Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

Coffee is ready. Who wants to join me for a cup. There is nothing better than fresh brewed coffee and a good friend to share it with.

I'll have a coffee with you Tami, it is nearly lunch time and it will be my first one of the day.

Morning all. Thanks for the coffee, Tami.

Good luck Suzy, not that you will need it. How long is the casual position for?

Noice, just in time for an evening cuppa, I will have a cup of tea with you, Tami.

I'll read posts later. Just dropping in quickly to say that there were no new calves born last night. I fed hay to the cows and took pictures of the bull calf born in November. I'll need the pictures for tomorrow. He's such an outstanding little bull (purebred, too) that I'd like to show him. I want to talk to the man that I bought his mother from (Johnnie), and see if he'd take this calf, train him for the show ring and show him for me. Johnnie knows his sire, Rede, well. He's too good not to show. And I have to get some of my stock into the show ring if I want to get buyers and good prices for my registered calves.

I need to run to town to get the film developed and pick up some insulators so we can finish that fence and get the power back up on it. That fence also holds George's steers in, and I've been worried that they'll go through the fence. Again.

Busy, busy. Busy.

Oh, yeah..... I told IH that I'm going to the KY Beef Expo Red Angus Show tomorrow and he hit the roof. Lots of swearing about me spending my money on cattle I don't need. He keeps saying that I can breed better animals than I can buy, but he doesn't seem to realize that I need good stock to start with to produce those better ones. My cow numbers are low as well because of some thinning out I did a few years ago. I want to have a 50 cow herd, and I don't yet.

Oh, yeah, again. Tomorrow is just the Show. The sale of the cattle being shown (+ others not being shown) isn't until the next day. I can't get in trouble tomorrow.

I bet you can get into trouble Heidi. I'm sure there will be things to buy at that show.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Brenda. Or maybe stop for some birds on the way home????

Morning all,
Heidi, I remember you thinning out the herd. Got rid of a few troublemakers if I remember correctly.

Theresa, only one day so far.

Hi everyone.
Suzy...have a great day.Like all have said, you will be fine.
June...the news about your friend is getting better and better.
Heidi...bummer about your foot.Hope you get a few terrific cattle at the sale.
Theresa...you have been through so much.I hope it is all sailing along nicely now.
MizT..and everyone else...thinking of you all.
I am up to my neck with things to do and fast running out of time.Gotta run.

Theresa, how is your daughter doing? Can she do the stairs yet? I bet she is hanging out to sleep in a real bed for a change!

Nola, I hope you get some 'Nola' time today.

This is Alie's latest status:
why is everything so dramatic? Its like life has become a corny tv show

It's all to do with her band - which she is quitting today.

Good Morning All.
Go get 'em Zusy.
Nola, good to see you.
Just saw Mum fly in to do her shift.

GREAT day!!! We just had 2 new bull calves born! One is out of my youngest purebred heifer, sired by the same bull who sired the calf that died. This young mama had no problem!
Robert and I have quit for the day. We got the new gate hung, and the fence completed. It looks great and works even better than it looks. All I have left to do today is to run into town to pick up the film being developed, then I need to bury that calf still.

Actually, the bird deal was today. I was in the farm store getting insulators and gate hinges, and I was offered a male Silver Pheasant. Of course, I said yes. We're trading him for a young pair of Gouldian Finches.

I'm off..

Suzy, not much change in my daughter, very minimal walking, no stairs, lot of pain. Have a great day!

Sending my thoughts for your daughter Theresa ♥

Thanks Gail. Next week her hubby is back to work, so it promises to be hectic. I am doing a fair bit of relaxing this week ... a mini vacation at home. I'm cleaning up crafts and paperwork, moving things around ....

Morning

♥ and ((Hugs)) to all and sundry

Julie, fingers crossed, hopefully the cooler weather you sent, is finally reaching us Saturday, Sunday Monday. (Just in time for the long weekend)
Temps in the high 20's forecasted, before heading into the low 30's again.
And cooler overnight temps

Morning all
Suzy - you've left for work by now - hoping all goes well! I'm sure it will.
Nola - pleased you called in, I was just thinking about you this morning.
Theresa - here's hoping your daughter starts to improve over the weekend so that you can finally relax a bit.
Heidi - you're constantly so busy, you make me tired.
Broni - I just saw an eagle changeover too.
Hello everyone else!

Checking in without reading. Nothing wrong, just feeling blah today. Back seems a tad better, not sure why I am not fit company today. Hope to be fit for polite society soon, till then I leave hugs with extras.

Mizt you have so much on your plate and so many worries we understand when you don't feel up to chatting. You are both in our thoughts at all times. Take care and post when you feel up to it.

CynB.... IH seems to think that all I do all day, every day, is sit on my butt in front of the computer and do nothing.

What brenda said, MizT. (((( HUGS ))))

Heidi, sitting in front of the computer is not doing nothing. Keeping in touch with your friends is important.

Wishing everyone a good day/night. I am going to tuck myself in early and watch some tv. Boys are watching basketball and I would rather not. See you all tomorrow.

Since he's always inside, usually in his office, he only sees me when I'm inside taking a break. I wonder how he thinks things get done here.... by magic?

MizT - what the others said!
Heidi - I reckon men think a lot of things are done by magic - washing, shopping, cleaning etc. What makes me mad is that I get the groceries and then hubby says - 'Did you buy me some razors/deodorant whatever....' Ummm, not if you don't tell me you needed it, I'm not a mind-reader!!

That's one of IH's favorites, Cyn.

Good maEn everyone!!
Heidi: Most men (including Darrell)thinks things happen by magic. OR invisible elves...he comes home, house clean, gee I wonder how THAT happened??? LOL

Darrell bought a 4-pack of "Mork & Mindy" DVD set. Laughing (and coughing) my %^&& off!!!
TTFN everyone.

Off for a last cow check before bed. I need to get up early for the show.

I'm home and I survived!
Year 11 Physics were doing refraction which I haven't looked at since high school, but there was a great worksheet.

Year 9 Science were doing earth type stuff, ditto above.

Year 12 Physics were doing motors and generators - yikes!

Year 8 Science were doing, you guessed it, biology! But I was subbing for a good teacher so he made it all easy..

Good for you, Suzy!!!! You faced your fears and overcame them!!! I'd like to give you a hug , a pat on the back and a medal, but I bet you'd prefer cash.

And I'm off to bed. I'm leaving here at 8 am and picking up Robert along the way. He wants to come to the show tomorrow and the sale the next day. If/when I buy some cows, he can help me load them in the trailer.

Oh, yeah. The first time mother today is a heifer I bought there last year. The sire of her calf is the bull (Yahtzee) I bought there last year as well.
