'd be getting a walk and some fresh air. lol
