Catching Up on the News

I had a wonderful day yesterday. Donna B. and her girls met my daughter and me in a small town that falls about half way between our homes. We ate our lunch at Culver’s and then visited a park where the older children could play tennis and Katie could explore all the new play equipment. What a sweet time it was! My daughter returned home with something she did not have before—her driver’s license. I’d much rather have wrapped her in bubble wrap than give her that little card. Who says old folks aren’t as adventuresome as their children? We bravely hand them the car keys and say, “Drive safely!” That has got to be one of the most insane things a parent can do!!

Earlier this week the whole family went out to the pasture to herd the cattle into a pen. We sorted them by pairs and took them to the big pasture. We have to load the mommies and the calves on the trailer at the same time so that when we drop them off at the pasture they do not get into trouble searching for each other—we do not want a mommy headed back down the road to get her calf or a baby running wildly in all directions bellowing for his mom! Now there are fewer cows in the pasture by the house, so we hope we will not be chasing cattle back to the right side of the fence as often.

Today there is a citywide garage sale in the town near by, and we are going to see if we can find a bike for one of our boys. Wish me luck!

God is faithful. Blessings.

A woman had a mountain bike her dad had purchased and never used for sale--$35. My son is riding it up and down the driveway as I type!
