School Days...




From Jim: I have the privilege to serve on a school board. After years as a school teacher and administrator, it's been nice to support education in this role. Today was spent meeting with all of the staff members and our principal as we move towards planning for next year. That meant Donna got to do all of the morning chores alone. She'll be leaving Friday to visit our new grand baby in Denver and I'll have all the chores for awhile. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Not sure about that, but chores sure do. Laz gets his cast off and his foot back tomorrow. He'll be one happy dog! Dr. Darling has worked his medical magic again for one our critters. Thanks Doc! The old flatbed just keeps on movin hay. It's a funny old truck and the recent weather has made me feel even more strongly about getting the heater back in it. With the rise of the cost of fuel I'll need to start moving 100 bales at a time to cut down the trips for the month. That means either the GM and the big trailer or the flatbed and the smaller trailer. Both choices are no fun to drive. but that's the way of it right now. A couple of the horses on our watch list have shown some real improvement. That's a real upper for us. We like to see some of our old critters have a chance at one more nice summer to doze and enjoy life. We've had a wonderful response to the article in the local paper. The donations we've received will help us so much. Thank You to everyone that has helped. We will always need donations to care for the herd and people have been so kind and generous. Who says there are no angels? Oh, and go love on your pets. It's a good thing to do!
