Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

Very happy for you!
It is also fantastic that you have several herdies nearby. How great is that!

Lunch, good company and good conversation is ALWAYS a good thing!

Ah yes! FOOD, FUN AND FELLOWSHIP at it's finest!!! We did have a great time!

Latestarter got the grand tour of the property. I had already seen most of it, but some was improvements that had been done since the last time we visited. It was fun to see sky through the trees of the previous tightly woven briar patch. So nice to see the sheep browsing. Their deep throated baa is similar, but different from our goats - which is much higher pitched.

During the tour, Bay got a text from her DD. It was a photo of 5 month old granddaughter, that was hilarious. It seemed that she had grabbed her hair and was pulling it - crying all the while, because, someone was pulling her hair! We got a huge laugh over that one. Kids say the darnedest things. But, babies do the cutest things!

I had never seen the barn up close, so we walked over and through it. Y'all may think I'm weird, but it has been YEARS since I have been up close and personal with a horse. So when big, white, blue eyed Joe came up, from behind, right next to me, it gave me a start. Once I recovered, it was so nice to be able to pet and talk to him. Next the mule (I can't remember his name) came up for some pets & conversation. He is the offspring of their mare, whom I didn't get to meet. She kept to herself.

I haven't found a brookshires near me yet, but will try them next.

Joke's on you! Brookshire's is just around the corner from Super1Foods.
It's on State Road 49, just up from Outlaw's Bar-B-Que.

Congrats on the move and FINALLY being a farm owner!!!!

Congratulations friend! !!

We're usually pretty tight on schedules around here so I need to know ahead of time! My one off day a week is usually preplanned because I don't know how to relax, just ask my husband!

We do need to come up that way and see the place though.

Congratulations on getting through all of this in record time. Now the fun begins and the to do list will be growing. I have a white board in my kitchen that is supposed to be a list of tasks for DH on the weekends (his idea) but it is really a list of tasks for me as I will think of things at 2 AM and if I don't write it down then by 8 AM I have forgotten what I needed to do. I used to laugh at my mom and her lists...now I understand.

My wife says the same thing

So we know the people had a good time at @Baymule's but how about Mel?

I keep my Lists in a steno notebook since it would be hard to manage a single sheet of paper. I get so many things "almost" done that I have to set aside one or two days every once in awhile to get the almost done things really done.

"Almost done" is my nemesis. We have a bad habit of getting things to the functional stage and then moving on to the next "fire". It isn't that we want to live that way, but it happens more often than not. Part of it is the proverbial trying to squeeze 50 lbs of potatoes into a 10 lb sack; that is what happens when DH is only home 3 days a week, we have to pick and choose the most important project of the weekend.

Mel stayed home, but Latestarter got to play with Trip and Paris.

We know all about that, Babs! One of our first projects is yet to be "finished". We built a nice chicken coop and painted it barn red. One of these days, we will find time to cut the trim boards, paint them white and get them nailed to the coop. It seems like the hurried-er we go, the further behind we get!
