.....with this computer!!!! I know some of you enjoy this blog....and I really do enjoy putting things on it. But it IS nice to have pictures on it - along with the story. WELL --- I have this awesome new camera and it takes real nice pictures. However, for some reason my computer suddenly stopped accepting them....or whatever terms you want. It DON'T work. And I get anywhere from frustrated to down right MAD!!!!
So this past week we went out to help our neighbor Dan Tinant move his pairs. He trucked them about 15 miles to the pasture he was leasing......and then he asked if Gary and I would move the pairs (cow and calf) once they got them paired back up. He said --- "when we're done we'll take a tour of the country". This was like WOW country!!! 2400 acres to this pasture and we drove (on our 4 wheelers) for miles and miles and didn't see any buildings --- just the wide open spaces. There is a cemetery out there - up on a butte -- where the origin owners are buried and a grandson. There are about 3 cedar trees in the cemetery fenced in area --- those are the only trees in the whole pasture that we were in. As we were going over to view the cemetery -- Gary was in the lead and then me. His wheel flipped over a BIG antler shed......6 point. And Dan stopped --- he was behind me and pointed out the matching one just 8 feet away. In all those acres --- we just happened to drive over this find. It was a fun day!!!!
On Friday -- we helped another neighbor with their branding..... the VanderWeys. We did our usual job --- nasal spray....... Rick and Kitty have about 500 head -- so that's a lot of bending over to do each calf. But you're right in the action and we truly enjoy it. Our Pastor Mark and his wife Dawn and kids - Michaela and Evan came too. Mark watched for a while and then Gary gave him his job. After we moved to the next pasture Mark said he was going to wrestle some calves. He did real good for a green horn!!! And I gave Dawn my job -- the nasal spray. First she was only going to do a few --- but she continued on til we were done. They are really getting into this country life and seem to be enjoying it a lot. I was left with nothing to do so was standing watching....... and decided I really needed to try to hold one of those calves........................ I let Sadie (VanderWey) and the guy she was helping get the calf to the ground and then I asked Sadie if I could hold the head end. "Oh sure after I wrestle it you want to hold it down". YUP..... I can see if you have a big calf it could really be a hard thing to do. I did hold the calf down......so felt like ---- I was successful this time....better leave it at that and not have a big mess up. Another busy day.....but no accidents ........so a fun day too!!!!
I've been taking photos of all our birds in the back yard.......sorry -- I can't show them. Have a couple of awesome sunsets......can't show them. Maybe one of these days this blankety blank blank computer will do it's job again...... until then just know that we are doing well. Loving our quiet little spot on God's green earth and still enjoying all of our Ministry Opportunities. Release Time will be finished next week. We are giving out Bibles to all of the kids this year. Decided that it's time for a more advanced version for our 4th graders. Yamni is still reading his Beginner Story Bible that we gave him when he was in the 1st grade. All of the groups are getting a Bible --- so it will be a nice end to the year for them.
Thank you for your interest.
Gary and Barb
