Goodnight Tina. Sleep well.

See everyone tomorrow.

Good morning. I woke up hungry today. I think I'll nap a bit more until really starting my day.

Good Morning. Rest away, Tina.

Here it is too cold for much else !

Cold and rainy here as well.

I am going to work on my mystery game today, after I make a Wal-Mart order.

I think I need to rest again today.

Junie, what's your mystery game?

It's so windy and dry here and everything is covered in pollen. It seems like it rained every day during the winter and now it hasn't rained for weeks. Supposed to rain Saturday but it's passed me by the last coupe of times. Rained at Shelley's but not here.

Sweet dreams all.

Sheri. It is a 6 month set of games that culminates in the solving of a crime at the end of the 6 "episodes". You can solve each "episode" as soon as you have the required answer, and request the next episode to be sent early, but I just let the "episodes" come once a month, to spread out the fun. It was a Christmas gift from my daughter. You can look up "Hunt A Killer" - Curtain Call - to see what I am talking about. Mine is about a murder at a fictitious Theater called the Cadence in New York in 1934. In each episode there are ciphers to be solved among other things. I have been enjoying it. Also there are several different scenarios to choose from.

Good to see you, Sheri.

Goodnight and sweet dreams friends.

Bestofour, I could send you some snow...they are calling for a major snow storm tonight, the only good thing is that it should be the last 'big' one for the rest of spring season.

I had to cover things again last night. Weather forecasters say that was the last one for the season. We will see. My poor magnolia tree has lost flowers twice. The first time it was covered So last night I did not bother to cover it.

Supper is in the slow cooker. I have all 4 kids again this evening.

Good morning. It's late, I better get some coffee in me.

Oh goody, it sounds like you got some extra sleep. Sleep is wonderful.

And coffee is better.

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight, Tina. Sleep well.

I too am going to sleep. Sweet Dreams everyone.

I am sitting here watching it snow...and not a little. It is a discouraging sight.....at least it is supposed to warm up in a few days to melt this mess.

On a good note, I have three cows that are due to calf in the next week or so.

yay for new calves. so happy for you.

no snow here but it is sure cold..well cold for here at this time of year..48*F

Calves, how wonderful! Do you do AI or bring in bulls?
John went to work on a dairy farm when he was on a sabbatical in New Zealand. He was helping them out for room and board and experience. The owners were a young couple with a pair of twin newborn girls. He had met the mother when she was traveling in the US with a sister-cities group. They were sitting around going over their books trying to figure out how they could afford the AI. He piped up and said he could do it. And they were ecstatic. He did and they were good to go.

Sweet dreams all.

Tina, we have done AI before but not much luck...it was a young man learning how to do it for his father's dairy farm. So we have gone back to the bull situation. If the AI would have worked we would have stayed with it, the young man only charged for the price of the 'straw' and his gas so he could get the practice. It would have been worth the $60 if it would have worked.

DH worked on a dairy farm for many years, I did for a bit as well off and on...so strange, the wife was pregnant with twins and lost one, so I went in for a full year that time.

John must have had a lot of stories to tell from his expeditions.

There were many stories. And pictures. And videos. He called it all his barnyard porn. There were many friends involved too. He is missed.

How is your area doing lately Tina....pandemic wise? Vaccinations are slow going here, this week is age 65 to 70.

Everybody 16 and up is eligible for the vaccine here. I don't know how it's doing locally but California has a good grip on the virus right now. I don't have a good way to track the vaccines locally. Tangela is still testing positive as of this past week. That is a bummer because she can't get vaccinated until she goes negative.

When the kids clothes are dry "Grandma" will go to bed.

Cora lost her elephant lovie this evening, but thank goodness I found it. We still have not found the original elephant lovie. It is here someplace......

I will say goodnight now. Sleep well my friends.

I am glad you found Cora's friend.

Yes, kids and their 'friends' are a treasure. GG lost her 'Ginky' once and is was a disaster.

Tina, that is a long time for Tangela....is she still considered contagious as well?

Well, no. Not for shopping and such. She is still wearing a mask and will continue for the foreseeable future. But she can't donate blood and such.

Thanks about "Dumbo"...we lost the original Dumbo here at the house..so I had one at my house called. "Jumbo" and she took it home, renamed it Dumbo and brought me a new "elephant" to live at my house....I am still wondering where the original Dumbo is at...????

That sounds like Tangela is at least on the right track..I hope she tests negative soon.

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight Tina !

Goodnight everyone !

Junie, I found 'Ginky' caught in between the couch back....I still have no clue how it even got shoved in there. I found it when I tore apart the bottom of the couch to fix a spring.

Just mopped myself into a corner for a few.

We. (Valarie and I) have looked everywhere here....and Val has looked behind me...I think we need to move beds next...even though Henry has crawled under the beds and looked for me.

Good luck.

We have just got notice that the mutant from India has been found in our province.....and so it starts again.

Oh, I'm sorry, Sunny. That sucks. I hope things ease off for you soon.

Oh my, I am so sorry, Sunny. Take care.

Sweet Dreams...

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight, Tina

Good Morning ..coffee is ready !

I'll take a cup. It'll go well with my strawberries.
