This month has been insane.
- Camping
This was a blast the kids loved it, the weather was perfect for it
we cooked some really good campfire foods, played "redneck golf"
And spent good quality family time :)
- Getting goats ready for the fair
This was a way bigger job than I dreamed!! From teaching them to lead right
to clipping them, bathing them and getting them there, but when it got down to
Show time it was worth it all to see the kids out there showing their goats!
They showed toggenberg dairy goats and won first and second, grand and reserve
And Willies goat got best of breed, and it came down to his oat and one other for
best of show! I was so proud! And then for showmanship they all won first, but in
in the books Willie won it cause he got the plaque!!
- Family Death
Last week Bubbas Grandpas wife of 16 years passed away. This has been hard
on the whole family, many of the kids are heartbroken a lot of them thought of
her as a great-grandma. Their real Great-Grandma (Nanny Bradley) Passed
away 17 years ago, that was truly heartbreaking for the whole family. I was not
around for that but I truly wish I had been blessed enough to have met her.
Sue, his second wife loved there grandpa but as with anyone in that situation
she could never take her place. She had been sick a while on dialysis for years
and in and out of the hospital for the past month with pneumonia and then a
stroke, followed by many strokes. She lasted much longer than anyone thought
But did not die until all the family had been out to hospital to see her, We were
the last ones who had not been out there as soon as we left they had to put her
on morphine and she passed a little over 24 hrs later. She was loved and will
be missed. she was 75 years old.
- Trying to recover the house
Today I am trying to get the house back into order. It is crazy what a whole week
of not being home can do to a house!! This will be a big task that I must now get
back to work on before time to pick up the kids from school!!
