Ouch!
Thanks to Kirk, of Kizmai, AZ

Sticking to the saguaro theme -
here’s one of my old unused postcards.

This is how I spent the morning.
A prize will be awarded to the first person to decode this,
and explain what I was doing.

These were taken a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, still no digital camera here! I took them about ten minutes after we fed, so many of the calves had full bellies and were resting.

Huh?!

The Sugar Beet Baron is out drilling grain. I’m playing catch up and attempting to straighten the place up.

It Ain’t Me Babe

Wednesday night I was able to listen to the radio show. Which I did while banging my head on the keyboard, trying to post on Blogger.

We’re on dial up, no cell phones either - so after that I checked our voice mail. I discovered a message from one of my brothers. He had brought Mom to the hospital - and she was admitted. He left a number for her, which I immediately called - but it rang and rang. So I called him, and he gave me the details. I tried calling her again, and found that patient phones are shut off from 10 PM - 7 AM.

I did catch her in the morning. She sounded good. Then we took off to Billings to watch our calves sell. By the time we returned home it was time to feed again. Then I helped the Sugar Beet Baron load out barley. This is always a “fun” job. Nothing like working around PTOs and grain augers for an adrenaline burst. Talked to my Mom again. She’s okay. Well, as okay as you can be in the hospital. She was asking my brother to bring her digital camera to her. I was almost afraid to ask. She wants to take photos of the beautiful views from her windows. She’s in NY Hospital on York Avenue and 68th Street. She did sound better than she’s sounded in months. That’s a good thing!

The Baron just took off to have the grain cleaned in Billings. Sixty miles down and back in one of our farm trucks. I’d better keep the phone line open. I asked him if he wanted the Triple A card.
