Good Monday Morning!
First of all.....thank you for the well wishes to get better....
I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
I do feel quite a bit better....thank the Lord...but I'm not hittin' on 100% yet!
My ribs are sooooo incredibly sore (especially when I cough....ohhhh!!!) and I have laryngitis to boot!
Everybody is sooo busy today.....
DH has so much on him to get done....he has a truck to finish working on (PTL!!), we need to get
firewood in here ASAP......colder and possibly snowy weather is coming..... :-O
Our son was asked to come in to work today....he's usually off on Monday's.....but his boss needed him to come in.....he works in a machine shop not far from here....he's been there since right before he was 17.....he'll be 19 in July....this is the only job he's ever had other than working with my DH on trucks and here on the farm....He was stressing about having to go in "unexpectedly" to work when he has another job(mechanic work on 66 Ford) in the shop that he planned on doing work on for a gentleman....It has had to have ALOT of work done to it and still more to do.......
Then, his and DD's calves are out of feed....and he was going to have to go get that too.....
Welcome to life in the real world....huh? :)
I'm so thankful that we all live on the farm together and where one can't get it all done others in
the family are there to step in to help!
DD is going with my FIL "Poppy" to get the feed so my son won't have to go during his lunch hour and get it and then unload it after dark when he gets off work....he'll be glad of that..... :)
Then,I'm sure Poppy and DD will help my DH get some logs cut
(DH has had some back issues) and bring a load of firewood home for us to stack outside by the woodstove.....
Since I'm still under the weather....I have been doing housework.....made the beds....washed dishes...put a load of clothes in to wash and the other load in to dry.....fed the "kitty boys".......
I'll need to go to town....run by the bank & pick up a few things at the grocery sometime today too.....
Need to fix something warm and tastey for lunch....especially since some of the family has spent part of the morning outside and it's pretty cold here today.....
We were planning another trip to Market later this week to shop for the store.......don't know what the weather is supposed to do for sure yet......so we don't know if we're going to get to go or not.....????
I really want to.....but I sure don't want to DH to drive in bad weather and risk having a wreck....it's so not worth that!!
Guess we'll have to wait and see........???
I'd better go plan something for lunch and get it going......
Need to do the vacuuming too.....so until the next post.....
Have a great day! :)

I hope you feel better soon!! It's no fun being sick and worrying about what needs to be done!!
Sounds like life around the farm is busy indeed ... I certainly understand about that wood pile. Ours is looking dangerously low and the chain saw wasn't working today ... so to the shop it goes. Hope it gets back on time. We haven't turned onthe the electric heat system all season and I'm hoping to make it through the entire winter.
Glad that you're feeling better ... but don't overdo it now. Take time for rest and keep drinking those fluids!
Always love hearing from you!

Hi ya!
I tried to post last night about your being sick, but my computer wasn't cooperating.
Glad you're feeling some better, and hope it doesn't hang on like some people have had it. I didn't have the stomach thing with mine, only the coughing and nausea.
We're anticipating 2 clippers...2 in. by morning. They've been wrong all year, so who knows.
I really hate this bitter cold. Hope it passes fast.
Feel better soon!
