We hope this finds you had a very good night and the day is starting out well for you, too.
I've been up since about 4:00 a.m.; couldn't sleep. I'm (and Papa) are so excited about getting our new desk in and we got the computer and all the other equipment set up and running. So many cords! But we need them if we want to do all that we do.
I still have all the sorting through papers, etc. to do but I have a little more room in which to do it. And I will discarding a few things, as well.
We got 2 " of rain already and we had a little snow, too. Just as all our plants are coming up good we're supposed to get another freeze. We go through this every spring!
Hello! It's seems like it's been "forever" since I've left a comment on your page. I'm hoping this is the beginning of a return.
As you know, we have been very busy with Papa's father and family. We decided to tako off last Saturday to visit one of our sons and his family (out of town, of course) and had a great time of it!
We went early so we could have some private time with our 4 grandchildren. Later in the day the rest of this huge family arrived. Our daughter-in-law's family is wonderful! This is about the 3rd. we've gathered with them. Papa finds he has a lot in common with them since they are all farmers; that's the way he started out as a child and many years after.
Papa and Travis and our grandson, Jonathan, walked me down to the barn to see the neww feeder pigs and bucket calves. They are so sweet when they are that small! I grew up around these things so it brought me much pleasure, too. Jonathan will have some of the livestock for his 4-H project. (Jonathan is 11 now)
It was so peaceful out there! There was a soft breeze and little noise. We could have stayed forever there! We've always wanted a little acreage for that reason but it won't happen; we're where we're at for the rest of our lives. We get the noisy end of farming by living across from the grain elevator!
Papa has been trying to do a few odd jobs but he is having some problems with his joints and fybromyalgia right now; slows him down a lot.
We hope and pray you are doing okay. If not, put it God's hands. He will give you the strength and comfort to get through. Take care, Dear Friend.
