Well, since I've last posted I have not accomplished much as far as preparations for the fair! ZB made a trial batch of snickerdoodles yesterday, we have dropped some weight on the heavy lambs and added some to the skinny ones. Art projects are still sitting on my hutch in the dining room....waiting.....waiting....waiting. Wednesday night we will go to our extension office for photography mounting stuff...that will at least be done. In the middle of all this...I've received our enrollment packets for school. They must be turned in BEFORE the fair. YUK. I had planned on Sat to make breakfast burritos to put into the freezer. We stopped by Braums to get milk, eggs and sausage and toodled on home. Yep we did...as I open the back door of my van on NOON SUNDAY after church---guess what I found?!?!?!?!?!?!? You know it, my groceries from the night before. I'm pretty sure I had 2 dozen hard boiled eggs in there, it was so hot. I'm telling ya, my brain cannot hold any more information. I swear some days it's smoking from overload. Last night ZB and I stopped and bought another gallon of milk, 2 dozen eggs and 2# of sausage and talked about the groceries all the way home...and they did make it into the fridge. Whew! Still haven't got to the burrito project. Maybe tomorrow.
Tonite I'm happy to be showered and de-sheeped....is that even a real phrase? In my mind, right now, it is. They are stinkin animals, I'll take cattle/horses any day over these 8 lambs. I did get some pics though. The boys worked pretty hard tonite with their sheep. Everything will be fine by fair time. It always is.
We are so darn busy at work....school/sports physicals, kindergarten shots, you name it we're seeing it. We always do pick up more than we already are this time every year. Sports will be starting so soon. This won't include the MAD rush we'll get of kids calling the day they start their sport. Nothing like planning ahead huh?
Yesterday was my mom's 67th birthday....she definitely doesn't look it. She went to church with us and then we took her to eat Neives' and then she and I took a big shopping spree to JCPenneys---it was fun, we weren't rushed, nobody dinging me, are we ready to leave? can I have this? where's the bathroom? Are we almost done? It was so nice. I came home with absolutely nothing, zilch, Nadda....not for lack of trying. Everything these days is STUPID looking. I hate the styles right now and we have no western store in town--that carries clothing. I was really frustrated by the time we left. I just need some nice shirts/blouses...something that doesn't look like a maternity top or something that was in style when I was about 8-10 yrs old...and jeans that are not cut out for people with stick legs--no butt and no waist.. Am I the only woman around that has big thighs a butt and a waist?Why no I'm not, I just have no idea where they shop!!! Oh well....
I'm going to go ahead and step down from my soap box and post some pics! Enjoy.

Your Mom does not look 67. She ia amazing. This is very encouraging to me. I look at Gram and your Mom and your Grandmother and I am very hopeful. None of them have ever looked their age. I really understand your plight about clothes. I had to laugh. Brenna, Kelli and I went shopping and everything looked like it was from the 80's. Really, I saw shoulderpads in shirts! They know me at Tractor Supply. Partly because that's where I buy feed, but also because I buy a lot of clothes there. Which stinks because they don't have a big selection.
Oh girl, Oh girl, Oh girl! Sheep do stink! Your mom looks great for 67! Do you know how much butt-crack I've shown because I tried to pour myself into a pair of no butt jeans! An yes. . . everything does look like maternity!
