A day on the farm

Saturday July 28

I talked to Jon Brandon thursday morning. He sounded good. He started crying so that got me to crying. It was so good just to hear his voice. I lost it when he  said"Momma".  He said that it would be around 3 to 4 weeks before I heard from him again. He was leaving Friday to go out into the field. I just pray that God will keep him safe and sound and protect him.  I know that he will be fine but it doesn't make the hurt and scared feelings go away.

Milk here has already gone to $5 a gallon. I figured up and my milk cost me around $1.25 a gallon. I get a gallon a day off of my goats. I noticed that when I mentioned goats milk to my friends, they make faces and say they aren't drinking goats milk. I told them, my milk didn't have all these additives and whatever else in it and atleast you know where it is coming from. I wish there was some way to enlighten people about goats milk.

Last night was my first rodeo without my rodeo partner. It was a sad and bittersweet event. I wore his shirt and belt so that atleast something of him would be with me. It's a good thing he wasn't there last night for I rode like someone who didn't know what they were doing.  I got  the second and third barrel.

I have some sewing to do today.  I plan on trying to make some potholders. I have alot of extra fabric that would be great and make some nice cute one too.

aww, sorry to hear that J.B. had a bit of a tough day..and that you did too. hang in there gal. the apron making sounds like fun. I've been thinking that I'd like to make myself a few for wearing around here. only thing that I have done with aprons is to collect the vintage ones...one's that are too fragile for wearing really.
But I've been thinking I'd like to start wearing an apron every now and again.
Oh gracious I know what you mean about the milk..here at our Winn Dixie it averages about $3.59 a gallon for the skim milk.
Hope you have a good weekend!

hey
