A Wonderful Day.

May 17, 2014 by Debra

Today was a fun and memorable day. For my husband it began as a typical weekend day, getting up from the cozy, comfortable bed and preparing to go visit the girls at 6:30 am. This is not the typical for me, I generally roll out of the same bed at 8 am on Saturday mornings. Well today, I did the non-typical. I joined Kevin and went to visit his girls.

First he fed them a bit of grain. Then he loaded them up in the trailer to visit the vet for vaccinations and the such. The Vet’s office is a busy office Saturday morning. Met a few new faces. Enjoyed hearing their stories. While visiting with the other’s I noticed the wonderful view of the mailbox. After the girl’s were taken care of, we loaded them back up and brought them home.

Kevin invited me to lunch. We went to Chunkie Dunkers on the north side of the square in Oskaloosa, KS. Really good food, I recommend their food and service.

Breakfast with the Girls

Breakfast with the Girls.

Sunday morning my husband woke me up asking if I would like to have breakfast with him and the girls. Of course I asked, “What girls?” Again he asked the same question. It took me a bit to figure out he was speaking of the cows!

My date consisted of biscuits and gravy from the local BP and then to Casey’s for tea. According to Kevin BP has the better biscuits and gravy with Casey’s having the better tea. Then off to the pasture to see the girls!

A couple of the cows are rather tame. When parked, I got out and stood in front of the truck. One of the girls came right up to me. Kevin softly said don’t move. The cow licked my arm. It startled me and in turn spooked the cow. Off she ran. The tongue was rough like sandpaper.

Of course being in the cow pasture, one had to be careful where to step!

Father’s Day | 3 Generations of Dad’s

Father’s Day Weekend with 3 generations of dad’s!

3 generation fathers — 3 Generations of Fathers

Let me first say, Father’s Day weekend was fun! Saturday I was able to spend the morning with my daughter, son-in-law and Briella. We went to the park and took lovely images of Brie in her pretty blue dress (previous post). Sunday began at 8:00 am at the local TSC store.

My daughter and husband have for many years gone to bird shows- I am not up on the technical terms so bare with me. Every third Sunday TSC hosts a swap meet for small livestock- chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits. It was amazing because chickens are not just chickens- there are many different breeds and these people know them all!

Briella was not the happiest camper. Her gums were tender with the last tooth cutting through. But when Erika brought the little rabbit over for Briella to see, she soon brightened up and was thrilled with “Bubble”. Oh how she got excited and began saying bubble repeatedly. According to Erika, Briella was referring to the cartoon, Bubble Guppies. And that was how the rabbit got her name!

After the swap meet we went back to Erika and Shaune’s home where my folks came over for dinner. Shaune smoked brisket and it was delicious! Homemade ice cream and chocolate cake was for dessert. Yum.
